About this role

Role Overview

Proton.ai is seeking a Product Manager to join its team in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a hybrid position based in the Harvard Square office three days a week. This opportunity suits a professional with at least two years of product experience who wants to own distinct product domains from initial discovery to active growth. Reporting to the VP of Product, the chosen candidate will guide a multi-functional squad bridging advanced artificial intelligence capabilities with practical wholesale distribution workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Take ambiguous problem spaces through discovery, definition, build, launch, adoption, and revenue.
Conduct onsite visits, user shadowing sessions, and discovery calls by meeting distributors directly in warehouses and sales floors.
Execute iterative development cycles by putting working software in front of actual users early and often.
Partner directly with engineering, design, and data science teams to build features and agentic workflows.
Manage alpha and beta testing, monitor adoption across the installed base, and troubleshoot bottlenecks.
Enable go-to-market teams by providing sales and customer success with necessary positioning, training, and customer call support.

Requirements

Minimum of 2 years of product management experience overseeing features from end to end through the software development lifecycle.
Practical agile background with the judgment to run tight, customer-centric feedback loops rather than strict release calendars.
Demonstrated experience collaborating alongside engineers and data scientists to deploy AI-centric features at scale.
Hands-on daily utilization of artificial intelligence tools like Claude Code or Cursor to ship actual work.
Strong customer-facing skills ranging from warehouse reps to enterprise vice presidents.
Analytical and adaptive mindset capable of navigating the uncertainties inherent in early-stage vertical B2B software.

Nice to Have

Previous work experience within early-stage startups ranging from Seed through Series B or C stages.
Background in complex business-to-business, enterprise, or enterprise resource planning-adjacent software with high-frequency workflows.
Familiarity with agentic products, human-agent trust patterns, correction mechanics, and handoff procedures.
Experience dealing with systems-of-record or integrations work involving messy real-world source data mapped to clean canonical models.

Skills and Tools

Artificial intelligence development tools and assistants like Claude Code and Cursor.
Agile methodologies, iterative software development cycles, and user feedback loops.
Cross-functional leadership spanning software engineering, design, and data science.
Data-driven analysis, problem distillation, and technical communication.
Go-to-market enablement and customer discovery techniques.

Salary and Benefits

Target annual salary range between $130,000 and $160,000, supplemented by a quarterly bonus and meaningful equity.
Company-sponsored 401(k) retirement program.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
Unlimited paid time off alongside 10 company-paid holidays.
12 weeks of fully paid parental leave applicable to primary and secondary caregivers, including adoption and fostering.
Professional development funding for books, courses, and conferences.
Access to advanced artificial intelligence productivity tools.
Annual company-paid team offsites.
