Key Responsibilities

As a Product Manager at Nearcut, you will be responsible for leading the development of our product, working closely with cross-functional teams to identify and prioritize key features and improvements.

Lead structured discovery to understand client needs through Intercom feedback, PostHog data, client interviews, and competitor analysis.
De-risk difficult problems by identifying and executing the cheapest way to get the information needed to have more certainty.
Make sure we build the right thing at the right time by identifying the highest-impact points of focus across various product areas and articulating why, so we can prioritize with confidence.
Create organized, well-reasoned specs that give design, development, and AI tools the clarity and constraints to move quickly, with tradeoffs and risks made explicit rather than hidden.
Keep things moving by maintaining momentum across multiple projects at once, holding scope tightly, and preferring working, testable iterations over a perfect plan.
Use AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate your own work and inform product decisions, while recognizing which types of work still require human judgment.
Partner directly with designers and developers to iterate solutions during development.
Measure what we ship by defining success metrics upfront, tracking them in PostHog or across other tools, and proactively communicating your findings.
Create efficient processes and documentation that help the entire team work better.
Collaborate with the leadership team to align product strategy with company goals and objectives.
