Product Manager ( Tier 1 University)

About Writesonic

We're making Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as essential as SEO. Our platform helps brands track and improve their visibility across AI search platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

We're YC-backed, profitable, and competing in a market where AI discovery is exploding with customers like Amazon, Unilever, Acer, PayTM, Mama Earth, and more.

About the Role

We're looking for an AI Product Manager who builds, not just specs.

This is not a traditional PM role. You won't write requirements and wait for designers or developers to pick them up. You'll use Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools to prototype working solutions yourself. You'll ship fast, learn from users, and iterate.

What You'll Do

Product Discovery & Strategy

Own the roadmap for core organic growth platform features

Run continuous discovery: user interviews, data analysis, competitor research

Identify gaps and opportunities before they're obvious

Make prioritization calls based on user impact and business value

Build & Ship

Prototype working solutions using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Replit)

Work with engineers to refine and ship production-ready features

Move from idea to testable prototype in hours, not weeks

Maintain a high quality bar while moving fast

Research & Competitive Intelligence

Track competitors obsessively: new features, positioning, pricing moves

Stay ahead of AI search platform changes (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI)

Synthesize trends into actionable product insights

Share intelligence across the team regularly

Data & Optimization

Live in product analytics tools daily (Amplitude, Mixpanel, or similar)

Define and track key KPIs for your features

Run experiments and measure impact

Use data to kill features that aren't working

UX & User Advocacy

Think from the user's standpoint, not the PM's

Obsess over friction points and edge cases

Push for simplicity and clarity in every interaction

Test with real users early and often

Cross-Functional Work

Partner with engineering, design, marketing, and sales

Support launches with positioning and enablement materials

Connect customer feedback to product decisions

Jump in wherever needed

*The Profile We're Looking For: *

You prototype solutions, not just document requirements

You use AI tools to move at 10x speed

You have enough engineering background to be dangerous

Obsessed with competitors and market shifts

Balances speed with quality

Takes ownership of outcomes, not just outputs

Must-Haves

3+ years in product at a fast-moving startup (AI company preferred)

Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar)

Some software engineering background (you can read and write code)

Strong UX instincts: you think like a user

Data-driven: you use analytics tools daily, not weekly

High ownership: you see problems and fix them without being asked

Taste: you know what good looks like

AI Fluency (Non-Negotiable)

Power user of Claude Code, Cursor, or similar for daily work

Already using AI coding tools to prototype and build

Comfortable learning new AI tools in days, not months

Treats AI as how you work, not an add-on
