Founding Product Manager

Job summary

Responsibilities

This is Dust's first PM hire. You'll work closely with the product team, turning raw GTM signal, company priorities, and user feedback into well-formed problems the team can act on.

• A lot of product signal doesn't reach the team in an actionable shape today. You'll create and run the process that connects signal to shaping to prioritization.
• Implementing company strategies across functions requires ownership and orchestration. You'll translate company priorities into an intelligible, trackable set of product…
• You'll enrich prioritized projects with distilled business and user context and market perspective so that the people building them make better decisions.
• Qualify and synthesize feedback: Sit at the intersection of GTM, users, and product. Turn high-volume, unstructured input into a small set of well-framed problems worth solving.
• Shape initiatives: Work with engineers and designers to translate validated problems into initiatives ready for Stack Rank — with clear objectives, KPIs, and scope.

What they're looking for

• Founding PM mentality: Senior individual contributor and builder balancing capacity to build the practice in the company while being hands-on.
• 5–8+ years of product experience, including time at an early-stage company where you had to build process from scratch.
• Genuine product taste. You know great from good in the world of tech products, and you bring deep perspective, judgment and conviction to any preferences you voice.
• Excellent information synthesis skills, distilling a messy pile of customer feedback, sales calls, and Slack threads into sharp problems.
• Technical proficiency earn the respect of engineers. You don't need to code, but you understand systems and tradeoffs easily deeply.
