Vendr is transforming how companies buy software with its AI negotiation platform. They are seeking a Sr. Product Manager who is AI native and has experience in building software, to oversee critical parts of their customer-facing platform and internal tools, ensuring a seamless user experience and efficient workflows.
Responsibilities:
- Customer experience: The interface where customers submit negotiations, track deals, and interact with Ruth
- Agent workflows: How Ruth collects information, generates strategies, and executes negotiations
- Internal tooling: You'll use RuthRadar, our homegrown PM tool that ingests customer calls, extracts feature requests using AI, and manages our product pipeline—all built on MCP (Model Context Protocol). You'll help evolve it as you use it
- Quality bar: Details matter. You'll catch the edge cases, inconsistent states, and UX paper cuts that erode trust
Requirements:
- You've led the building of software
- You have taste in design—you notice when spacing is off, when interactions feel sluggish, when copy doesn't land
- You can read a codebase and understand what's happening
- Our stack is React-based (Remix, Next.js) and you're comfortable in that world
- AI tools are part of your daily workflow, not a novelty
- You've built things with LLMs—agents, automations, or products
- You understand prompting, context windows, and why AI products feel different to build
- You're excited that our engineering team uses Claude Code and ships features in hours that used to take weeks
- You thrive when engineers are moving faster than the spec
- You make decisions quickly with incomplete information
- You write requirements that are clear enough to build from, not 40-page PRDs
- You're in Slack, in Figma, in the code—wherever you need to be to keep things moving
- You notice inconsistencies others miss
- You test edge cases before QA does
- You care about the craft of the product, not just shipping features
