What You’ll Do As a Product Manager at Wednesday, you’ll lead 0-to-1 product development efforts for our clients — often founders or early product teams trying to build from scratch or unlock traction. This is not a classic delivery PM role. You’ll be responsible for shaping the product, not just shipping it. You’ll run discovery, define the roadmap, manage the delivery process, and communicate with clients on a near-daily basis. You’ll work closely with design and engineering leads to turn ideas into working software — especially in the context of AI-enabled products. Your Responsibilities Discovery & Product Strategy • Lead discovery workshops to unpack client goals, user pain points, and market realities. • Define product scope and user journeys before a single line of code is written. • Translate business problems into sharp product direction using frameworks like JTBD, opportunity trees, etc. Execution & Delivery • Create and prioritize backlogs, define success metrics, and run weekly sprints. • Manage trade-offs between scope, speed, and technical constraints — while still shipping value every sprint. • Facilitate agile rituals (standups, retros, sprint reviews) across cross-functional teams. Client Partnership • Act as the main point of contact for the client — building trust through clarity, responsiveness, and insight. • Push back when needed, guide conversations toward real outcomes, and help clients make tough decisions. Product Thinking • Ask hard questions: Do we need this feature? Does this solve a real user pain? Is this the fastest way to test the idea? • Turn ambiguous ideas into testable hypotheses, and back decisions with data when available. AI-Native Mindset • Be comfortable working with teams building AI-enabled products — from LLM-powered workflows to automation tools. • You don’t need to code models, but you must understand the possibilities and limitations of current AI tech. Requirements • 6+ years of product management experience, preferably within a digital services or consulting environment. • Proven track record of taking at least one product from concept to launch (0–1), ideally in a client-facing setting. • Strong communication skills with the ability to confidently engage with both technical teams and business stakeholders, including founders and engineers. • Demonstrated ability to translate abstract client objectives into actionable roadmaps and product deliverables. • Experience working on or adjacent to AI or data-driven products, with an understanding of their unique challenges and opportunities. • Exceptional organizational skills with a strong grasp of scope, budgeting, and timeline management, while maintaining strategic oversight. • Proficiency with modern product and collaboration tools such as JIRA, Notion, and Figma. Benefits • Creative Freedom: A culture that empowers you to innovate and take bold product decisions for client projects. • Comprehensive Healthcare: Extensive health coverage for you and your family. • Tailored Growth Plans: Personalized professional development programs to help you achieve your career aspirations.
