Lead discovery and early delivery for new product areas: research opportunities, build theses, size markets, and produce shovel-ready briefs, prototypes, and specs. Run small end-to-end projects with engineers, leverage AI/agents to accelerate research and prototyping, and decide whether to spin up squads, build lean, hand off, or kill initiatives. Occasionally cover existing squads as needed and work asynchronously in a documentation-first environment.

About the role

Most PMs at Tremendous run a squad. This role owns problems instead.

We're growing fast and spinning up new product areas. Each one needs research, a roadmap, and shovel-ready specs before we staff it. That's your job. You'll dig into areas where we might launch a squad, and run projects too small to need one.

You'll carry one or two projects at a time, drawn from the company's highest-priority open questions. When a problem proves worth solving, what happens next depends on how big the opportunity is.

If it justifies a long-term team, you'll likely build that squad and lead it as its PM. If it's worth building but smaller, you'll build it yourself with an engineer or two and design help from a related squad. If it's small and close to an existing squad's work, you'll hand it off with a finished brief, and that squad's PM will carry it forward. You'll have real influence over new project areas and which teams exist a year from now.

Today, the product management org is 7 PMs, led by a co-founder who serves as Head of Product.

You will

  • Report to our Co-founder / Head of Product, Kapil Kale

  • Own new product areas before they have a team. Develop a thesis, do the research, size the opportunity, and make a recommendation: spin up a squad, build it lean, hand it off, or kill it. Kill calls are as valuable as green lights.

  • Turn research into shovel-ready work. Your output is briefs, prototypes, and specs that a squad can pick up and build immediately.

  • Move quickly using AI. Use agents to dig through customer tickets, sales calls, usage data, and competitor research. Ship clickable prototypes in days to test ideas with real customers.

  • Run projects that don't need a full squad. Some work is worth doing but too small for a team. You'll drive these end-to-end with engineers from existing squads.

  • Cover a squad when needed. If a team is temporarily without a PM, you may step in. This is occasional, and your portfolio comes first.

  • Work async. Most product work here happens in writing. If you're used to running product through meetings, this will feel different.

You have

  • 6+ years building and shipping web applications as a designer, engineer, or product manager at tech companies, with at least 2 years taking new products from zero to one.

  • Comfortable being the only person accountable for an initiative that doesn't have a team yet.

  • Comfortable owning a portfolio instead of a single product. If validation kills your thesis, you move to the next bet without drama.

  • A track record of turning ambiguous opportunities into prioritized, shovel-ready roadmaps.

  • Strong product intuition, design judgment, and technical fluency. You hold your own with designers and engineers.

  • Outstanding written communication. We're documentation-first, and this role runs on briefs and decision memos that need to persuade senior stakeholders.

  • Founder, founding PM, or first-product-hire experience is a strong plus.

What’s cool about the role

  • Competitive pay and equity. Base salary for this role: $250,000 to $325,000.

  • Real benefits. 100% covered health (US), unlimited PTO, 12-16 weeks paid parental leave.

  • Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas.

  • Great culture. Read more about how we work in our public handbook.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
