Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Akkio provides AI infrastructure for agentic workflows across media companies, enabling enterprise-scale automation with security and governance control. The Senior Product Manager will shape AI products for media agencies by discovering customer needs, prototyping with AI, guiding cross-functional development, and driving solutions from concept through market adoption.
Responsibilities
- Discover and define: deeply understand common workflows and jobs-to-be-done within media agencies, identifying opportunities where AI can create transformational value
- Prototype with AI: use agentic coding tools to turn ideas into working demos, validating direction with customers and engineering before a line of production code is written
- Translate vision into reality: convert customer insights into clear product requirements and running prototypes for our engineering and design teams
- Lead product development: set direction and guide cross-functional teams through the product creation process, course-correcting as solutions come to life
- Engage with customers: present and demo solutions to senior agency leaders, gathering feedback and building relationships that inform product strategy
- Make decisive calls: use your product instinct to recognize strong versus weak product directions quickly and set the right course forward
- Build credibility: earn the trust of both world-class engineers internally and C-level stakeholders externally through your technical depth and leadership presence
Skills
- * Proven product leadership: a track record of shipping impressive software products, with roles of increasing responsibility
- * You've deeply integrated AI into your daily workflow; you use it for research synthesis, analysis, drafting, and prototyping, and you can build a working demo with agentic coding tools without waiting on an engineer
- * You thrive on ownership: you've repeatedly taken loosely defined or shifting priorities and delivered great products anyway, filling gaps with judgment rather than waiting for direction
- * Technical foundation: a CS, Engineering, or Design background, and the credibility to lead teams of software engineers and designers in building great products
- * Strong product instinct: you immediately recognize good versus bad product decisions, think fast on your feet, and set direction rather than just relay information
- * Executive presence: you command the room with senior leaders, keeping pace with (and ideally leading) strategic conversations and demos
- * Travel flexibility: willing to spend significant time in NYC working directly with customers
- * **Location:** Akkio is a fully remote company, but you must be willing to spend significant customer-facing time in New York City
- * **Authorization:** Must be authorized to work in the US
- * Domain expertise: experience in AI startups or AdTech product companies, with knowledge of AI technology or media agency operations strongly preferred
- * Public artifacts of your AI-native workflow: prototypes you've shipped with agentic coding tools, published MCP servers, or writing about how you work with AI
- * Hands-on experience shipping LLM-powered products: agent experiences, evals, or AI-native workflow tools
- * Direct experience with media agency operations, programmatic advertising, or marketing analytics
- * Previous early-stage startup experience
