Fractional AI - Forward Deployed Product Manager (NC)

• Customer-facing, high-stakes experience. You've led projects where customers were under pressure, stakeholders weren't aligned, and the path wasn't obvious. You're comfortable pushing back, reframing the problem, and holding the line on quality. We typically look for 4–8 years in product, consulting, or implementations, although we care more about what you've done than the label on your resume. • Customer-facing, high-stakes experience. • 4–8 years • Real product and delivery experience. You've built and shipped products with engineers and designers across multiple cycles. You can run an execution rhythm — stand-ups, planning, tracking, retros — without turning it into process theater. - • Structured problem-solving and communication. You ask good questions, structure chaos, and turn ambiguity into a plan — moving from whiteboarding with execs to writing a crisp doc for engineers without losing the plot. • Structured problem-solving and communication. • Bias for action and ownership. You roll up your sleeves and make things happen, whether that's writing a scrappy SQL query, drafting a support playbook, or jumping into a last-minute exec demo. - • Bias for action and ownership. • Comfort with ambiguity and intensity. You like high-energy environments, messy problems, and "we haven't done this before" projects.

You have outsized autonomy on each product — but you won't have a year to polish a single system. The upside is constant time on the frontier of models and tooling, and a muscle for AI product development that's hard to build anywhere else. • Many PMs look back at this as the biggest growth period of their career. But it's possible you won't like it — we recommend using the interview process to hear what our team members think. • Our Values • Our Values • Overdeliver: We are writing the playbook on how to create enterprise value with LLMs, and building our reputation as the world’s best applied AI team. • Overdeliver: • Overuse AI: We go out of our way to experiment with the latest tools and share what we learn with our teammates - building a culture at the frontier. • Overuse AI: • Over "engineer" the culture: For every big decision, we ask “would this make Fractional a better or worse place for our team?” • Over "engineer" the culture: • Location • Location • Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC • Work Arrangement: 4 days in-person, Fridays remote
