About the role

• Staff Product Manager leading AI-native product initiatives and mentoring peers at Orion. Driving technical direction and representing product vision within teams and executive forums.

Responsibilities

• Own the highest-leverage, ambiguous, or hardest-to-solve problems in the pillar — the platform-level bets and the initiatives where the outcome matters most
• Personally ship the work: PRDs, prototypes, shipped features, customer research synthesis, and post-launch analyses — at the quality bar the rest of the team calibrates against
• Build and deploy AI-native workflows: prototype in AI coding tools, run discovery and synthesis through LLMs, ship internal agents that eliminate repetitive work, and publish those workflows as team standards
• Partner with engineering leadership on technical direction for the pillar — data contracts, AI/model integration decisions, platform investments
• Translate GM-level strategy into a crisp, opinionated product vision for the pillar; set the product quality bar the team works against
• Run end-to-end discovery: customer interviews, data analysis, competitive research, opportunity sizing — AI-accelerated at every stage
• Lead cross-pillar initiatives that touch more than one product, where a senior IC perspective is more valuable than a management handoff
• Represent the pillar in customer executive conversations, industry forums, and cross-functional executive reviews
• Mentor 3–6 peer PMs through weekly 1:1s, PRD reviews, shadowing on discovery calls, and pair-shipping on hard problems
• Raise the team's AI fluency: teach AI-native workflows, maintain the pillar's prompt and agent library, review AI-generated artifacts for quality
• Own the hiring bar for the pillar's PM hires; lead technical interview loops and make hire/no-hire calls alongside the GM
• Be the person peers escalate to when stuck — unblock them and make the call on hard tradeoffs
• Model operating norms (documentation, async comms, meeting hygiene) that keep the team flat and fast

Requirements

• Has a proven track record of shipping successful products at senior IC level
• Has a deep, demonstrable AI fluency and has built features powered by LLMs, ships prototypes in modern AI coding tools, understands eval frameworks, cost tradeoffs, and agent architectures; this is not "has used ChatGPT"
• Possess strong technical instincts; reads code, writes SQL, works fluently with APIs, holds substantive conversations with senior engineers
• Has world-class written communication; writes the clearest PRD in the room
• Has mastery of discovery craft; customer interviews, competitive teardowns, data analysis, synthesis
• Possesses evidence of raising the bar for teammates (mentorship outcomes, artifacts adopted as team standards, successful hires championed)
• Has comfort with ambiguity and a strong bias to ship
• Has a minimum of a bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
• Has 10+ years in product management or product engineering, with clear evidence of increasing scope and complexity
• At least one tour in a heavily AI-forward or technically deep product role

Benefits

• health, dental, vision, and disability coverage on day one
• 401(k) plan with employer match
• paid parental leave
• pet benefits including pawternity leave and pet insurance
• student loan repayment and more
