Job Description
Principal Product Manager
G-P
• Drive the end-to-end H3 discovery process—framing the jobs-to-be-done (JTBD), building prototypes, and managing low-fidelity experiments. • Collaborate with your Engineering counterpart to ship weekly "sketchy V0s" and fake-door experiments rather than scalable V1s, optimizing for speed of validated learning. • Talk to target users, alpha participants, and industry edge-cases constantly. Build deep qualitative empathy to uncover latent human needs from real workflows, not feature requests. • Obsess over a strict succession of metrics before considering delivery economics or monetization. • Actively evaluate data points from weekly probes to confidently make "Persevere, Pivot, or Kill" recommendations—treating a quick, low-cost "Kill" as a major win. • Maintain a disciplined focus on radical innovation, calling out and rejecting ideas that are merely incremental optimizations.
Job Requirements
- Engineering Background: You can read code, reason about technical architecture, and partner as a true peer with engineering counterparts.
- 0-to-1 Product Chops: A proven track record of taking raw ideas from concept to early product-market fit, running discovery, and turning qualitative data into immediate execution.
- Agentic AI Fluency: You leverage modern AI primitives daily (e.g., Cursor agents, LLM orchestration) and treat AI as a structural foundation to build products.
- Tastemaker: Strong product sense and design ability. You develop mid-fidelity prototypes independently when required without a designer.
- Core Data Analysis Skills: Exceptional ability to work with fragmented usage data, behavioral metrics, and qualitative research to generate fast insights.
- Process and Workflow Encoding: Capable of breaking complex, friction-filled global industries down to their primitives and encoding those workflows into digital products.
- Extreme Ownership and Speed: You default to action, thrive in unmapped environments, and possess a massive tolerance for ambiguity.
Benefits
- generous paid parental leave
- flexible time off
- spending accounts
- medical insurance
- dental insurance
- vision insurance
- sabbatical after 5 years and more.

Head of Product, Ad Intelligence
GuidelineGuideline is now part of @Gusto, serving 34,000+ businesses and their employees.
• Drive the product roadmap for the contributor vertical and the ad intelligence products within scope — the analytics products and query agent that turn Guideline's spend data into intelligence agencies and media companies act on. • Own the contributor vertical as a product problem — understand what creates onboarding friction, what drives attrition, and what makes a contributor expand their relationship with Guideline. • Build to address all three. • Own the scalability of the contributor stack — the ingestion infrastructure and data quality gates that determine whether Guideline can grow the contributor pool without compounding the problems that come with it. • Set the data quality standard — define what clean contributor data looks like, build the mechanisms that catch problems before they reach downstream products, and hold that bar as a product commitment. • Make it dramatically easier to become a Guideline contributor — the portal experience, onboarding workflows, and partner processes should turn a drawn-out integration into a competitive advantage. • Work directly with the CPO on ad intelligence product strategy and contributor growth; bring the client and market insight that connects platform decisions to product outcomes. • Build and deploy AI agents and skills as a routine part of the job.
