Principal Product Manager

G-P is a leading SaaS-based Global Employment Platform™ dedicated to breaking down barriers to global business. They are seeking a Principal Product Manager to drive the H3 discovery process, collaborate with engineering, and gather customer insights to develop innovative products.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the end-to-end H3 discovery process—framing the jobs-to-be-done (JTBD), building prototypes, and managing low-fidelity experiments
• Collaborate with your Engineering counterpart to ship weekly "sketchy V0s" and fake-door experiments rather than scalable V1s, optimizing for speed of validated learning
• Talk to target users, alpha participants, and industry edge-cases constantly. Build deep qualitative empathy to uncover latent human needs from real workflows, not feature requests
• Obsess over a strict succession of metrics before considering delivery economics or monetization
• Actively evaluate data points from weekly probes to confidently make "Persevere, Pivot, or Kill" recommendations—treating a quick, low-cost "Kill" as a major win
• Maintain a disciplined focus on radical innovation, calling out and rejecting ideas that are merely incremental optimizations

Requirements:

• Engineering Background: You can read code, reason about technical architecture, and partner as a true peer with engineering counterparts
• 0-to-1 Product Chops: A proven track record of taking raw ideas from concept to early product-market fit, running discovery, and turning qualitative data into immediate execution
• Agentic AI Fluency: You leverage modern AI primitives daily (e.g., Cursor agents, LLM orchestration) and treat AI as a structural foundation to build products
• Tastemaker: Strong product sense and design ability. You develop mid-fidelity prototypes independently when required without a designer
• Core Data Analysis Skills: Exceptional ability to work with fragmented usage data, behavioral metrics, and qualitative research to generate fast insights
• Process and Workflow Encoding: Capable of breaking complex, friction-filled global industries down to their primitives and encoding those workflows into digital products
• Extreme Ownership and Speed: You default to action, thrive in unmapped environments, and possess a massive tolerance for ambiguity
• Past Founder or Co-Founder: Experience starting a venture-backed company or acting as the first product hire at an early-stage startup
• Guerilla Growth Hacker: Experience building scrappy, self-serve funnels, setting up manual concierge MVPs, or running rapid landing page tests to capture demand
• Complex Systems Exposure: Experience navigating fintech, marketplaces, web3, or heavily regulated global compliance frameworks
