Job Description
The Role
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and working closely with the founding team, this role provides an opportunity to own and define Inception’s product direction. As the Head of Product Management, you'll synthesize customer needs, ecosystem trends, and breakthrough AI research into products that transform how millions of users work, create, and solve problems.
This role requires a leader who’s comfortable driving innovation in uncharted territory, where the very nature of what's possible with AI is being redefined every day.
The ideal candidate is a data‑driven, customer‑centric product builder who operates comfortably at the intersection of advanced AI research and pragmatic product delivery. They have shipped 0→1 products, scaled 1→N, and are credible with highly technical teams. They bring strong judgment in fast‑changing environments, communicate crisply with executives and partners, and can translate subtle user needs into instant‑speed experiences.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end product lifecycle from strategy through launch
- Conduct user research and analyze performance metrics specific to AI model behaviors and map these onto emerging use cases
- Lead cross‑functional execution across Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and Go-to-Market teams.
- Help design evaluation systems and live benchmarks to track and improve speed and quality in target use cases
- Set performance targets that connect model capabilities to user needs.
- Partner with early customers to prove value in target use cases and convert pilots into repeatable product bets.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of product management experience
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Extensive track record of driving product initiatives in rapidly changing technical landscapes and translating large and diverse sets of feature requests and feedback into product feature definitions
- Comfortable reading and writing code: able to prototype, explore APIs, and work closely with engineering teams
Preferred Experience
- Experience conducting user research and interviews
- Deep knowledge of LLMs at the modeling or application layer
- Experience working in a startup and scaling products from early stage to growth phase
