Role
Who you are
- We are an extremely passionate and ambitious team building a company designed to outlast our lifetime
- No matter the role or level, Spotans (our team members) share a common DNA, and we’re looking for more teammates who share the same high-performance mindset:
- Relentless Drive: You have extreme ambition and something to prove. Challenges fuels you. Building isn’t just what you do; it’s who you are
- Builder’s Mentality: You thrive on creating new solutions, not maintaining the status quo. If you've founded a company, been employee number 1 - 20, or have run a venture for over two years, we’re especially excited to meet you!
- High Hustle, High Humility: You combine high IQ with high EQ, a low ego, and an unyielding work ethic that pushes you to be among the best at what you do
- You are self-motivated and accountable. You excel with ownership and autonomy, producing high quality outcomes with minimal direction and oversight
- You are a balanced visionary.You contribute to strategy with an ability to see the big picture, while also appreciating details with a drive to make meaningful, hands-on contributions
- You are a humble expert.You bring strong expertise with staying open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. You focus on getting it right rather than being right
- You strive for next level. You’re ready to stretch your impact and influence and are ready to take on larger scale challenges and/or act as a mentor
- You may be a product manager, founder, technical product lead, forward-deployed engineer, solutions architect, or field CTO. The title matters less than the operating style
- Have built or led 0-to-1 B2B products in complex technical environments
- Are highly customer-centric and comfortable spending real time in the field with users, operators, and executives
- Are technically strong enough to reason about AI systems, video data, model limitations, false positives, platform architecture, and deployment constraints
- Have strong product judgment and can distinguish between a one-off customer request and a repeatable platform opportunity
- Communicate clearly and can turn ambiguous customer problems into crisp product requirements, launch plans, and business cases
- Bonus points for experience in computer vision, video AI, industrial AI, manufacturing, logistics, construction, retail operations, forward-deployed engineering, or founding / building a product from zero
- Want to define a new category of AI product, not manage one that already exists
- Are energized by ambiguity and find the pattern underneath bespoke customer requests
- Love being onsite with customers as much as you love being in a product review
- Want direct impact on revenue, product direction, and the long-term architecture of Spot AI’s agent platform
What the job involves
- Spot AI is hiring a Product Manager for AI Ops Assistant, a new product area that turns video into AI-powered operating assistants for the physical world
- These are not clean, well-defined problems. You will work with customers who have messy workflows, real operational stakes, and no patience for technology that does not deliver
- You are responsible for discovering the highest-value problems, building the platform that solves them repeatedly, and creating the motion that turns one-off POCs into scalable products
- The PMs who win here are not roadmap managers. They walk plant floors, earn trust with engineers and operators, and turn ambiguous customer problems into products that ship
- You do not need to be an ML researcher. But you should be technically fluent enough to reason about AI systems, video data, model quality, evaluation, false positives, deployment constraints, and platform architecture
- Spend significant time with customers, prospects, sales, solutions, and field teams to understand workflows, pain points, budgets, and success criteria
- Identify the highest-value use cases — not just what customers ask for, but what is actually worth building
- Turn bespoke one-off customer work into repeatable product capabilities that scale
- Identify the reusable primitives: agent templates, workflow configuration, reporting, evaluation tools, alerting, data models, and deployment playbooks
- Define a near-term roadmap that balances customer urgency, technical feasibility, repeatability, and revenue impact
- Create a clear path from customer discovery → paid POC → production rollout → scalable product motion
- Partner with sales, marketing, customer success, and solutions to define positioning, packaging, demo flows, pricing inputs, and proof points
- Build the playbooks that make AI Ops Assistant easy to sell, not just easy to use

Our take
Video intelligence is the process of analyzing real-time video footage with AI-driven computer vision to diagnose and solve problems. Whilst most businesses could benefit from such technology, it usually requires the expensive and disruptive installation of specialized camera equipment, and when combined with its complexity of use, this deters many potential users.
Spot AI develops an AI-driven video intelligence platform for businesses, offering software integrations for existing cameras and free-to-use high-resolution cameras. The platform allows all relevant parties to access videos securely and investigate them through AI-driven computer vision, preventing the need for time-consuming manual investigations and back-and-forth access dilemmas.
The largest challenge the company faces is the expensive nature of video intelligence, but Spot AI provides its technology either through integration with existing cameras or by providing its high-definition cameras for free. 2025 saw it release a breakthrough for the industry - the first remote video AI agents for physical security.
Along with offering 24/7 cloud storage to unlimited users with automated privacy compliance, these approaches show potential for the company to boost accessibility to video intelligence whilst making the technology easier to use, more effective, and less expensive. Substantial funding comes off the back of Spot AI's position as the fastest-growing video intelligence company, with 17 industries under its belt
