Product Manager

About Zeno AI

Zeno AI helps people rehearse high-stakes conversations before they happen.

We launched in May 2026 with a voice-based AI interviewer that runs realistic mock interviews, scores candidates with recruiter-grade rigor, and gives concrete coaching tied to specific moments in the conversation.

Today, over 200 candidates and a handful of companies use Zeno. We’re starting with interview prep, but the broader vision is to help people prepare for any high-stakes conversation: sales pitches, fundraising calls, negotiations, performance reviews, podcasts, panels, and more.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Founding Product Manager to help shape the product experience, user strategy, and growth direction behind Zeno.

You’ll work directly with the founders to understand users, define product priorities, turn feedback into features, and help build a product people genuinely rely on before important conversations. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to operate close to the product, customers, and strategy of an early-stage AI company.

You should be comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, user research, product writing, and translating messy customer needs into clear product decisions. We care less about perfect credentials and more about whether you can think clearly, move fast, and help us build something users love.

What You’ll Do

Talk to users regularly to understand pain points, behavior, and product gaps

Help define Zeno’s product roadmap across mock interviews, feedback, scoring, personalization, and future conversation-prep use cases

Translate user feedback into clear product specs, wireframes, workflows, and priorities

Work closely with engineering to ship new features quickly and iterate based on usage

Improve the onboarding, interview setup, feedback, and post-session coaching experience

Help design evaluation flows for interview quality, scoring accuracy, and user progress

Analyze user sessions, conversion funnels, retention, and qualitative feedback

Support growth experiments across waitlist users, job seekers, recruiters, schools, and companies

Help position Zeno clearly through landing pages, product copy, emails, demos, and user education

Own product areas end-to-end, from discovery to launch to iteration

Help define the product culture, customer obsession, and operating rhythm of the company
