It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them. Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day. Product managers here are true product owners, responsible for discovery, execution, and delivery end to end. This is a chance to build at the frontier of AI and marketing and make an impact that bends the trajectory of the company. Profound Agents research, write, and publish content on behalf of marketing teams. The work they produce needs a home. We're building an AI-native content management system from the ground up, and this PM will define and own it. ## What You'll Do - Define the vision and roadmap for Profound's AI-native CMS, built specifically for the way agents and humans work together - Own how content is created, staged, reviewed, and published inside Profound, from the first agent draft to the moment it goes live - Work directly with customers to understand how their content workflows actually operate and translate that into product decisions - Partner with engineering and design to ship a CMS that sets a new bar for what AI-native content tooling can be - Be in front of customers every day to do discovery, get feedback, and validate what you're building ## Who You Are - 5 or more years of experience building excellent software products, ideally at a startup or fast-moving company - Deep understanding of how content workflows work: how teams create, review, approve, and publish at scale - Strong product fundamentals and the ability to go from zero to one on a new surface - Ability to lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity, create clarity, and push teams to ship - Willing to roll up your sleeves to help the team execute, whether that means writing specs, sitting on customer calls, or digging into a broken workflow in production - You play on offense, creating and running toward opportunities and injecting energy into places where there is none - Experience with agentic or AI-assisted workflows is a strong plus - Experience as a founder or building zero-to-one products is a plus Location This is an on-site role based in our NYC or SF office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact. For this role, the expected base salary range is $200,000 to $300,000 Profound's total compensation package is designed to be competitive and includes base salary, equity, and a full range of benefits and perks. Final compensation will depend on factors such as your skills, experience, qualifications, and location, and will be determined during the interview process.
