Product Manager

Ajaia is an AI implementation consultancy and product studio that helps organizations achieve measurable returns from AI. The Product Manager will own products end to end by engaging users, prioritizing development, writing build-ready specifications, prototyping with AI tools, contributing directly to code and design, and measuring outcomes after launch.

What you'll do:

• Talk to users and customers every week. Not a quarterly survey. Real conversations, real usage
• Turn messy, sometimes contradictory signal, usage data, support tickets, sales requests, and what people say in interviews, into a ranked call on what gets built next
• Say plainly what does not get built, including a well-funded customer's request, when the evidence does not support it
• Write specs an engineer can build from without a follow-up meeting: the outcome, what is in and out of scope, where a human stays in the loop, and acceptance criteria someone could test
• Prototype the core flow yourself, wireframes, a clickable mock, or a working demo, when that settles the argument faster than a deck would
• Contribute to the code and the design directly: ship a small feature or fix with AI tools, mock the screen yourself, and hand engineers something running instead of something described
• Partner with the design team on what the solution should be and how it holds up for the people using it
• Partner with the delivery team and engineers on how the build runs and the date it ships by
• Present the roadmap and the tradeoffs to the people who fund it, including when a client or a salesperson is unhappy with the call
• Hold a priority decision under real pushback, or change it, and say why either way
• Ship it, then watch the number after launch and act on what it says

What they're looking for:

• * Highly organized across multiple priorities and open questions at once
• * Sharp judgment on what to build next, and clear about what not to build
• * Strong plain writing: specs and decisions other people can act on without a follow-up meeting
• * AI fluent: you use AI daily to sort signal, draft specs, and prototype, and you can tell good output from slop
• * Comfortable contributing to code and design directly, with AI tools making you faster at both
• * Comfortable holding a priority call under pushback, or changing it for stated reasons
• * 1 or more years in product management, or work that proves the same skill
• * On-site in New York
• * A bachelor's degree is preferred and is not a requirement
• * Experience with a B2B product used by an operational or compliance function
• * Comfort reading usage data or a support queue yourself
• * Exposure to a regulated industry such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, or legal

Benefits:

• A performance bonus of up to 100% of base salary
