You've personally built and shipped a product. Not managing a team that did it — you scoped it, designed it, got into the weeds with the model or the agent or the code, put it in front of real customers, and changed it based on what they did.
That's the qualifying condition for this role. Everything below is for people who clear that bar.
We don't think the next decade of enterprise software is won by a better roadmap. It's won by people who can see a vertical, build the product for it, sell it, price it, and own whether it makes money.
More owner than employee
At Lyzr, you operate like an owner, not a report line. The PMs who thrive here are former founders or future ones — that founder instinct is the mindset we're after.
A traditional PM does competitive analysis, manages the pipeline, coordinates engineering, runs the standup, and talks to customers when needed. All real work — and not enough for what we're building. A Lyzr PM does all of that and:
Owns the P&L. You're accountable for whether your vertical makes money, not just whether it ships.
Owns the GTM. You understand the channel, the motion, the message, and you drive demand — you don't wait for marketing to "support the launch."
Vibe-codes the first cut. You're the first person to prototype, and do it yourself with real design sense — not a wireframe handed to engineering.
Lives in the customer's world — has talked to at least 10 customers before a feature gets built.
Thinks like an owner about growth. Product creativity and growth creativity are the same muscle to you.
You're not managing a roadmap. You're running a business inside Lyzr. We think of our PMs as partners who own the roadmap, the commercial outcome, and the future of the product.
What you'll own
A vertical, as a business. You'll own one of our agent categories — BFSI, Customer Support, Marketing, Sales Ops, Finance — end to end. ICP, use cases, outcomes, roadmap, pricing inputs, GTM, and the number at the bottom of it.
The product surface. Vision, strategy, and positioning for your category, with an uncompromising focus on the outcome the customer actually buys — not the feature list.
The first prototype — you build the v0 yourself, validate it with real users, then bring engineering in to scale what works.
The customer relationship. Discovery, betas, value proofs, and selling. You'll be in front of customers and GSIs every week. You'll also be in the thumbs-down comments and the support tickets when your agents misbehave.
The evals and the guardrails. Quality bars for accuracy, latency, and cost; golden sets and pass/fail gates; policy and PII guardrails. You make the quality–latency–cost tradeoffs explicit and you own them.
The commercial outcome. Adoption, activation, retention, expansion, win rate, and unit economics — token and model cost per task included. You know your numbers are cold.
The go-to-market. Messaging, positioning, the competitive narrative, the launch, the one-pager, the demo, the ROI story, and field/partner enablement. You don't hand this off.
Write quarterly roadmap PDFs to feel senior.
Run a scrum and call it product management.
Wait for engineering to ship before deciding what to ship next.
Hand the GTM, pricing, or customer conversation to "the relevant team."
A builder's instinct. You turn an idea into a working product fast, validate it with customers, and iterate on what you learn. You don't wait for perfect requirements; you make the requirements by shipping.
Real fluency in modern AI. LLMs, agent architectures, prompt and tool design, RAG, evals. You've built with these, not just read about them.
Engineering-grade debugging. When an agent is wrong, you read the logs, trace the tool call, check the grounding source, and write the regression test. You don't ask the team to "look into it."
Design sense. You can tell good from bad, you have taste, and you're the final arbiter of whether an experience is something a customer would love or merely tolerate.
Commercial judgment. You think in funnels, cohorts, and unit economics as naturally as in features. You can defend a pricing decision.
Comfort with ambiguity. Priorities shift weekly, not every answer exists upfront, and that energizes rather than rattles you.
The ability to influence without authority across technical and non-technical teams, customers, and partners.
Total ownership. You lead the projects, make the calls, and drive the impact.
Work that matters. No busywork, no fluff — what you build here moves the needle and helps shape the future.
Freedom to build. No micromanagement; just you, your ideas, and the green light to ship, scale, and make things happen.
Global reach. You'll work with teams, partners, and customers across the globe — your ideas won't just stay local.
We back builders with a budget and a team (engineering and marketing). You'll learn how enterprise actually works — how deals close, how value gets priced, how a category gets defined, how a Fortune 500 buyer thinks. We help you perfect your craft.
This is a founder residency disguised as a PM role. If you came to climb a ladder, you'll be disappointed. If you come to compress years of building into a much shorter window, this is the place.
