Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Prophetic is building an AI-native platform that helps homebuilders, developers, and investors find, analyze, and act on land opportunities. The Product Manager will own product areas across land opportunity discovery, evaluation, and execution, translating customer needs into product direction and collaborating with engineering, data, and AI teams to ship features.
Responsibilities
- Own the backlog and roadmap for your area(s), grounded in deep understanding of how land developers, brokers, and acquisition teams actually work in the field
- Define problems worth solving. Translate customer conversations, expert feedback, competitive signals, and market dynamics into clear problem statements with measurable success criteria
- Make prioritization decisions that balance customer urgency, strategic value, and engineering feasibility — the scoring is automated, but the judgment is yours
- Serve as the internal authority on how land acquisition professionals discover, evaluate, and execute on opportunities — including zoning research, site feasibility, entitlement processes, and competitive market analysis
- Conduct customer discovery with enterprise homebuilders, multifamily developers, land brokerages, and industrial firms. Understand workflows, not just feature requests
- Maintain competitive awareness across mapping platforms, land data providers, and AI-enabled real estate tools. Know where we lead, where we trail, and what’s emerging
- Write executive summaries that frame problems for leadership decisions and detailed PRDs that give engineering clear, testable requirements
- Collaborate closely with engineering, AI, and data teams through the build cycle. Be available for trade-off decisions, scope calls, and edge case resolution
- Define acceptance criteria and success metrics that connect feature work to customer outcomes — not just output metrics
- Work with Chief Product Officer and engineering to manage your product area in coordination across product areas where features span Discovery, Evaluation, and Execution boundaries — particularly data infrastructure and map layers that underpin multiple products
- Partner with Sales and Account Management to translate pipeline feedback and client escalations into actionable product insights

- Experience working with AI/ML-powered products where model capabilities and data quality are core to the user experience
- Strong cross-functional leadership skills. You've shipped features by aligning engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders around a shared direction
- Comfort with ambiguity. You can make defensible decisions when data is incomplete and adjust course as you learn
- Experience with geospatial data, mapping technologies, or GIS platforms
- Understanding of zoning codes, municipal permitting, or land use regulation at the county or municipal level
- Familiarity with AI-powered search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or natural language interfaces for complex data
