Role Overview
As Product Manager, you will own the business and tenant activation and product line usage end to end. Your mandate is simple: turn more sign ups into active users, and more active users into habitual customers.
You will identify friction, design nudges, prioritize experiments, and work closely with engineering, growth, and ops to move key metrics. You will operate with imperfect data, competing priorities, and high velocity.
Your mission: increase conversion, accelerate activation, and build repeat usage loops that drive measurable business outcomes.
What You'll Do
Activation & Conversion
- Define and optimize the user and business onboarding journey across touchpoints
- Identify friction in the funnel and design features and nudges that increase signup to activation conversion
- Set and own key metrics (e.g., activation rate, time to first order, repeat order rate) and move them with measurable experiments
- Lead rapid A/B tests, prototypes, and product experiments to validate hypotheses
- Prioritize high-impact opportunities and ship small, iterative releases
- Learn fast, adapt, and evolve product solutions based on results
Data-Driven Decision Making
- Interpret user behavior data and imperfect signals to inform product direction
- Define baseline metrics, build dashboards, and troubleshoot data quality challenges
- Use product analytics and ML insights to guide prioritization and optimization
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Partner with engineering, design, growth, and customer success to deliver solutions end to end
- Translate product strategy into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and deliverables
- Represent the product vision to stakeholders and leadership with clarity and conviction
- Communicate clearly on tradeoffs, results, and next steps
Use AI to move faster
- Leverage AI to generate hypotheses, analyze behavior patterns, and prioritize experiments
- Build lightweight workflows that reduce manual analysis and increase product velocity
- Continuously explore tools that accelerate shipping and insight generation
Work through ambiguity
- Make decisions with incomplete or imperfect data
- Balance short term wins with longer term product foundations
- Navigate competing priorities across teams without losing focus on impact

Experience building habit forming products
Experience with analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel/Amplitude/PostHog/GA) or SQL is a plus
Deep curiosity about AI and practical use of AI in day to day product work
What Success Looks Like (First 60 to 90 Days)
You have a clear view of the activation and usage funnel with baseline metrics
You have shipped multiple experiments that target signup conversion or first order rate
At least 1 key activation or usage KPI shows measurable improvement
The team sees you as decisive, data informed, and execution focused
