Role Description The Forward Deployed PM is the person who makes that delivery real. Strategy work sets the direction; this role turns it into a product the client can use. You'll own AI product builds from kickoff through iteration, and you'll be the single point of contact our clients trust to keep things on track. Project types span across building process automations, driving enterprise implementations, and working on custom product builds. You translate the strategy into a real product, define what success looks like, run the build, manage the client relationship, set structured direction for your team, and shape what comes next as the engagement progresses. Strong PMs here don't just deliver. They raise the bar on AI output quality, challenge scope when it matters, and feed what they learn back into how Casper works. This is a role for someone who wants to be the PM for multiple AI products at once, with ownership over outcomes. The best background is someone who has owned client work at top consulting firms or finance firms, product roles at AI-native companies or AI consultancies, and forward deployed roles at tech companies. The common thread is working with AI products and a real sense of ownership over quality and client outcomes. Qualifications - 4 to 7 years of experience running client engagements in fast-paced environments: top-tier consulting firms, finance, AI consultancies, AI startups, or forward deployed roles in tech - A track record of shipping thoughtful AI products or features - AI-native mindset: you use AI tools daily and think from first principles about what AI makes possible - Strong written and verbal communication: you lead client meetings independently, write crisp communications, and drive alignment with your team - Comfort with technical concepts and a desire to build on your own. You don't need to write production code, but you use AI tools and understand what technical stakeholders need - An ownership mentality. References describe you as someone who runs things, not someone who needs to be managed - Self-directed and excited by the pace of an early stage firm Requirements - Own one or two active client engagements as the single point of contact, keeping things on track from kickoff through iteration - Turn ambiguous client needs into clear requirements, a prioritized backlog, and a plan the team can build against - Run sprints, manage timelines, and make the scope and resourcing tradeoffs that keep builds shipping - Set the bar for AI output quality, define acceptance thresholds, and set the evaluation plan - Surface blockers and scope creep early, with a recommended path forward - Direct the daily work of designers and engineers on your engagement, aligning priorities and unblocking the team - Partner closely with our AI Strategists on engagement handoffs, ongoing scoping, and shaping the next phase of work as the relationship grows - Deliver polished client materials and communications about project plans, product decisions, and risks and mitigations - Develop replicable processes across projects, experiment with AI-first approaches, and scale insights across the product team Benefits - Fully remote (US-based), with occasional client travel - Base salary: $160,000–$180,000, plus performance bonus and equity - Flexible PTO
