Product Manager (Product + Execution)

VidRush is an AI-native video production platform that replaces an entire video team with coordinated AI agents.

Creators turn a simple idea into a fully produced, long-form video—research, script, voiceover, visuals, motion graphics, and rendering—in under an hour. No timelines. No editing headaches. Just intent → finished video.

We’re building a new way to create video that feels more like writing than editing, and we’re already seeing strong traction from serious creators and media teams.

If you’re excited about AI, creator tools, and building category-defining products from first principles, you’ll fit right in.

The Role

We’re hiring a Product Manager to streamline execution and product delivery across multiple teams , including both standard development and R&D/AI work.

You’ll work directly with founders and engineering leads to:

define strategy and priorities

translate that strategy into clear requirements

manage cross-team execution in Jira

enforce accountability, visibility, and predictable delivery

help the team ship high-quality work faster without chaos

This role blends classic product thinking with strong Product Ops / Delivery instincts.

What You’ll Do

Strategy & Prioritization

Help define the product strategy for the next 4–12 weeks

Translate company goals into a focused roadmap

Make tradeoffs and say “no” when necessary to protect velocity

Requirements & Planning

Write clear, concrete feature requirements before development starts

Align frontend and backend expectations early to avoid mismatches late

Define ownership: who’s responsible for what, and what “done” means

Execution & Accountability

Own Jira: maintain a clean backlog, run sprint planning, and drive follow-through

Track progress and surface blockers early (before a task stalls for weeks)

Improve team velocity and visibility across time zones

Managing R&D / AI Work

Structure exploration work using “spikes” and experiments

Reduce endless trial-and-error by defining:

why the experiment exists

what success looks like

how long it runs before a decision is made

Keep research aligned to strategy rather than constantly chasing new trends

Team Process

Establish lightweight rituals that actually help (standups, planning, retros)

Create meeting structures that work across time zones (e.g., two-pass sync + notes)

Improve internal documentation and communication flow

What We’re Looking For (Most Important)

Strong experience shipping product in fast-moving environments

Excellent at writing requirements that eliminate ambiguity

Confident prioritizer: can protect focus and reduce roadmap chaos

Highly organized and execution-driven: you push work to completion

Deep Jira experience (backlog hygiene, sprint planning, workflows)

Able to coordinate distributed teams across time zones

Great communicator: you align stakeholders without creating friction

Comfortable working with technical teams, including AI/R&D workflows

Nice to Have

Experience with creator tools, media products, or video workflows

Experience managing hybrid teams (product + R&D + engineering)

Strong background as a business analyst or product ops lead

Experience building internal systems/processes from scratch

How We Work

Small team, high ownership — you’ll drive outcomes directly

Lightweight process: crisp requirements, fast iteration, measurable results

Strong bias to action and clarity

We value execution, not performative process
