Job Description

Join our team as a Forward Deployed Product Manager, where you will partner directly with enterprise brands and retailers to discover, design, and deliver AI-powered commerce solutions. You will own the full arc from problem to production, run deep discovery sessions with clients, coordinate delivery across sales, account management, and engineering, and work closely with our founders and the FDE team. You should have 3+ years of experience in management consulting or investment banking, strong structured thinking and communication skills, and a genuine excitement for AI tools.

  • Partner directly with enterprise brands and retailers to discover, design, and deliver AI-powered commerce solutions, owning the full arc from problem to production.
  • Run deep discovery sessions with clients to unearth the real problems worth solving, then translate those into proof of concepts using the FERMÀT platform and Claude Code.
  • Coordinate delivery across sales, account management, and engineering to ensure what gets built actually ships—and that clients see the value.
  • Comfortable building in ambiguity and figuring things out yourself. You don't wait for a playbook; you write it
  • Someone whose default way of interacting with SaaS tools is through their MCPs—you'd rather wire up an integration than click through a UI
  • A high-agency operator who's spent 3+ years in management consulting or investment banking—you know how to navigate complex client relationships and deliver under pressure
  • Someone who gets genuinely excited about AI tools and jumps into new technology without waiting to be told how. Claude, Replit, Lovable—these are in your daily rotation, not on your to-do list
  • A natural at asking the right questions. You understand that great discovery is what separates a solution that lands from one that misses, and you treat it like a craft
  • Strong structured thinking and communication skills: you can take a messy client problem and turn it into a clear solution narrative
  • 3+ years in management consulting (MBB, Big 4, boutique strategy) or investment banking, at the Senior BA, Engagement Manager, or equivalent level—real client ownership, not just support
  • Experience working across sales, product, and engineering stakeholders in a fast-moving environment
  • Demonstrated comfort with AI tools in your actual workflow
  • Technical curiosity without a CS degree—a background in bioengineering, applied sciences, or anything that signals you pick up tools fast is a serious plus
