Product Manager, New Features

Usable Machines is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make AI accessible to all.

We are looking for a PM to explore a new product opportunity related to our human-centered AI product. As the PM leading this area, you will be responsible for working with the research team to understand the gaps in how people use our product today. You will flesh out and refine the overall product hypothesis, and validate this hypothesis with customers. You will also be responsible for iterating on the implementation until we have a product that customers truly love.

You will become an expert in how the average enterprise works today, as well as some of the unaddressed needs of their existing workflows, and you will bring that learning back to the team. You will advocate for big changes and additions to our core product that have the potential to change how the industry works in the future.

This is a full time role based in Los Angeles.

What you'll do at Usable Machines:

• Along with leadership, help develop and build alignment around a product strategy for a new product opportunity.
• Along with research, you will do many rounds of in-depth customer research to validate and refine the product idea.
• Work with design to determine how to best integrate this product idea into the core offering.
• Help your team do all the things you’d expect from a PM org, like driving planning and prioritization, defining and tracking key metrics, collaborating on marketing, messaging, positioning, and go-to-market plans

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience with the ambiguity associated with 0 to 1 projects.
• Can take customer learnings and turn them into a cohesive product vision and drive internal alignment.
• Can think about systems-oriented solutions to complex authoring problems.
• Have deep user empathy and are able to understand complex product spaces.
• Have a design, AI, or psychology background, or if you have a love of tools in general.
• Love creating the environment for a happy, successful team.
• Are unafraid to do whatever it takes to make your team successful, whether that’s sweating the small details, doing IC work, or going back and forth with execs to find the right way forward.
• Have an affinity for the fast-paced, changing environment of a start-up, a sense of humor and get-it-done personality

At Usable Machines, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
