By orchestrating procurement across teams, tools, and suppliers with the help of AI agents, companies can secure the resources they need to innovate faster than ever before.\nThe world’s most influential enterprises trust Zip, including T-Mobile, OpenAI, AMD, Mars, Dollar Tree, and more. Together they’ve saved over $8 billion and processed over $500 billion in spend. Zip’s team includes product leaders from Apple, Airbnb, and Meta, as well as former procurement leaders from United Health, Sanofi, MGM Resorts, Discover, and NASA.\nBacked by Adams Street, Alkeon, BOND, CRV, DST, Tiger Global, and Y Combinator, Zip has raised $371 million, most recently at a $2.2 billion valuation and has been recognized by Forbes Fintech 50, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, Inc. Best in Business, and LinkedIn Top Startups.\nYour Role\nWe’re hiring a Senior/Principal Product Manager (experience dependent) to lead a core part of Zip’s AI Agent product, one of the company’s fastest-moving and most strategic bets. Zip recently launched Superagents: LLM-powered teammates that take on the repetitive, low-value work drowning procurement, AP, risk, and legal teams so those teams can focus on strategic work.\nAs PM, you’ll own the vision and strategy for a major area of this product and drive it end to end with a high degree of autonomy. This is a foundational, platform role with high impact: you’ll build the agent and chat capabilities that other Zip teams and customers build on top of, so your success is measured as much by what you enable others to ship as by what your own team delivers. And because businesses trust these agents to act on their behalf, you’ll own the quality bar that makes that trust possible: the evals, guardrails, and feedback loops that keep agent output accurate, auditable, and reliable.\nYou Will\nSet the vision and multi-quarter strategy for a major area of Zip’s AI product, translating a fast-changing technology landscape into a clear, opinionated view on what to build and why\n\nPartner with engineering, design, and AI research to ship sophisticated agent capabilities and turn them into concrete, high-value use cases that are accurate, reliable, and genuinely useful\n\nWork directly with customers and customer-facing teams to understand user needs and gather feedback on our agents and chat experiences\n\nOwn the quality bar for AI experiences end to end, designing the evals, rollout gates, guardrails, and feedback loops that let customers trust agents to act on their behalf, and holding the line on accuracy and reliability even as capabilities expand\n\nRoll up your sleeves wherever the team needs it, whether that’s sitting in on user research, debugging a quality issue, or reviewing agent outputs\n\nQualifications\n8+ years of Product Management experience, preferably in SaaS or consumer tech, with a track record of owning ambiguous, high-impact areas end to end\n\nDeep experience partnering with engineering and design to ship sophisticated products with a great user experience\n\nExperience building platform or foundational products that other teams build on top of, with a collaborative, service-oriented approach to aligning roadmaps and making their success your own\n\nA track record of setting product strategy and influencing cross-functional partners and leadership without direct authority\n\nStrong written and verbal communication with internal and external stakeholders, including executives\n\nExtreme attention to detail, with the ability to quickly grasp complex business processes and industry knowledge\n\nAbility to prioritize ruthlessly, even if it may disappoint customers or stakeholders\n\nThe salary range for this role is $200,000 - $280,000. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.\nPerks & Benefits\nAt Zip, we’re committed to providing our employees with everything they need to do their best work.\nStart-up equity\n\nFull health, vision & dental coverage\n\nCatered lunches & dinners for SF employees\n\nCommuter benefit\n\nTeam building events & happy hours\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nApple equipment plus home office budget\n\n401k plan\n\nWe're looking to hire Zipsters and that means hiring people who take ownership, communicate openly, have an underdog mindset, and are excited to increase the pace of innovation for every business in the world. We encourage all candidates to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workspace where everyone (regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more) feels like they belong. We look forward to hearing from you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":4863,"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":["401k plan","Equity","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Procurement & Spend Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-02T19:46:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.456,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":112,"expected_fill_days":54,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zip-principal-product-manager-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zip-principal-product-manager-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T04:01:19Z","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":6330,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":38131},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38131"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzip-principal-product-manager-ai"},{"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%2Fzip-principal-product-manager-ai"},{"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%2Fzip-principal-product-manager-ai"},{"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/zip-principal-product-manager-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzip-principal-product-manager-ai"}]}
