Staff Product Manager, AI

Overstory • Canada, KY

3d • Remote

About The Position

At Overstory, we're scaling a product that helps utilities prevent wildfires and keep the lights on, and we're shaping the next generation of AI-native experiences that will define where our product goes next. We're looking for a Staff Product Manager, AI to lead this important 0-1 work and drive this evolution forward. Reporting to the Director of Product, this individual will be the founding product partner for a small team of engineers and designers, working hand-in-hand with our customer on the ground in the US. They will own the problem end-to-end, from first interviews, to early prototypes, to the first version of a product utilities pay for and rely on. This is a great opportunity for someone who is both a thinker and a doer: someone who cares deeply about the craft of product, who likes shipping fast as the best way to learn, and who is energized by getting AI into customers' hands and learning what actually creates value.
Time Zone Requirement: United States & Canada (NST, AST, EST & CST). Some travel to customer sites required. Comfortable maintaining 3-4 hours of overlap European working hours for collaboration with the broader Overstory team.

Requirements

• 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record that proves both craft and shipping velocity
• 0-to-1 experience, at a startup, or spinning up a new product line or business unit inside a larger company.
• AI-native solution design: you think agentic-first, combining models, tools, retrieval, and workflows into coherent systems (not "LLM as a feature").
• Hands-on experience shipping agentic AI products in production. You're comfortable with LLMs, evals, prompts, and the messy middle of turning AI capabilities into reliable customer experiences, and you can discuss model behavior, evaluation, and trade-offs with engineers.
• Proven track record building customer-facing products that real users rely on every day.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication. You bring clarity to ambiguity, make decisions visible, and bring teams and customers along as things shift.
• A passion for the urgency of solving our climate crisis.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building B2B or enterprise products, especially with customers in operationally complex industries (utilities, energy, infrastructure, logistics).
• Experience as a forward-deployed or embedded PM, working hand-in-hand with one or two strategic customers

Responsibilities

• Lead 0-to-1 product development for a new AI-native grid resilience product, from earliest problem framing through to first version shipped and used by customers.
• Decide what to build (and just as importantly, what not to) by combining customer discovery, AI feasibility, and Overstory's broader vision.
• Design and ship agentic, AI-native workflows in tight loops with engineering and design, favoring prototypes, evaluations, and live customer reactions over long specs.
• Define the success metrics for this new area, set what "good" looks like, and hold the team honest as we iterate.
• Communicate clearly and frequently with the broader Overstory team, making the bets visible, the learnings shareable, and the trade-offs explicit.
• Contribute to the broader product strategy at Overstory as we figure out how this new area connects to, and reinforces, the core product

Benefits

• Competitive, location-specific compensation and benefits
• Flexible, autonomous and collaborative working environment rooted in trust - we build our work days around our lives, not the other way around
• Home office stipend, coworking and ongoing education budgets
• A company culture that genuinely embodies each of our core values
• To be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects earth’s natural resources and helps solve our climate crisis
