• Coordinating dependencies and priorities across Product, Engineering, Design, Legal, and GTM for vendor‑backed features
• Leading launches and improvements that materially increase adoption and repeat usage of vibe coding applications
• Providing clear updates to leadership on roadmap progress, tradeoffs, and outcomes
• Acting as a product quality bar‑raiser, ensuring we ship cohesive experiences rather than disconnected capabilities

• A curiosity for keeping up with the latest AI trends
• Currently evolving into the Product Manager of the future by leveraging AI tooling and prototyping concepts
• Proven experience building products on top of third‑party platforms or vendor ecosystems
• Strong product intuition around experience design, workflow simplification, and usability, especially in creation tools
• Comfort partnering with engineering on integration constraints, API limitations, reliability, and scale
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when aligning cross‑functional teams
• Highly self‑directed, outcome‑oriented, and comfortable operating with senior‑level autonomy
• Ability to think strategically while staying close to real customer usage and feedback
• Experience defining and evolving template‑based or modular products is a strong plus
