Senior AI Engineer, Voice Platform
Principal Product Manager
Senior Product Manager
At ClickUp, we're building the future of work: the first truly converged AI workspace unifying tasks, docs, chat, calendar, and enterprise search, all supercharged by context-driven AI. We are an AI-native company. Every team member is expected to leverage AI daily, and we evaluate AI fluency as part of our hiring process. Join us and help redefine what's possible. 🚀
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are hiring the next generation of product managers. AI has collapsed the work that used to sit between an idea and a working version of it, and for the first time, PMs can be true builders. The PMs who win in this era do not manage the work. They build the product, every day, with their own hands.
A Senior Product Manager owns a meaningful surface of ClickUp and is accountable for whether it gets better. You decide what to build and why, then go build a working version of it. You prototype in Cursor and Claude when an idea is faster shown than written. You live in the data and the customer signal, and the time between spotting a problem and having something people can react to is measured in days, not weeks. The PMs who compound the most impact at this level are the ones who keep finding leverage that did not exist last quarter.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the vision, roadmap, and delivery for a defined product surface, balancing near-term wins with longer-horizon investments.
Run continuous discovery. Building and using agents to monitor and synthesize that part of your job.
Write sharp PRDs and specs that give engineering and design what they need to move fast without ambiguity.
Define success metrics before you build, track them after you ship, and iterate when outcomes do not match expectations.
Prototype your own ideas using Cursor, Claude Code, and our Prototype Playground. Show the concept before filing the ticket.
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, analytics, and GTM without needing to be managed through the process.
Present your roadmap and results clearly to stakeholders and leadership, and update them when direction changes.
Spot friction in how the team operates and suggest concrete improvements.
QUALIFICATIONS
5 or more years in product management with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a product area in a B2B SaaS environment.
Proven track record of shipping. You have taken features from concept through launch and iterated based on data.
Strong prioritization instincts. You know how to say no and can defend it.
High customer empathy and the ability to separate what users say from what they actually need.
Comfortable with data. You define your own metrics, query dashboards, and make arguments from numbers.
Clear written and verbal communicator. Your specs and strategy docs create alignment without requiring a follow-up meeting.
Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast pace. You do not wait to be told what to do.
Hands-on with AI tools. You already use them and are always looking for new ways to get more out of them.
AI PROFICIENCY
Generate artifacts that accelerate alignment. Leverage AI to draft PRDs, map user flows, validate product launch readiness, synthesize research and customer feedback, produce competitive analyses, and write release notes.
Prototype and iterate with AI coding tools. Build functional prototypes independently of design and engineering using tools like Cursor or Claude Code.
QA your own work. Use browser automation tools to test flows, verify edge cases, and confirm what shipped matches what was specced.
Stay current and apply it. Familiarity with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Figma AI, and MCP integrations is expected. Actively experiment and fold new capabilities into your workflow.
