Senior Product Manager - Roadmap & Strategy

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.

Responsibilities :

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Turn ambiguous ideas into testable hypotheses, and back decisions with data when available.

- 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 :

- 4-6 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 products and collaboration tools such as JIRA, Notion, and Figma
