πΆ About Junior
We're building cutting-edge LLM-powered tools that supercharge investment research for the world's most demanding deal teams. Our clients include several of the top 10 global private equity firms, Big 4 professional services firms, and leading consulting practices: organisations responsible for deploying billions of dollars annually.
We're profitable, bootstrapped, and past $20M in revenue after growing 10x in 2025. We're on track for 2β3x growth this year, and our product saves clients an average of 30 hours per week. We're expanding fast into investment banking, hedge funds, and research firms. Our PM team is currently 2 strong - we're looking for PMs #3-6 to own the core research workflow and help build out the product org as we scale from 60 to 120 people.
π‘ The role
You'll own the core research workflow end to end - problem discovery, MVP scoping, shipping, and driving adoption. You'll run the day-to-day execution loop: partnering with engineering and design on specs and tradeoffs, talking to customers (PE firms, consultancies) on regular calls to understand their workflows and priorities, driving QA and release readiness, and keeping founders and leadership aligned with lightweight, high-signal communication.
You ship frequently - we measure success by shipping 1 major feature per week and driving measurable adoption of everything that ships. This is a high-ownership IC role; as the org grows, you'll have the opportunity to transition into a leadership role.

π₯ About you
You've built something 0β1 from problem discovery through launch, iteration, and impact.
Walk us through what you owned end to end - the decisions you made, the tradeoffs, how you knew it worked. We want to hear the details, not a highlight reel.
You have roughly 2+ years of product experience shipping fast.
You come from a startup or scaling company where you shipped weekly or monthly, not quarterly. Bonus if you built at a high-bar company (Amazon, Palantir, top startup) or worked at a leading consulting firm while shipping real product (not just analysis).
You're close to customers and energized by direct user engagement.
You'll talk to our clients (PE firms, consultancies) regularly, understand their research workflows deeply, and let that shape every decision. You're comfortable owning the customer relationship alongside CS.
You execute relentlessly.
You make good tradeoffs, unblock teams, move fast, and focus ruthlessly on MVP. You avoid process for process's sake and prefer high accountability over cover-your-ass meetings.
You're technically grounded.
You can dig into how our LLM pipelines work, understand database constraints, and use Claude or similar tools to prototype solutions quickly. You're not writing code all day, but you think like an engineer.
You communicate clearly - written and verbal.
You write one-pagers that land with founders and customers. You give product demos that make people want to use the product.
You're NYC-based and excited to work 5 days per week in office.
You'll be on sales and CS calls, visiting customers, and shipping alongside the team in person.
π΅ Benefits
All the usual (competitive pay and equity, private healthcare, gym membership).
In-office cook
Summers working in Greece by the beach
If you've built something 0-1 and shipped it in a startup or scaling company, we'd love to hear from you. π
