Description

Product Manager – Strategy & Long-Term Planning (AI / Platform)

We’re looking for a Product Manager who specialises in strategy, planning, and clarity, rather than day-to-day delivery or execution.

This role exists to set teams up for success before engineering starts-by defining direction, aligning stakeholders, and resolving ambiguity early. If you enjoy shaping the why and what more than managing the how, this role will suit you well.

The Role

This is a planning-first Product Manager position. You’ll focus on long-term thinking, decision-making, and written product direction, then hand off cleanly to engineering and TPMs for execution.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Owning long-term product planning (3-year vision, annual and quarterly plans)
  • Defining clear product direction, goals, and requirements before delivery begins
  • Driving early stakeholder alignment and resolving open questions upfront
  • Producing high-quality written product documentation (narratives, PRFAQs, strategy docs)
  • Creating structure and clarity in ambiguous, cross-functional environments
  • Partnering with engineering, data science, and platform teams during planning phases

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a Scrum Master or backlog management role
  • Not a Technical Product Manager debugging APIs
  • Not an execution or firefighting role during delivery

Ideal Background

  • Strong strategic and structured product thinker
  • Excellent written communication skills (Amazon-style product thinking is a plus)
  • Experience working with AI, data, or platform products
  • Comfortable aligning senior stakeholders and making decisions in ambiguity
  • Preference for planning, clarity, and direction over delivery management

Why This Role

  • High impact through better decisions made earlier
  • Opportunity to shape long-term product direction for complex platforms
  • Clear separation between planning and execution responsibilities
  • A role designed for PMs who value thinking, writing, and alignment

If you’re a Product Manager who enjoys defining direction, creating clarity, and enabling teams to execute smoothly-rather than managing tickets-this role is worth exploring.
