About the Job

SuperSummary is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead strategic product initiatives from end to end — owning strategy, execution, and measurable outcomes in a fast-moving, AI-native product environment. This is a high-agency role for someone who can execute independently and collaborate extensively to deliver outsized results.

The ideal candidate combines strong product intuition with deep analytical rigor. You don't wait to be handed a well-scoped problem — you identify the highest-leverage questions, build conviction through research and analysis, and translate complex findings into clear direction for cross-functional teams.

We're looking for someone who brings genuine AI fluency to their craft — who has shipped AI-powered features, thinks creatively about what's now possible, and uses agentic tools to move faster independently. If you can take an ill-defined problem space and build a systematic, repeatable engine for delivering user and business value, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Product Manager, you will have significant strategic influence. You will develop and champion the product vision within your domain, working closely with the Head of Product and collaborating across product, design, engineering, content, and leadership. You will also optimize and maintain the operational standards for how the team experiments — ensuring design rigor, data quality, and implementation discipline across every initiative.

Product Strategy & Roadmap

• Own the strategic roadmap and OKRs for your product area, aligning efforts with company milestones and long-term business goals.
• Drive product strategy in close partnership with executive leadership, identifying and framing high-impact opportunities through user research, product analytics, and competitive analysis.
• Identify and champion net-new product concepts — synthesizing market signals, user research, and competitive landscape to generate ideas that open new growth vectors or meaningfully differentiate SuperSummary's offering.
• Make prioritization decisions and communicate trade-offs clearly to stakeholders, building influence across teams without relying on positional authority.
• Be accountable for delivering measurable returns from product investments, including impact on acquisition, conversion, retention, and lifetime value.

Data & Analytics

• Own product analytics (Amplitude, Google Analytics, Metabase) — define metrics, write queries, build dashboards, and surface insights that inform team-wide decisions.
• Design and execute rigorous experiments with sound methodology, clear success criteria, and well-documented results.

• Apply analytical competencies across growth loops, funnel and cohort analysis, churn and LTV optimization, and user behavior modeling to drive data-informed product decisions.
• Develop deep user empathy through regular qualitative research — interviews, usability sessions, and longitudinal engagement — and translate those insights into product direction.

Execution & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead cross-functional teams to identify and specify solutions to customer problems that are enriching, usable, feasible, and aligned with business objectives.
• Translate strategy into detailed requirements — leading Discovery, coordinating with design and engineering, and guiding work through development, QA, and release.
• Design and iterate on PLG loops that deliver core product value before the subscription ask — including activation flows, in-product engagement hooks, and conversion triggers that turn users into paying customers organically.
• Partner with product marketing to develop go-to-market strategy for new features and content types — defining positioning, launch sequencing, and success metrics, and owning post-launch iteration based on real-world performance.
• Proactively identify and size adjacent market opportunities, bringing structured business cases to leadership that inform roadmap and resourcing decisions.

AI & Technical Product Development

• Bring hands-on AI fluency to the role — you have direct experience building and shipping AI-powered product features, and you stay current on how these tools are evolving.
• Contribute to the research, development, and launch of AI-powered features, working directly with engineering to evaluate approaches and shape technical direction.
• Evaluate third-party tools, APIs, and AI models alongside internal build options — making principled recommendations that balance speed, cost, and long-term product control.
• Where applicable, leverage agentic tools to prototype, analyze, or automate parts of your own workflow, reducing dependency on engineering for exploratory work.

Sample Projects

• Identify and pilot a new feature aimed at product-led growth and virality — run Discovery, build an AI prototype, scope for design and engineering, run and analyze the experiment, and own GTM.
• Identify gaps in how the team measures product success, design new metrics frameworks, and build accompanying dashboards — then use those insights to sharpen prioritization and roadmap decisions.
• Conduct a comprehensive audit of the site's information architecture — synthesizing user research, behavioral data, and usability testing — and lead a cross-functional initiative to restructure and redesign the experience in ways that measurably improve engagement, discoverability, and conversion.
