Founding Product Manager

We're assisting a startup in the lending space with their search for a founding product manager. They're building an AI CFO agent that operates across a brand's entire financial stack — managing deductions, handling email workflows, working with accounting and banking data, and more. This PM role will own this product. What you'll do: Own the surface area of the AI CFO agent product: features, workflows, UI states, copilot behavior Drive customer discovery: sit in calls with CPG founders and finance teams, watch them work, translate observations into design specs Sketch tool calls, review UI states, and shape agent behavior alongside engineers in the repo daily Ship light engineering and design tasks directly when speed matters (Claude Code, Claude Design, comparable tools) Coordinate across sales, customer-facing, and engineering teams to translate customer pain into shipped features Build and ideate on internal admin workflows that heighten the company's process velocity What you'll bring: High agency, highly communicative, systems-based thinker Desire to work in close proximity to engineering Willingness to do light engineering and design tasks (Claude Code, Claude Design, comparable) Deep AI-native fluency: uses Claude, Cursor, agent frameworks, or comparable tools daily "Flash" signal: evidence of high-slope, scrappy work. Examples: shipped side projects, GitHub portfolio at a top university, hackathon wins, college startup, or comparable. Nice to haves: Technical background or undergraduate CS / Engineering degree Familiarity with agent infrastructure, LLM tool calling, or Claude Code-style architecture Interest in CPG, lending, or small business finance verticals
