Product Manager, Core Product
Profound is the marketing platform for the age of AI search. The way brands reach people is being rewritten - AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode are now the answer layer between companies and their customers. We built the platform marketers use to understand, measure, and win in that world: the analytics, intelligence, and agent automation that turn AI search from a threat into a competitive advantage.
We went from 0 to a $1B valuation in 18 months. Revenue grew 100x last year. Our customers include Ramp, Figma, Spotify, Nike, Apple, AWS, Reddit, and JPMC. We are backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, LSVP, and Khosla Ventures - and we are moving fast enough that the people joining now are building the playbook everyone who comes after them will run.
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.
We're hiring across several product areas: analytics tools that help marketing teams understand their brand's performance on answer engines, an agent platform where marketers build and orchestrate agents to execute strategies and automate operations, and vertical solutions built for new use cases and strategic customer segments. As a Product Manager on the Core Product team, you'll own one of these areas end to end: driving strategy, shaping the product, and delivering outcomes that matter to customers and the business.
What You'll Do
Craft the strategy and drive execution for one of Profound's core product areas: Answer Engine Insights, Agent Analytics, and Prompt Volumes; the agent platform including background agents, the agent builder, and projects; or vertical solutions across Shopping, Ads, self-serve, and agency workflows
Define how customers measure, understand, and improve their brand's performance across AI-powered answer engines: from prompt monitoring and competitive benchmarking to agent-driven automation and vertical-specific workflows
Expedite execution across engineering, design, data, and marketing by creating clarity, making decisions, and managing scope
Optimize the team for velocity and quality shots on goal
Be in front of customers every day to do discovery, get feedback, and sell
Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Engagement teams so that we tell compelling stories to prospects and customers
