Founding Product Manager

Company Description

calculi.ai is building next‑generation B2B SaaS products for Ecommerce companies powered by data and AI. We are a fast‑moving, early‑stage company focused on solving real customer problems with simple, elegant, and scalable solutions.

We are seeking a Founding Product Manager to own product‑market fit, lead go‑to‑market strategy and shape the overall product direction of the company.

Role Description

As Founding Product Manager, you will own the intersection of product strategy, product‑market fit, and go‑to‑market execution for our B2B SaaS product. This is a highly cross‑functional, hands‑on leadership role ideal for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and is excited to drive impact end‑to‑end — from discovery and strategy to launch, positioning, and adoption.

You will serve as the connective link between founders, engineering, design, marketing, sales, and customers — ensuring alignment between what we build, how we position it, and how it succeeds in the market.

What You’ll Do

Product Strategy & Product‑Market Fit

• Define and evolve a clear product vision, strategy, and high‑level roadmap aligned with business goals
• Drive product‑market fit through continuous customer discovery, validation, positioning, and iteration
• Identify and prioritize the right problems to solve by deeply understanding customer pain points — looking beyond stated asks to uncover root needs
• Define, track, and monitor success metrics and KPIs related to adoption, engagement, retention, and customer satisfaction

Go‑to‑Market, Positioning & Growth

• Own product positioning, messaging, and value propositions across target customer segments
• Develop and lead go‑to‑market strategies for new product offerings and major feature launches
• Manage early adopter programs, beta rollouts, and product experiments
• Work directly with customers to validate solutions, test positioning, and refine messaging
• Partner closely with marketing and sales to enable launches, campaigns, and customer acquisition

Product Leadership & Execution

• Provide product leadership across the end‑to‑end lifecycle — from discovery and definition to launch and post‑launch learning
• Guide prioritization across initiatives by balancing user value, market opportunity, business impact, and technical constraints
• Partner closely with engineering and design on planning, scope, sequencing, and delivery decisions
• Make thoughtful trade‑offs around scope, timing, and quality to deliver meaningful outcomes

Cross‑Functional Leadership

• Collaborate closely with Design, Engineering, Marketing, and Sales
• Ensure tight alignment between product strategy, customer needs, and go‑to‑market execution
• Act as a key thought partner to founders on product, growth, and company strategy

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Background

• 5+ years of experience in product management, or hybrid product leadership roles
• Experience working in a startup, SaaS company, or small team within a large tech organization
• Proven experience bringing new product offerings to market
• Experience with zero‑to‑one or early‑stage products is a strong plus
• Previous experience at AI‑centric or data‑centric companies is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree in STEM, Business or Marketing

Skills & Traits

• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate both strategically and hands‑on
• Deep curiosity about customers, markets, and how products create value
• Customer‑obsessed: you talk to customers frequently and understand how they make decisions and measure success
• Strong ability to synthesize customer insights into clear product direction and compelling messaging
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong interpersonal skills and a passion for building productive cross‑functional relationships

Benefits & Perks

• Base Salary Range: $110,000–$130,000 per year
• Early‑stage equity, offering significant upside as the company grows
• Group Health insurance and savings plan
• HSA covering eligible medical and dental expenses
