What You Will Do

We are seeking a Senior AI Technical Product Manager to serve as the primary product driver for the illumend initiative. This is a role for a "strong doer" who lives, eats, and breathes product management in an AI-first world. You won’t just manage a roadmap; you will fully own the creation of development-ready tickets, conduct live prototyping, and deeply embed AI into your daily workflow to move with immense velocity.

You must take a highly complex B2B topic—one that the end-user does not know, understand, or care to understand—and translate it into an experience that feels insanely simple and consumer-oriented. You aren't just building features; you are designing an intuitive interface that triggers behavioral psychology and drives humans to take definitive action.

• Proven track record of product leadership, ideally gained at a start up tech firm where you developed a rigorous approach to the product craft
•  You Do not just understand AI; you operate in a "fully AI way," leveraging tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or similar to accelerate documentation, ticketing, and live prototyping
• You refuse to rely on second-hand information. You are driven to dig in and learn the customer’s needs directly to balance user value against business costs and technical effort
• You are comfortable owning the long-term strategy while remaining deep in the weeds of technical requirements, detailed documentation, roadmap planning and ticketing
• You are a confident leader who prioritizes solving the customer’s problem above all else, even if it means challenging internal assumptions or executive direction
• Turn complex, dense B2B requirements into a frictionless, consumer-oriented user experience. Abstract away the underlying complexity so the product feels effortless to the end-user
• Design features, workflows, and prompts rooted in a deep understanding of human behavior, explicitly engineered to motivate users to take the specific actions required for success
• Operate in a "fully AI way." Utilize AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar) to exponentially accelerate documentation, draft comprehensive PRDs, write highly detailed developer tickets, and build rapid, live prototypes
• Take absolute ownership of the product delivery pipeline. Translate customer workflows and complex technical architecture into precise, granular, and airtight technical requirements ready for development
• Refuse to rely on secondhand information. Dig in directly to learn the customer’s actual needs, habits, and psychology to ensure we are designing the absolute right solutions
• Conduct rapid prototyping experiments to test functionality, validate user behavior, and quickly iterate on new UX concepts before they hit full development

• Ability to conduct live prototyping experiments and a deep understanding of how AI impacts the product lifecycle
• You are thorough and diligent in your documentation and product delivery processes
• Use AI tools to accelerate documentation, summarize meetings, draft specs, organize information, and keep delivery artifacts thorough and current
• Deep familiarity with product-led growth, behavioral psychology, or UX methodologies aimed at driving user activation, engagement, and habit formation
• A strong technical background (perhaps having come up through a technical lane or engineering background) that allows you to confidently drive architecture discussions and bridge the gap between product complexity and engineering execution
• A strong aversion to big-company bureaucracy. You thrive in a lean, fast-paced environment where you must be self-driven, adaptable, and comfortable operating with high velocity

• An obsessive empathy for the user. The rare ability to ruthlessly cut down clutter and simplify user flows down to their absolute essence
• Mastery of modern AI tools to optimize your daily work—using AI to summarize user feedback, draft specifications, organize complex information, and keep delivery artifacts thorough and current
• You are thorough, diligent, and obsessive about clean documentation, roadmap planning, and ticket structuring.
