Role
Who you are
- The candidate has a unique combination of experience in building AI or data products and experience working intimately with core customers to discover, define, build, deploy high impact features and functionality
- This person will also be equally excited in supporting early implementations as they are in being able to zoom out to incorporate market and customer feedback to iteratively improve the product over time
- Product & Startup Experience – at least 3-5 years of product management experience managing features end-to-end through the SDLC. Working at an early-stage startup (Seed/Series A through B or 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
- Technical & AI Collaboration – Prior experience working with data scientists to build and deploy AI/ML models at scale
- 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, iteration, and AI excellence
What the job involves
- Proton is looking for a Product Manager to join our fast-growing team
- Reporting directly to our Head of Product, the Product Manager will lead a multi-functional AI squad
- Work closely with customers to learn the domain and gain deep insights into their needs through onsite visits, shadowing sessions, and virtual discovery calls
- Align stakeholders on a clear AI squad vision, define initial AI feature iterations, and prioritize future enhancements in the roadmap
- Define and prioritize AI/ML 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
- Collaborate with engineering, design, and data science teams to build, test, and deploy models while ensuring the surrounding UX enables users to fully leverage and act on the insights
- 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.
