As a Product Manager at Planned, you'll own a core product area end-to-end and help build the AI-native operating system for corporate event management and procurement. You'll work directly with the founders and product leadership to define what we build: who you build for, which workflows you win, and how we turn multi-agent automation into something customers can't live without. Every decision you make materially changes the trajectory of the product.
What You'll Do
- Own a product area end-to-end: from defining core user, workflows, and product surfaces to pressure-testing ideas yourself, designing and vibe-coding prototypes
- Build genuine understanding of our users through research, testing, and tight loops with engineering, design, customer success, and GTM teams.
- Collaborate tightly with engineers and designers to turn customer feedback into shipped features, staying hands-on through to build.
- Translate a broad market opportunity into clear, sequenced priorities you can ship.
- Turn customer conversations, sales learnings, and product usage into clear product direction.
- Run product operating cadences across discovery, prioritization, shipping, feedback, and iteration.
- Help define how AI, agents, automation, and workflow come together in the product.
What We're Looking For
- Experience shipping product at a high-growth technology company, executing on a complex B2B product or product area.
- Strong product taste - you have a clear point of view on what makes products simple, elegant, and differentiated, and you can articulate why.
- You design and build, not just spec - comfortable in design tools and AI-assisted coding to prototype your own ideas.
- AI tools are a natural part of how you work, not an afterthought.
- Strong customer intuition - you quickly identify pain and translate ambiguity into clear direction.
- Curious and high-agency - you figure things out and don't wait to be told what to do next.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration - you make decisions with incomplete information and create clarity where there wasn't any.
- Exceptional prioritization judgment - you know how to sequence work, say no, and create focus.
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience building AI-native products, multi-agent systems, or workflow automation.
- Experience building for procurement, operations, events, marketplaces, or complex B2B workflows.
- Experience with payments, supplier/vendor management, or document and data extraction pipelines.
- Experience partnering with technical teams on product architecture, APIs, integrations, or AI infrastructure.
- Culture of high performance, strong talent density and in-person collaboration
- Unlimited PTO
- Competitive base pay and equity packages
- All the tools and gear you need to be successful (Macbook Pro, screens, mouse, keyboard, ChatGPT, Fullstory, etc)
- Health, dental, vision, psychology insurance
- Professional development subsidy
- Bus pass subsidy or indoor parking
- Stocked up snack bar & lunches in office 2x per week
- Dog-friendly office
- Relocation assistance, if needed
Skills Required
- Experience shipping product at a high-growth technology company
- Strong product taste and ability to articulate design and build principles
- Proficient in design tools and AI-assisted coding
- Strong customer intuition for identifying pain points
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast iteration
