Role
Who you are
- Product & Startup Experience – at least 3-5 years of technical product management experience building CRM or similar structured systems of record and managing features end-to-end through the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Experience at an early-stage startup B2B (Seed/Series A through B/C) is a plus
- Customer & Market Focus – Strong user-centric mindset, applying user-centered design principles and actively engaging stakeholders to gather insights and set direction
- Data-Driven & Adaptive Thinking – Ability to make data-driven decisions while embracing the uncertainty early-stage vertical B2B SaaS companies often face
- Problem-Solving & Communication – Skilled at navigating complexity, distilling key issues, and clearly communicating insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Business Sense & Continuous Improvement Mindset – Strong business intuition, problem-solving abilities, and a passion for innovation
What the job involves
- As part of the Proton Product team, we’re looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, experience building CRM or similar structured systems of record, and a passion for using AI to truly transform how distribution businesses work
- Reporting to the Head of Product, you’ll have the autonomy to own the strategy and execution of your squad—identifying problems, and building what matters most
- You thrive on both the strategic and the tactical—comfortable zooming out to integrate market and customer insight, but just as energized when you’re in the weeds, making sure the details are right
- We're hiring an experienced Product Manager with opportunities ranging from Product Manager to Principal Product Manager roles
- Work closely with customers to continuously learn the domain and gain deep insights into their needs through onsite visits, shadowing sessions, and virtual discovery calls
- Align stakeholders on a clear core squad vision, define v1 of features, and prioritize future enhancements in the roadmap
- Define core CRM features, breaking down complex problems into well-structured epics, features, and stories to ensure clarity, alignment, and high-quality execution throughout the SDLC while balancing customization with scalability
- Drive an agile approach by thinking big, delivering small, and continuously refining based on user feedback and performance data
- Aid in early implementation or enablement of new features with customer and internal stakeholders as required
Our take
With the increased migration to the digital world, sales teams are under mounting pressure. Proton.ai is one of a crop of new companies that solves this problem through automation.
The sales automation market is booming, and companies are having to specialize in order to survive. Proton.ai has carved out a successful niche by focusing its attention on wholesale distributors, a previously underserved corner of the sales sector. Proton.ai's tools help sales reps and their customers manage products across multiple channels.
By tapping into the lucrative wholesale market and working with (rather than against) incumbent enterprises, Proton.ai has scaled at an enviable pace. Its considerable funding will help the company to remain competitive, especially against the likes of Shopify, which has made a successful move into the wholesale eCommerce market.
