What's changing in the US

In this video, we explore the key shifts shaping the US recruitment landscape, particularly across data, technology and leadership roles. From evolving candidate expectations to structural changes in how businesses hire and scale, the market is moving fast. Understanding these changes is critical for companies that want to stay competitive and attract the best talent.

Why We Don't Just Sent Any Candidate

In a competitive hiring market, volume is easy. Precision is harder. In this video, we explain why our approach isn’t about flooding inboxes with CVs — it’s about delivering carefully selected, high-impact candidates who truly fit the brief.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Founding AI Product Manager to establish and lead the product function for a growing AI organization.

This is the first dedicated Product Manager hire supporting the AI product portfolio. You will work at the intersection of product strategy, applied AI, engineering, and business impact-defining what gets built, why it matters, and how to turn advanced AI capabilities into scalable products.

  • Define product roadmaps across LLMs, generative AI, intelligent automation, and other core AI capabilities.
  • Help determine where the organization should build proprietary technology versus leverage existing technologies.
  • Work closely with technical teams developing and improving AI systems rather than simply consuming third-party models.
  • Own the full product lifecycle, from problem definition and discovery through development, launch, adoption, and iteration.
  • Develop product requirements, prioritization frameworks, success metrics, and go-to-market plans.
  • Balance long-term AI product strategy with hands-on execution and rapid delivery.
  • Work directly with senior leadership to shape the organization’s broader AI product strategy.
  • Establish foundational product processes, operating rhythms, and best practices.
  • Help define the future structure of the AI product organization and contribute to future product hiring.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience building and launching products involving AI, machine learning, generative AI, or advanced data-driven technologies.
  • Experience working with LLMs and modern AI systems at a meaningful product or technical level.
  • Strong understanding of how AI products are actually built, including the tradeoffs between models, data, infrastructure, evaluation, performance, cost, and user experience.
  • Experience partnering closely with engineering and technical teams building proprietary AI capabilities.
  • A track record of taking ambiguous problems and turning them into clear product strategies and executable roadmaps.
  • Strong technical fluency and the ability to engage deeply with engineers, data scientists, and AI researchers.
  • Experience working in an environment where the product function is still being established or scaled.
  • Strong judgment around prioritization, experimentation, and balancing technical ambition with business impact.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence across technical and executive stakeholders.
