New York, New York Full TimePosted Aug 4, 2026

Job description

Dear applicants, please note that applications without salary expectations and an active LinkedIn profile will not be considered.**

We are hiring a Founding Product Manager to help scale an AI-native workflow platform transforming one of the world’s largest and least automated industries — construction. This is a high-ownership role focused on moving from human-operated services to AI-driven product workflows. You will operate in a weekly spec-to-ship cadence and work directly with founders and engineering to define what gets automated next — and how.
