The kind of people who’ve shipped breakthrough AI products that millions actually use and other top PMs seek out as collaborators. This isn’t about typical product management roles or career advancement perks. It’s about working alongside some of the most talented product minds and engineers in AI, solving fascinating problems at unprecedented scale. You'll collaborate in-person with a carefully selected group designed for breakthrough thinking, backed by the resources and reach of Automattic's ecosystem, spanning WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and more. Think of it as an elite AI lab with the distribution and impact that comes with serving hundreds of millions of users. What You'll Do - Define and ship AI experiences across multiple Automattic products, from established platforms to emerging bets that push the boundaries of what’s possible. - Work directly with engineers to rapidly prototype and iterate, bridging user needs with technical possibilities. - Drive experimentation at scale across diverse user bases, learning faster than competitors through rapid iteration. - Move fast on breakthrough ideas; design, ship, and measure AI features that set new standards in their categories. - Scale successful innovations by integrating proven concepts into core product roadmaps. - Push the boundaries of what product management looks like when exceptional talent works together. You’ll Excel Here If You - Have shipped AI products users love; you know the difference between demos and features that fundamentally change how millions of people interact with each other. - Are exceptionally talented; you’re the PM other great product leaders want to collaborate with. - Are deeply technical without coding; discuss model architecture and system constraints as fluently as user experience and business metrics. - Move fast and think big; prototype quickly while architecting for massive scale. - Thrive on working with other exceptional people rather than just seeking comfortable product environments. - Think like a builder; comfortable with ambiguity, turning ambitious visions into shippable realities. Experience We’re Looking For - 4-6+ years in product management with 2+ years shipping AI/ML-powered features that reached significant scale. - Track record of exceptional product impact; features or products you’ve shipped that meaningfully changed user behavior. (Be prepared to explain how!) - Strong technical fluency; create detailed mockups, analyze complex data, understand API constraints, and communicate sophisticated ideas clearly to engineers. - Experience working across multiple products with diverse technical architectures and user needs. - Proven ability to work with top-tier engineering talent and contribute meaningfully to technical discussions. What You’ll Be Working On - Accelerate AI integration across our “Other Bets” portfolio, working with engineering teams to identify and ship transformative features. - Define MVP approaches for AI in core products like WordPress.com and WooCommerce that set new industry standards. - Build experimentation frameworks for rapid testing and learning across massive user bases. - Create the product intelligence systems that help our teams see around corners and move faster than competitors. Why This Role Matters Shape AI transformation for hundreds of millions of users across creative, commerce, and communication experiences. Work on the kinds of product challenges that define entire categories: making content creation fundamentally more accessible, reimagining customer support, and helping small businesses access capabilities that were previously enterprise-only. You’ll have the resources and reach to tackle problems most product managers can only dream about, alongside a team selected specifically for their ability to push boundaries.
