Key responsibilities & impact

Run client engagements end-to-end across web, mobile, AI-native, and emerging product surfaces
Translate ambiguous briefs into structured delivery, working prototypes, and shipped product
Collaborate closely with design and engineering leads on the work itself while not being afraid to own the delivery system around it
Present work clearly to clients and internal teams, holding the line on scope, budget, and quality with honesty rather than ceremony
Use AI tools and agents as a core part of your workflow to triage, draft, prioritize, summarize, and accelerate our Client’s outcomes
Build, test and maintain skills, agents, and workflows like code — version them, improve them as the team's taste sharpens, and feed honest learnings back to R&D

What you’ll need

Project delivery experience at a digital product agency, studio, or consultancy, ideally in a Senior or Lead role
Product delivery experience at a startup, scale-up, or large organization is excellent experience, as well
Demonstrated mastery of running a project end-to-end — prioritization, sequencing, scope, dependencies, and the artifacts that keep design and engineering unblocked
You don't just use AI — you build with it. Likely in your personal life and hobby time. You've shipped skills, agents, or automated workflows that did real work and ran on their own.
A bias toward owning the outcome, not just the plan — carrying product, user, and technical context across the team without letting threads drop
Sharp judgment on what to ship next and what to cut, keeping the team focused on solving the right problem at the right time
Passionate about staying ahead of how AI is changing product delivery, with a personal point of view on what's working and what isn't
Happy working with R&D — taking ideas and prototypes out of experimentation, and folding the findings back into how the broader org delivers
