Original Job Description
Senior Product Manager at Hatz AI
Hatz AI is looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our AI-native platform — products that are actively reshaping how Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and small-to-medium businesses harness the power of artificial intelligence. You’ll sit at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and real-world customer needs, working side-by-side with a tight-knit team of exceptional engineers and designers to ship products that matter. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for someone who thrives on turning ambiguity into momentum and complexity into clarity.
What You’ll Do
Define and drive the product vision — Own the end-to-end strategy and roadmap for Hatz AI’s core products, making bold prioritization decisions that balance near-term execution with long-term differentiation
Lead high-velocity product cycles — Partner closely with engineers and designers to move fast and ship with intention, maintaining a weekly release cadence without sacrificing quality or user experience
Be the voice of the customer — Conduct ongoing discovery with MSPs and SMB users, synthesizing insights into crisp problem statements and translating them into elegant, intuitive product experiences that abstract away technical complexity
Apply AI deeply and deliberately — Stay current with emerging LLMs, AI research, and industry trends; evaluate new capabilities (prompting strategies, fine-tuning, embeddings, retrieval pipelines, evals) and identify where they create genuine, durable product value
Drive cross-functional alignment — Rally engineers, designers, and stakeholders around shared goals with clarity and urgency, ensuring the team always knows what they’re building, why it matters, and what success looks like
Balance intuition with evidence — Use data, user feedback, and principled product judgment together — knowing when to run an experiment and when to just make the call
Shape how we build — Contribute to the evolution of Hatz AI’s product management practices, helping establish processes, frameworks, and culture that scale as the company grows
Prototype and iterate rapidly — Use modern design and prototyping tools to explore ideas quickly, communicate concepts visually, and collaborate fluidly in shared design environments
What We’re Looking For
Required:
4–6 years of product management experience or adjacent product-building experience (e.g., founding engineer with heavy product ownership, growth PM, or technical program management)
BA/BS in a technical, analytical, or related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience
Fluency with core AI/LLM concepts including prompting, fine-tuning, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and model evaluation — and the practical judgment to translate these capabilities into reliable, user-facing products
Proven ability to lead small, cross-functional teams toward ambitious goals with urgency and a strong bias toward action
Sharp prioritization instincts — comfort operating in environments where everything feels important and the ability to cut through noise to focus on what moves the needle
Proficiency with modern prototyping and collaboration tools (e.g., Figma, Notion, Linear, or equivalents)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills — including the ability to tell a clear, compelling story to engineers, executives, and customers alike
Preferred:
Hands-on experience building AI-powered products from 0→1 or scaling them through meaningful growth stages
Comfort in high-growth, fast-paced startup environments with frequent product releases and an appetite for iteration
“Vibe coding” familiarity — you’ve experimented with AI-assisted development tools or no-code/low-code environments to prototype ideas yourself
Experience in the MSP, IT services, or SMB software space — you understand the operational realities of these customers
Scrappy, resourceful, get-it-done energy — you don’t wait for permission or perfect conditions; you figure it out
What We Offer:
Compensation & Equity
Base salary
Meaningful equity participation
Work Model
Hybrid — New York City — with the flexibility and in-person collaboration that comes from being part of a tight-knit, co-located core team
Growth & Impact
A genuine seat at the table — this isn’t a role where you’re handed a backlog and told to run sprints; you’re shaping the product direction from the ground up
The opportunity to help define what great product management looks like at Hatz AI as we scale
Direct, daily exposure to frontier AI research and the applied challenges of bringing it to real users
Culture
A small, high-caliber team that moves fast, communicates directly, and takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously
An environment that rewards curiosity, ownership, and creative problem-solving
No bureaucracy — your ideas will be heard and acted on quickly
Additional benefits details (health, PTO, 401k, etc.) to be shared during the interview process.
