Staff Product Manager (AI Builder)

Role overview

Join Babylist as a Staff Product Manager (AI Builder). You will own a major surface of the consumer experience and set the standard for AI-native product development—driving strategy, quality, and impact while partnering with stakeholders across the company.

Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product management for a major consumer product surface, from strategy to execution.
• Establish high standards for product quality and craft, incorporating AI-native tools and workflows.
• Mentor and develop other Product Managers to improve team capability and organizational effectiveness.
• Lead cross-functional execution with clear communication and strong collaboration across teams.
• Drive commercial and customer outcomes by owning unit economics and defining success metrics.
• Make disciplined post-launch decisions (persist/pivot/stop) based on measurable results.
• Provide strategic foresight by defining the roadmap for 6, 12, and 18 months.

Requirements

• Proven product leadership with experience owning a major consumer product surface end-to-end at meaningful scale.
• Demonstrated ability to define product strategy and deliver measurable impact with cross-functional teams and exec-level stakeholders.
• Strong consumer experience expertise: understand users, co-create with them, and bring both qualitative and quantitative evidence.
• Ability to communicate with extreme clarity and encourage productive conflict to surface misalignment early.
• Commercial ownership: understand how the product monetizes and can defend unit economics with Finance and Data.
• Deep quality ownership: set the quality bar and send teams back for iteration without breaking trust.
• Outcome ownership: focus on impact (not shipping), hold accountability, and define success measures.
• Adaptability: thrive when priorities shift; actively choose change rather than resisting it.
• Technical fluency (e.g., CS background or developer experience) and ability to bridge product and build.

Nice-to-haves

• Prior senior product roles such as Senior PM, Staff PM, GPM, or Director.
• A builder-world background where the line between product and build was often blurred.
• Evidence of shipped work and projects you helped kill to demonstrate product judgment and taste.
