Lead Editor Product Manager

About the role

Join Descript as the Lead Product Manager for the Narrative Editing team. In this role, you will shape the future of video editing by developing innovative features that enhance the user experience. You will work closely with our AI Research team and have a direct impact on the product's success. Enjoy a range of benefits, including health coverage, retirement plans, flexible time off, parental leave, a home-office stipend, and annual off-site gatherings. Key missions: En tant que responsable de l'édition de produits, vous serez responsable de la manière dont les utilisateurs capturent, modifient et perfectionnent leurs histoires.. Développer une compréhension approfondie de nos clients, de leurs objectifs créatifs et de l'évolution du paysage vidéo AI, et utiliser ces informations pour guider la feuille de route de l'éditeur.. Assurer la fiabilité de Descript à l'échelle pour les équipes plus importantes et les flux de travail plus complexes. Profile: - You are a fog sculptor: There are aspects to our editor and its design that do not have real competitors yet. The product intuition and design conventions have not been decided. You are attracted to ambiguous problems, know how to ask smart questions, and translate ideas into action - You care about craft: Our product is not a hype machine that runs on empty promises and vaporware. We think our product will be successful because people love to use it. That means you sweat the details. But without the sweat, because you aren’t stressed out - You start with the customer: Plenty of “AI products” start with the technology and they all suck. You care deeply about understanding customers, and have experience in doing customer discovery and defining features that solve real problems - You’ve built deceptively powerful tools: You have 5 or more years of product management experience shipping creative tools or workflow products that feel simple enough for everyone, but scale to handle sophisticated use cases. You are a systems-minded product thinker who excels at designing intuitive experiences for complex, end-to-end workflows - You are funny, creative, maybe kind of weird: Ok, this isn’t a hard requirement but Descript is kind of a quirky place and the people who love it tend to like that about working here. So, just want to drop a hint early on - Also, the sense of humor is important because even though we take our work seriously it’s still just, like, video creation and editing. We aren’t flying rockets into space so let’s all have a good time
