Our vision is to expand human capacity through superintelligence. And we're proving it's possible - through powerful, trustworthy AI that unites IT and business teams together to unlock enterprise-wide transformation. With WRITER's end-to-end platform, hundreds of companies like Mars, Marriott, Uber, and Vanguard are building and deploying AI agents that are grounded in their company's data and fueled by WRITER's enterprise-grade LLMs. Valued at $1.9B and backed by industry-leading investors including Premji Invest, Radical Ventures, and ICONIQ Growth, WRITER is rapidly cementing its position as the leader in enterprise generative AI.\nFounded in 2020 with office hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and London, our team thinks big and moves fast, and we're looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work with AI.\nAbout this role\nThis is a chance to help shape the next chapter of WRITER's product at a moment when generative AI is redefining how work gets done. As senior staff product manager, you'll report directly to Wil Pong, VP of Product, and operate as a force-multiplier across the product organization - setting direction where it's unclear, aligning stakeholders, and making sure our most critical initiatives ship with excellence.\nYou'll own ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces that span multiple product areas and teams, and you'll be equal parts strategist and operator. One moment you're shaping a multi-quarter roadmap; the next you're rolling up your sleeves to unblock execution. We're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of customer empathy, technical depth, and business judgment - and who is energized by turning complex, evolving AI capabilities into products customers love.\nYour responsibilities\nDrive high-impact product initiatives end-to-end, from discovery and problem definition through launch, adoption, and iteration across areas that span multiple squads and surfaces\n\nShape product strategy and roadmap in partnership with the VP of Product and product leadership, translating company-level goals into clear, sequenced, ambitious bets\n\nSpend time with enterprise buyers, end users, and prospects to uncover unmet needs, validate problem-solution fit, and champion the customer voice in every decision\n\nPartner closely with engineering and design to define requirements, navigate technical tradeoffs, and build the right things in the right order, bringing real fluency to conversations about LLMs, agents, platform architecture, and data\n\nAlign cross-functional stakeholders across go-to-market, sales, marketing, customer success, and executive leadership, communicating strategy and tradeoffs with crisp, audience-appropriate narrative\n\nDefine and own success metrics for your areas, using data and qualitative signal to evaluate impact, course-correct, and tell the story of outcomes to leadership\n\nRaise the bar on product craft across the org by mentoring and coaching other PMs, modeling best practices, and strengthening a culture built on rigor, customer obsession, and velocity\n\n⭐ Is this you?\n8+ years of product management experience with a track record of owning and shipping complex, high-impact products, ideally in SaaS, platform, infrastructure, or AI/ML-driven environments\n\nSenior- or staff-level experience operating autonomously across ambiguous, multi-team problem spaces and influencing outcomes well beyond your immediate team\n\nGenuine customer obsession - you instinctively go to the customer, synthesize signal from noise, and design from a deep understanding of real workflows and pain points\n\nTechnical credibility to engage meaningfully with engineers and researchers on system design, LLM capabilities, data, and architecture, knowing when to go deep and when to defer to the experts\n\nA blend of strong strategic thinking and relentless execution - you can set a compelling vision one moment and sweat the details of a release plan the next\n\nExceptional communication that you tailor for any audience, from a frontline engineer to the executive team, driving alignment without relying on org chart authority\n\nA mentor's instinct and a builder's drive, with the data-informed, outcome-driven mindset to define success up front and move with the speed this environment demands\n\nNice to haves\nExperience building products powered by LLMs, generative AI, or large-scale AI/ML systems\n\nBackground in enterprise software, developer platforms, or developer-facing products\n\nFamiliarity with AI governance, guardrails, and the operational considerations of deploying AI in regulated or high-stakes environments\n\nBenefits & perks (UK full-time employees):\nGenerous PTO, plus company holidays\n\nComprehensive medical and dental insurance\n\nPaid parental leave for all parents (16 weeks)\n\nFertility and family planning support\n\nCompetitive pension scheme and company contribution\n\nAnnual work-life stipends for:\nWellness stipend for gym, massage/chiropractor, personal training, etc.\n\nLearning and development stipend\n\nCompany-wide off-sites and team off-sites\n\nCompetitive compensation and company stock options","description_format":"text","description_chars":5270,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Dental insurance","Parental leave","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","AI Agents","Foundation Models","Vector Search & RAG"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T17:29:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.834,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":44,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/writer-lead-product-manager-uk-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/writer-lead-product-manager-uk-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T09:55:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18015,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":829},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=829"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwriter-lead-product-manager-uk-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwriter-lead-product-manager-uk-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwriter-lead-product-manager-uk-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/writer-lead-product-manager-uk-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwriter-lead-product-manager-uk-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1150323}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"writer.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1150323},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
