Product Manager

What You’ll Do
As a Product Manager at Axle, you’ll drive product definition for Axle's agentic platform and interfaces. You take what our GTM teams, including Forward Deployed Product counterparts, learn from the field, assess priority based on opportunity potential and technical complexity, and then scope and launch projects that continue to improve Axle's reliability, accuracy, and ease of use across market segments and insurance lines.

Guide the Roadmap
Translate client feedback into clearly scoped product requirements that Engineering can execute against without ambiguity.

Partner with Engineering to determine complexity, dependencies, milestones, and constraints.

Work directly with Axle's leadership to prioritize projects into the product roadmap based on opportunity size and overall business strategy.

Define and iterate on Axle's product vision, principles, and success metrics, e.g., conversion, coverage, retention, etc., across its offerings.

Build the Product Foundation
Help establish Axle’s product management function - building repeatable processes, tooling, and frameworks as the company scales.

Communicate product capabilities to customers and partners across various channels.

Maintain and evolve Axle’s product documentation and guides for both internal teams and external developers.

Grow into a trusted internal authority on Axle’s product capabilities, limitations, and roadmap - the person Sales, CS, and Engineering all rely on to understand what’s possible.

What We’re Looking For
3+ years of experience in Product Management, Technical Product Management, Engineering Lead, or other product or technical lead roles.

Strong technical fluency: solid understanding of AI agents, RESTful APIs, webhooks, and system integrations. You don’t need to write production code, but you need to speak confidently with engineers and clients about how things work under the hood.

Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to translate complex technical concepts into clear narratives and tradeoffs for technical and non-technical audiences alike.

A track record of making smart, defensible prioritization decisions that balance competing stakeholder needs, business impact, and technical feasibility.

Sharp product intuition — you can walk out of a client design session and immediately know what matters, what doesn’t, and what needs to be built.

Founder mindset: simplify, move fast, and embrace feedback. You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and enjoy building 0→1 products.

An insatiable curiosity - always asking why, digging deep into how things work, and looking for the non-obvious solution.

A humble, collaborative attitude and the willingness to do whatever it takes to move the product and the company forward.

What would be even better
Experience at a fintech, infrastructure, or API-first company — especially in insurance, automotive, lending, or related industries.

Working knowledge of SQL or a scripting language (Node/JavaScript, Python) — enough to query data and build lightweight tools to support your own work.

Familiarity with AI in your day-to-day product work — prototyping, research, analysis — or with agentic AI workflows and LLM-powered products.

Previous experience at an early-stage startup where you’ve had to build product process from zero.
