Staff Product Manager - AI FDE

Sanity

At Sanity.io, we're building the future of AI-powered Content Operations. Our AI Content Operating System gives teams the freedom to model, create, and automate content the way their business works, accelerating digital development and supercharging content operations efficiency. Companies like SKIMS, Figma, Riot Games, Anthropic, COMPLEX, Nordstrom, and Morningbrew are using Sanity to power and automate their content operations. In this role, you will be responsible for driving the product vision of Content Agent and working closely with your engineering team and the wider business to deliver a reliable, extensible AI operations experience for our customers. Content Agent works across Sanity's Dashboard, Studio, Slack, and as a headless API — giving content teams the ability to operate at scale through conversation, automation, and agent-driven workflows. A critical part of this role is the craft of building for agents: designing cognitive architectures, writing agent instructions, and shaping how AI systems reason about structured content. This is not a role where AI is a feature you manage — it is the product, and you need to understand how it thinks. WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING: * Craft the vision and roadmap for Content Agent — Sanity's AI operations layer for content at scale * Design agent behaviors and define how agents decompose complex content operations, handle ambiguity, and earn user trust * Define and evolve the trust and quality model — staged changes, review flows, error rates, and cost efficiency * Drive the extensibility strategy, enabling customers and partners to extend the agent through tools, skills, and integrations * Write and refine agent instructions, system prompts, and behavioral specifications as core product work * Collaborate with leaders across engineering, design, and solution engineering to shape your product solutions * Bring clarity and simplicity to complex AI systems, delivering reliable and intuitive experiences for content teams * Measure and monitor agent effectiveness, building feedback loops and metrics to improve quality systematically * Coordinate across teams to manage dependencies and align Content Agent with the broader Sanity platform ABOUT YOU: * Located in London or Oslo * You have a proven track record as a product manager, with experience working with platforms, data-oriented products, and developer frameworks * You have real experience with AI agents and LLM-based systems — cognitive architecture, prompt engineering, agent instruction design, and reliability patterns. You've shipped AI products where you had to think about how the system reasons, not just what it outputs * You are comfortable with JSON, API design, and technical product development * You understand structured content or can learn it quickly — schemas, references, validation rules, and how they shape what an agent can do * You place client empathy at the forefront of your work, understanding the challenges and needs of content teams and large enterprises * You communicate clearly, advocate for customer needs, and lead cross-functional teams towards innovative solutions * You balance immediate needs with long-term vision to strategically prioritize your domain WHAT WE CAN OFFER: * A highly-skilled, inspiring, and supportive team * Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth * A global, multi-culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers * Comprehensive health plans and perks * A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs * Competitive stock options program and location-based salary WHO WE ARE: Sanity.io is a modern, flexible content operating system that replaces rigid legacy content management systems. One of our big differentiators is treating content as data so that it can be stored in a single source of truth, but seamlessly adapted and personalized for any channel without extra effort. Forward-thinking companies choose Sanity because they can create tailored content authoring experiences, customized workflows, and content models that reflect their business. Sanity recently raised a $85m Series C led by GP Bullhound and is also backed by leading investors like ICONIQ Growth, Threshold Ventures, Heavybit and Shopify, as well as founders of companies like Vercel, WPEngine, Twitter, Mux, Netlify and Heroku. This funding round has put Sanity in a strong position for accelerated growth in the coming years. You can only build a great company with a great culture. Sanity is a 200+ person company with highly committed and ambitious people. We are pioneers, we exist for our customers, we are hel ved, and we love type two fun! Read more about our values here! Sanity.io pledges to be an organization that reflects the globally diverse audience that our product serves. We believe that in addition to hiring the best talent, a diversity of perspectives, ideas, and cultures leads to the creation of better products and services. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, or gender identity.

Paddle

What do we do? Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.  We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 6000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.  The Role:   We are looking for an exceptional Staff Product Manager to lead our flagship Checkout experience – the most strategically critical, highest-visibility product surface at Paddle. Every dollar our customers earn flows through Checkout. This is a massive-scale engine: we handle ~10 million sessions a month, processing $180M+ in monthly payments across a global network of 10,000+ sellers. The decisions made here directly move the needle on conversion, revenue, and customer trust. This is the toughest product role at Paddle, and we're looking for someone who is energised by that. You will own the Checkout product end-to-end: its strategy, its roadmap, its performance, and its commercial outcomes. You'll operate as the senior product voice in the room with our executive team, engineering leaders, and largest customers, and you'll be expected to set the bar – not just for what we ship, but for how the wider product org makes decisions, runs discovery, and uses data. You'll work in a trio with a strong engineering lead and an experienced product designer, with daily exposure to Sales, Solutions, Customer Success, Risk, Finance, and Exco. Given the cross-functional intensity of the work, this role requires regular in-person collaboration with the Checkout team and the wider Payments group. This is an opportunity for a staff-level operator who wants to own a product that genuinely matters – one with hard technical problems, real commercial stakes, and the platform to influence company strategy. What you'll do:  Strategy & Roadmap Ownership: * Own the long-term vision and strategy for Checkout, grounded in market trends, payments innovation, customer needs, and Paddle's commercial goals. Translate this into a roadmap you can defend at Exco and to customers. * Make – and stand behind – the tough prioritisation calls. Navigate ambiguous, multi-stakeholder trade-offs where the "right" answer requires deep judgement across technical constraints, commercial impact, compliance, and UX. * Set the bar for discovery and prioritisation across the wider Payments group; coach other PMs on how to do this well. Product Development & Delivery: * Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-faceted initiatives without needing oversight. Define and enforce the delivery standards (discovery, specs, experimentation, launch quality) that the rest of the product team operates against. * Work in a tight trio with engineering and design to ship fast, instrument well, and iterate based on real customer signal. Use AI tooling to compress the loop from idea to spec to prototype – we expect ideas to be testable in days, not weeks. * Run a continuous programme of optimisation – A/B tests, beta programmes, usability research – to compound conversion and UX gains across a high-volume, consumer-facing surface. Data, Metrics & Commercial Impact: * Own the KPIs that matter for Checkout (conversion, authorisation rates, revenue impact, NPS, etc.) and weave them into the strategic narrative for the business. * Dive into data independently. We don't expect you to wait for an analyst; we expect you to pull the numbers (with AI help where it accelerates you), form a hypothesis, and bring a recommendation. * Use product data to influence business strategy beyond your immediate roadmap – pricing, GTM, risk policy, settlement, etc. Stakeholder Management & Storytelling: * Align senior stakeholders – including Exco, Sales leadership, and key customers – around the Checkout strategy. Tailor the message, never the substance. * Craft compelling written narratives. At staff level we expect your docs to be the artefact that drives decisions, not a deck or a meeting. * Be a credible technical partner to engineering on complex payments, integrations, and platform decisions. GTM & Customer Proximity: * Oversee GTM for Checkout launches across multiple customer segments and geographies, working with Marketing, Sales, Solutions, and Support. * Shape the customer-centric culture of the team – consistently in front of customers yourself, and building the processes that keep the rest of the team close to them too. We'd love to hear from you if you: * You're used to owning a high-stakes, high-complexity product end-to-end with clear, measurable business impact – or you're a senior PM who is unambiguously operating beyond your title. * You have specific, hands-on experience with payments, checkout, or comparable consumer-facing fintech experiences at scale. You understand auth rates, 3DS, SCA, PSP economics, fraud trade-offs, etc. * You've worked on high-volume, consumer-facing products where small UX or technical changes have outsized commercial impact, and you can talk through specific wins you've owned. * You're technically credible – comfortable in the details with engineers, able to reason about systems, APIs, and trade-offs without needing them to translate. * You're data-fluent and metrics-led. You don't believe a thing until you've seen the numbers, and you can run your own analysis end-to-end. * You use AI as a daily force multiplier – for research, writing, analysis, and building functional prototypes – and can show specific examples of how it's changed the quality and speed of your output. You'll be working alongside engineers and designers who are pushing the same boundary. * You've built and shipped in scale-up or startup environments, including zero-to-one work. You're at home with ambiguity, not blocked by it. * You're an outstanding written and verbal communicator – English is your primary working language, and your writing changes minds. * You're comfortable managing hard trade-offs across customers, Sales, Engineering, Compliance, and Exco – and you stay constructive when the room is tense. * You value regular, in-person collaboration with your team and wider stakeholders – this role isn't a fit for fully remote working.

Tessl

Tessl is a fast-growing Series A startup based in London, founded by Guy Podjarny. We’ve raised over $100M from world-class investors including Index Ventures, Accel, GV, and Boldstart, and in 2025 we were ranked #2 in Sifted EU’s B2B SaaS Rising 100 and #20 in Sifted's AI 100. At Tessl, we are building the context layer for AI coding agents, and a platform for AI-native software development. As an early member of the team, you’ll help shape how we build, scale and support a company operating at the edge of AI and software development. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a Member of Product Staff — a senior, hands-on product manager who can own ambiguous, high-stakes problems end to end and help define how product is practised as the team grows. This is a generalist role. The patterns for how developers work with AI agents are still forming, and you'll have a direct hand in shaping them across the product — from the CLI and core platform to the new bets we'll place as we expand. Much of the work is 0-to-1: you'll shape product direction amid genuine ambiguity, translate fast-moving model and research breakthroughs into experiences developers trust, and decide what's worth building when there's no settled playbook. We also expect this person to be building a genuinely AI-native product practice: using the best available tools to think more clearly, move faster, and raise the quality of the work. We're not looking for someone who uses AI occasionally — we want someone actively developing how they work with it, and setting the standard for the team. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON * Own product areas end to end. Take problems from early concept through discovery, definition, launch, and iteration — setting priorities for a cross-functional team and making the calls on what matters most. * Develop deep product sense for developer workflows. Spend real time with developers and engineering teams to understand how they think, where they struggle, and where AI creates the most leverage. Turn those observations into specific, well-reasoned product decisions. * Translate frontier capability into product. Partner closely with engineering and research to turn new model capabilities and agentic breakthroughs into reliable, high-value developer experiences. * Shape strategy, not just execute it. Bring a clear point of view to roadmap and direction. You'll be in the room for strategy conversations and expected to help shape outcomes, not just respond to decisions already made. * Lead through influence. Act as the connective tissue between engineering, design, research, GTM and leadership — and as a credible voice with customers. Keep a globally-minded, fast-moving team rowing in the same direction. * Maintain a high quality bar at speed. Ship quickly without losing rigour, and hold the line on quality and developer trust even when the product is changing fast. * Build an AI-native product process. Define which tools and workflows raise quality and pace, share what you learn, and help set how product gets done at Tessl. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Experience: Roughly 6+ years in product management (or equivalent), with a track record of shipping real, technically demanding products end to end. Comfortable operating at a senior IC level with significant autonomy. * Product sense & judgment: Strong instincts for what to build and why, backed by good business judgment and the ability to reason clearly under ambiguity and incomplete information. * Technical fluency: A track record of building for technically sophisticated users — developers, engineers, or data professionals. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be genuinely curious about how the systems you build for actually work, and able to partner with research and engineering at a technical level. * 0-to-1 instinct: Comfortable shaping direction where there's no settled product, market, or process. You're drawn to ambiguity rather than unsettled by it. * Collaboration & communication: Excellent communicator who can align and influence engineers, designers, researchers and leaders who think differently to you. Confident enough to hold a point of view, flexible enough to run with the best idea wherever it comes from. * Domain experience (a plus): Developer tools, AI/ML applications, or productivity infrastructure. Exposure to CLI tooling, agentic workflows, or evaluation systems is a genuine advantage. We don't have all the answers yet. This is a role where you'll help define new patterns, work at the edge of what's known, and shape how product is practised at a company still figuring things out in the best possible way. If that excites you, and you feel you'd be a strong fit even if you don't meet every criterion listed, we'd encourage you to apply. SALARY AND BENEFITS Office: Our brand new 10,000 sq. ft office is in the AI hub of Kings Cross, London. We have generous catering and regular social events such as team lunches, drinks and more. We require all staff to be in our London HQ at least 3 days a week on our anchor days of Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Salary: We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience and skills and employee share options, benchmarked against industry standards. Benefits: 25 days holiday, health insurance, including dental and vision, which extends to partners and dependents, as well as a company-matched pension. We also provide a commuting stipend for those who live outside London, and a cycle to work scheme. APPLICATION PROCESS 1. Screening call 2. Case study presentation (with the hiring panel) 3. Final round — cross-functional collaboration, leadership, and a hands-on PM workshop 4. Leadership Chat We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’re building at Tessl and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
