# Founding Product Manager - Company: [Crucibl]() - Location: San Francisco, CA - Remote: Yes - Team: Outcomes - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: August 12, 2026 ## Job description **Why Crucibl** Management consulting is a $400B industry built on selling intelligence-for-hire. The model is breaking - not slowly, but now. The biggest frontier in enterprise AI isn't better models. It's judgment at scale: taking the messy, ambiguous decisions that run 85% of the global economy and making them faster, crisper, and more defensible. Crucibl is building that. We're profitable, growing fast, and delivering for Fortune 500 clients. We raised a $10M seed from Tier 1 VCs - then kept growing on revenue. The client pipeline is full. We're scaling to meet it. ## The Role You've shipped products that mattered — not just shipped features, but made the calls on what to build, why, and for whom. Now imagine doing that with a live Fortune 500 client pipeline giving you daily, high-stakes signal on what the product needs to become. This is not a traditional PM role at a company still guessing at product-market fit. You'll sit at the intersection of client delivery and product strategy — turning what strategists learn in the field into a roadmap that ships fast, and turning what engineering builds into leverage that changes what delivery can promise clients. ## Why Join Now * The hardest part is done — we have real revenue, Fortune 500 clients, and a clear wedge into a massive market. You're joining to scale a winning hand, not to place a bet. * Do the work you love, translating ambiguous problems into shipped product, without the parts you don't (bureaucracy, roadmap theater, distance from the customer) * Shape a category — you're not managing one feature of an established product, you're defining what "AI-native strategy consulting" even means * Work directly with founders — ex-Google and ex-KKR & ex-BCG who understand both the craft and the technology * Outsized equity and ownership in a company that's already generating revenue and growing fast ## What You'll Do * **Product Strategy:** Own the roadmap for our AI agent platform, prioritizing against real client engagements rather than hypothetical use cases * **Client Signal Translation:** Work directly with strategists and clients to turn delivery pain points and "we wish it could also do X" moments into concrete product requirements * **Cross-Functional Leadership:** Partner daily with engineering to scope, sequence, and ship — you're close enough to the work to make fast calls, not just write tickets * **Agent Design:** Define how our AI agents structure ambiguous business problems, execute analysis, and present recommendations — the product is the analytical framework, not just the interface * **Metrics & Iteration:** Define what "good" looks like for an AI-delivered engagement and build the feedback loops to get there faster each time * **Domain Depth:** Build real expertise in verticals like CPG, healthcare, financial services, or industrials, so your product decisions reflect what actually matters to clients in each space ## You Might Be a Great Fit If **You have the product pedigree.** * 3–7 years in product management, ideally at a company where product decisions had direct, high-stakes business consequences * Shipped end-to-end, not just supported — you've owned a roadmap, made prioritization calls, and lived with the outcomes * Experience with AI/ML products, data-heavy products, or enterprise B2B software a strong plus **You want to build in the field, not from a spec doc.** * You want your roadmap shaped by real client conversations, not just a backlog of requests * You're excited about AI and genuinely curious how these systems reason and fail — you don't need to write the model code, but you should want to understand it * You want a company where your judgment changes the product, not just the release notes **You thrive in ambiguity.** * You take vague, high-stakes business problems and turn them into concrete product bets * You make progress without waiting for perfect information * You communicate proactively — with engineers when scope needs to shift, and with delivery teams when you spot a pattern worth building for * Bias toward shipping over endless discovery **You're an exceptional communicator.** * You can turn client and delivery feedback into a crisp, prioritized narrative that engineering can act on * Your written specs are clear, structured, and decision-ready * You build trust quickly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders ## ### **Who You'll Work With** Our founders bring deep technology experience (Google-scale systems serving hundreds of millions of users) and domain expertise in high-stakes business decisions from top consulting and private equity firms. You'll be the connective tissue between these worlds, and between the company we are today and the company we're becoming. **Benefits & Perks** * *Zero to Outcome:* Seed stage means you shape the product, the culture, and the trajectory - not inherit them. * *See Your Work Matter:* No abstractions, no layers - you'll see exactly what you built and what it changed. * *The People Around You:* A small, elite team that will raise your game. We hire for exceptional, not just experienced. * *Meaningful Equity:* Every offer includes a comprehensive salary and equity package. * *Hybrid Schedule:* 3 days in-office with real flexibility around the rest. We care about output, not optics. * *Full Health Coverage:* Medical, dental, and vision. * *Daily Lunch & Snacks:* Fueled and focused, on us. **Work Authorization** Crucibl welcomes applications from candidates requiring visa sponsorship. Sponsorship eligibility is determined during the interview process. *Crucibl is an equal-opportunity employer. We hire on merit and outcomes, and welcome applicants of every background.* ## Apply [Apply on Crucibl]() Canonical job page:
