We automate the entire primary research workflow, from study design and expert recruitment through AI-moderated interviews and insight synthesis, replacing weeks of manual research with hours of high-signal output. Expert research is a broken industry dominated by legacy incumbents with expensive, manual, and slow services. Investment and corporate strategy teams spend hundreds of hours coordinating intermediaries, scheduling expert calls, and synthesizing insights across fragmented providers. Qualitate transforms this workflow by autonomously conducting expert discussions at scale using AI. Our AI Moderator interviews thousands of experts each month, capturing forward-looking purchasing plans, competitive displacement, and real-time ROI signals. The platform turns these interviews into quantified, time-series outputs tracking over 10,000 public and private companies, queryable instantly in natural language. Our customers include some of the world’s largest enterprises, hedge funds, PE firms, credit investors, and venture capital firms. ## The Role We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to own and scale Qualitate’s Workspace product: the shared research platform where teams bring together context, generate primary intelligence, and act on strategic opportunities. You’ll lead strategy, roadmap, and execution for Workspace while pursuing opportunities across the client application that help customers make stronger decisions faster. At Qualitate, we believe teams can execute measurably better research programs when their colleagues, context, and insights come together in one shared knowledge repository. You’ll make that vision tangible: help users frame a question, bring in what their organization already knows, capture new primary data, and analyze the findings with their team. Each research program should leave behind knowledge that makes the next one more valuable. Your mandate spans the Workspace experience and its adoption. You’ll make it seamless for users to find value, invite colleagues, contribute context, and build lasting research habits together. Success means teams repeatedly using Qualitate to conduct better research, reach decisions faster, and expand the platform’s role in their work. You’ve led consequential parts of a knowledge-intensive, collaborative workflow product and can point to measurable customer impact. You bring strong product craft, judgment about how AI fits into real work, and the ability to turn an ambitious vision into focused releases. What the Day-to-Day Looks Like - Own Workspace strategy and outcomes. Develop a deep understanding of how customers conduct research and make decisions. Choose the workflows and opportunities Qualitate should own, define success, and translate that strategy into an outcome-oriented roadmap. - Design collaboration around how our customers work. Understand how teams within enterprises, private equity firms, hedge funds, venture capital firms, and credit investment firms conduct knowledge-intensive work. Build experiences tailored to their workflows, roles, and handoffs, making it intuitive for colleagues to contribute context, evaluate evidence, and develop shared conclusions that inform strategic decisions. - Make knowledge easy to find and reuse. Partner with design and engineering on the organization, navigation, search, and sharing of research. Connect questions, sources, findings, and decisions so knowledge stays useful across people and projects. - Unlock new research through AI and shared context. Help teams identify gaps in what they know and capture new primary data and insights. Turn AI capabilities into useful, dependable workflows with clear expectations for accuracy, transparency, and user control. - Grow sustained team adoption. Connect individual value to teammate activation, recurring collaboration, retention, and expansion. Use customer research, product analytics, and experiments to identify friction and understand which experiences make teams return. - Ship with pace and care. Work closely with design, engineering, data science, research, and marketing to deliver focused improvements. Set a high bar for everyday interactions, make timely tradeoffs, and own rollout and iteration through demonstrated impact. Who This Role is For - You’ve owned a collaborative knowledge product. You bring at least five years of relevant product management experience, with meaningful ownership of a knowledge-intensive workspace, productivity tool, or collaborative workflow product. You’ve led strategy through launch and adoption, with measurable customer or business results. - You understand how teams work. You’ve designed experiences that help people contribute, coordinate, and build on each other’s knowledge. You can explain how your decisions changed team behavior and improved the underlying workflow. - You’ve turned product value into sustained adoption. You have demonstrated impact on activation, recurring team usage, retention, or expansion. You understand how invitations, sharing, and collaboration can drive product-led growth and can connect those mechanics to lasting customer value. - You make complex information feel approachable. You have exceptional product taste and experience simplifying sophisticated workflows. You can reason about information architecture, discovery, and reuse, and translate customer feedback into concrete behavior, prototypes, and acceptance criteria. - You bring sound AI product judgment. You understand how AI can help teams capture context, synthesize evidence, and carry out work, and how its limitations shape the experience. You use AI tools hands-on to research, prototype, analyze data, or build software. - You use evidence and judgment together. You are fluent in product analytics and experimentation, curious about how customers work, and commercially grounded. You can make clear recommendations with incomplete information and update your view as you learn. - You take ownership and create momentum. You work effectively with engineers on technical constraints and tradeoffs, communicate clearly, and handle disagreement directly. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and turn ambiguous opportunities into clear priorities and focused releases. What Sets You Apart - Experience scaling products known for exceptional craft, collaborative workflows, and strong product-led growth. - Experience shipping AI-native collaboration or knowledge experiences, including workflows where people and AI agents work together. - Technical fluency in APIs, data systems, integrations, permissions, or AI evaluation. - Experience with financial research, investment workflows, or building products on a small, early-stage team. What Success Looks Like - Teams reach useful answers faster. Customers bring relevant context into Qualitate and move from a strategic question to actionable findings with less effort. - Collaboration becomes a recurring habit. Invited colleagues actively contribute, review, and use research, and teams return across research cycles. - Knowledge and adoption compound. Teams reuse prior research, generate new primary insights, and expand their use of Workspace as it becomes more valuable to their work. ## Compensation & Benefits - Base salary: Competitive, based on experience. - Equity: Meaningful early-stage grant with upside tied to company growth. - Benefits: Health coverage, flexible PTO, and paid holidays. - Location: Full-time, in-person in New York City. What to Expect Working at Qualitate - Excellence. High standards for the quality of your work and the impact it creates. - High velocity. Fast decisions, frequent releases, and short feedback loops. - High agency. Ownership over how you work. We hire people we trust to figure things out. - A builder’s mindset. You’ll help create the products, processes, and systems that define how the company scales. - Shared ambition. A small, early team working to transform primary research with AI. - Joy. We work hard, enjoy working together, and care about building a collaborative team. Qualitate is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply. ## About Qualitate ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Qualitate is an AI-powered expert intelligence platform that automates primary research for investment firms and enterprises. - **Entity Type**: Private (seed stage; raised $7M) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Sagar Kadakia (CEO & Founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: AI-native primary research, expert networks, market intelligence - **Target customers**: B2B – investment firms (hedge funds, credit funds, private equity), financial services, and enterprise strategy teams - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Equipping every company with the world’s most valuable asset: expert intelligence.” ## Products & Services - **AI Moderator**: An AI agent that autonomously conducts structured interviews with verified experts, from study design to moderation and insight creation. - **Continuous Market Intelligence**: Dashboards that track company momentum, competitive threats, and market signals through 350,000+ minutes of expert conversations, analyst research, and curated data. - **AI Analyst**: An AI-powered assistant that can answer questions, generate executive briefings, and launch custom surveys across the intelligence library. - **Compliance Suite**: Automatic MNPI and PII screening, firm-level access controls, and a dedicated compliance portal for regulated environments. - **Custom Research (Diligence, Win/Loss, Channel Checks)**: On-demand, AI-facilitated primary studies delivered in under a week (typically 5 days). ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding – $7M seed round (announced in 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly named (listed only as “World-Class Investors”) - **Growth Signals**: - 25 employees as of mid-2025 with 12% monthly headcount growth (LinkedIn) - Proprietary data engine trained on 350,000+ minutes of expert discussions - Coverage of 500+ companies and 10,000+ technology markets - Trusted by “the world’s largest investment funds and corporations” ## Competitive Advantages - **Vertically integrated**: Owns the expert panel, moderation, and analysis stack – no third-party dependencies or handoff gaps. - **Proprietary data engine**: The AI moderator improves with every interview on the platform, creating a data moat that third-party networks cannot replicate. - **Compliance-first design**: Built for sensitive environments with automated screening and firm-level controls. - **Speed**: Custom research projects delivered in ~5 days versus the traditional multi-week timeline. ## Strategic Focus Qualitate is focused on replacing fragmented, multi-vendor primary research workflows with a single AI-native platform.
