Staff Product Manager, Internal AI Solutions

Crusoe•San Francisco, CA

7d•$215,000 - $260,000

About The Position

Crusoe is investing in internal AI products that change how the business operates. This is the senior product role driving that work forward. You'll own the strategy, roadmap, and outcomes for Crusoe's internal software products. You'll lead discovery with business teams across the company, prioritize ruthlessly, write the PRDs that drive build decisions, and partner closely with internal engineering to ship. You'll also prototype directly with AI development tools, using working software to validate ideas and accelerate decisions. This is a senior product role, but not a conventional one. You'll do the full PM job: strategy, discovery, roadmap, metrics, and stakeholder leadership. It demands product rigor and technical depth at speed. Above all, it's for someone with a real appetite for making a company-changing impact.

Requirements

8+ years of software product management experience, including time at Staff / Principal / Lead IC level
Proven product craft across the full cycle: discovery methods (user interviews, workflow analysis, jobs-to-be-done), roadmap prioritization frameworks, defining and measuring product outcomes, PRD-grade writing, post-launch iteration
A portfolio of shipped products that materially changed user behavior or business outcomes at scale -- internal tools, customer-facing software, or both
Hands-on engineering ability with AI coding assistants and agent frameworks. You can ship a working prototype end-to-end, not just spec it
Strong judgment on build vs. buy vs. kill. You don't fall in love with your prototypes
Demonstrated track record of leading cross-functional work with senior executives as peers, influencing without authority
Excellent written communication. You lead through artifacts -- PRDs, strategy docs, decision memos, one-pagers that get busy executives to a decision
Bias for action, low ego, and a high tolerance for the ambiguity of standing up something new

Nice To Haves

Background in IT, internal tools, or business operations at a high-growth company
Experience integrating enterprise SaaS platforms (HRIS, ERP, CRM, contract lifecycle management, etc.)
Familiarity with embedded technical product roles (forward-deployed PM or engineer, or similar senior IC models)
Prior work in data center, infrastructure, or energy industries

Responsibilities

Own Crusoe's internal AI product and software portfolio. Drive decisions on what gets built, in what order, and why.
Influence the broader strategy for how Crusoe builds and deploys internal AI software, with a sharp point of view on where it's heading.
Lead deep discovery with business stakeholders -- interviews, workflow observation, jobs-to-be-done analysis.
Translate findings into a prioritized roadmap.
Apply rigorous frameworks (ROI, effort, strategic fit, build vs. buy) to allocate engineering capacity.
Defend trade-offs with data.
Define success metrics for every solution shipped -- adoption, time and money saved, error reduction, business impact.
Instrument from day one.
Hold the function accountable to outcomes, not output.
Define and own the end-to-end process from intake to graduation: rapid validation, the criteria that promote a prototype into a platform-scale solution, the hand-off to engineering and enterprise technology teams.
Write the PRD first -- ground it in the discovery, prioritization, and success metrics that make it a defensible spec engineering can scale.
Build a working prototype yourself with AI development tools and agent frameworks to validate the design.
Be the best customer the internal engineering team has.
Defend prioritization, protect against scope creep.
Author the PRDs, strategy docs, and decision memos that move work forward.
Lead executives and functional VPs as peers.
Influence without authority.
Make this new way of working legible across the company.
