Product Manager

Amaze is a creator economy company dedicated to empowering creators to transform their audiences into businesses. They are seeking a senior Product Manager to oversee the creator-facing side of their platform, focusing on the new design system that aids creators in producing high-quality merchandise.

Responsibilities:

• Own creator-facing product initiatives end to end — from discovery and framing through delivery, launch, and iteration
• Lead the product direction for our new design system, defining how creators create, customize, and upload artwork for print-on-demand products
• Translate high-level goals into clear product plans, requirements, and phased execution — written directly by you, not handed off
• Work closely and daily with engineering on prioritization, technical tradeoffs, feasibility, and delivery. This is a true partnership, not a handoff relationship
• Run discovery efforts: creator interviews, internal research, funnel analysis, problem validation
• Manage and prioritize backlogs across multiple active initiatives without losing momentum on any of them
• Define success metrics and evaluate outcomes post-launch to drive iteration
• Communicate priorities, decisions, and tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders across product, engineering, design, and leadership
• Help build the product muscle at Amaze — this role has real influence on how we work, not just what we ship

Requirements:

• 8–10+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in a fast-moving, high-growth, or resource-constrained environment
• Proven generalist: you've owned complex, cross-functional problem spaces with minimal structure and made them work
• Strong balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution — you don't just set direction, you do the work
• Demonstrated experience taking products from discovery through delivery and iteration, with measurable outcomes
• Genuine technical fluency: you can hold your own in architecture conversations, understand tradeoffs, and earn the respect of strong engineering teams
• Excellent written communication. You can write a tight spec, a clear Slack message, and a compelling exec summary — and know when each is appropriate
• High agency, low ego. You make things happen without waiting for permission, and you're comfortable not having all the answers
• Track record of sustained follow-through on long, complex, or ambiguous initiatives. Resilience isn't a buzzword for you
• Experience in creator tools, design tooling, e-commerce, or print-on-demand is a meaningful plus — domain knowledge matters here
• AI fluency: you actively use AI in your product workflow (discovery, spec writing, analysis), not just as a talking point
• Strong preference will be given to candidates who are open to working out of our Costa Mesa, CA office at least 2 days a week
