About the role

  • New verticals are the headline, but the day-to-day is a mix of zero-to-one product definition and disciplined operating cadence on what's already in market.
  • We're solving real-time entity resolution at a scale no one else has cracked - fusing dozens of data sources into a single business identity graph and resolving any entity in milliseconds.
  • It's a graph AI problem, a retrieval problem, and a fraud-modeling problem stacked on top of each other.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the scoping of new products targeting verticals beyond financial institutions, from initial thesis through detailed product spec
  • Build the artifacts that align the company: PRDs, one-pagers, wireframes, decision logs, and launch criteria
  • Own the "what" and the "why" so eng and design can own the "how"
  • Specs, Wireframes & Design Partnership
  • Write specs that engineers can build from without a dozen follow-up questions
  • Partner closely with design on UX, with strong opinions on craft and a clear bar for what ships
  • Own the roadmap for Baselayer's current product surface, sequencing what gets built and what waits
  • Build a planning cadence that's predictable for the team and legible to the rest of the company
  • Career rocket fuel: You'll help build the foundation of a high-growth startup, working side by side with experienced founders and team members who've done it before.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in product management, with at least one zero-to-one product you scoped, shipped, and grew into material revenue
  • Strong opinions on UX and product craft, with the ability to defend them and the humility to update them
  • Experience taking a product into a new vertical or expanding into adjacent markets
  • Experience as the first PM hire at a venture-backed startup

Compensation

  • $210,000 - $290,000 + equity
  • We pay well and back it with equity.

Benefits

  • 401(k) with company match: We match your contributions so your future self benefits too
  • Time off when you need it: Flexible PTO so you can recharge without red tape.
  • Competitive compensation: We pay well and back it with equity.
  • Benefits on us: We cover 100% of your health, dental, and vision premiums.
  • HSA contributions included: We contribute to your HSA on applicable plans, so your coverage works as hard as you do
  • Stay healthy, stay sharp: A $250 monthly gym stipend to help you bring your best self to work, and everywhere else

Company info

  • Produce wireframes and flow diagrams that make tradeoffs concrete and force decisions early
  • Run spec reviews that surface ambiguity before it becomes rework
  • Make the daily prioritization calls that keep engineering focused on the highest-leverage work
  • Kill work that isn't pulling its weight
  • Drive execution across engineering, design, and GTM (Sales, Marketing, CS, Growth)
  • PRDs, one-pagers, wireframes, decision logs, and launch criteria
  • Roadmap & Prioritization for Existing Products
  • Cross-Functional Execution
  • Run the launch process: scope lock, build, beta, GA, with clear handoffs and ownership at each stage
  • Be the connective tissue between what's being built and what's being sold, supported, and marketed
  • Operate with founder-level ownership and urgency. You'll be trusted to make calls and held to the outcomes
  • Track record working closely with senior engineering leadership (CTO, VP Eng, founding engineers) as a true thought partner, not a ticket-writer
  • Strong written communication. You write specs, briefs, and one-pagers that move decisions forward without a meeting
  • Operates with founder-level ownership and urgency. You don't wait to be told what's broken
  • Comfortable with technical concepts. You can hold your own in architecture conversations without needing to write the code yourself
  • Bias toward shipping. A v1 in market beats a v3 in a doc
  • Background in B2B SaaS, fintech, identity, KYB, fraud, risk, or compliance
  • Worked at an early-stage company where you owned product without the safety net of a PM team
  • Based in New York City; Full-time in office
