[Hiring] Head of Product / Senior Product Manager @VIDRUSH AI STUDIOS LLP

Role Description

We have a talented engineering team and junior PM support, but we lack a strategic anchor. Currently, the CEO is the only bridge between business goals and technical execution, leading to vague PRDs and sprints cluttered with low-priority tasks. We need a Head of Product with 3–7 years of experience to take full ownership of the "What" and "Why." You will be the person who translates high-level vision into airtight requirements, holds the team accountable to high quality standards, and relentlessly cuts anything that doesn't drive revenue or retention.

What You’ll Do

• Strategy & Roadmap Ownership:
  • Define the 4–12 week product strategy with clear milestones and success criteria.
  • Act as the final filter for the roadmap: evaluate every feature against revenue impact and growth potential.
  • Conduct deep competitor analysis (Opus Clip, Descript, Submagic) to ensure VidRush maintains its "category-defining" edge.
• High-Fidelity Execution:
  • Airtight PRDs: Take over and refine all Product Requirement Documents. Every spec must include acceptance criteria, edge cases, and a clear split between frontend/backend responsibilities to eliminate developer guesswork.
  • Jira Mastery: Own the backlog hygiene and sprint planning. Move beyond "moving tickets" to using velocity data to improve delivery predictability.
  • Process Design: Establish lightweight rituals (two-pass syncs, async notes) that work across distributed time zones.
• Managing R&D & AI Work:
  • Structure unpredictable AI experimentation using time-boxed "spikes."
  • Bridge the gap between R&D exploration and product reality, ensuring research stays aligned with business goals rather than chasing every new model trend.
• Team Leadership:
  • Manage and mentor the existing PM team (Nayana + Project Manager).
  • Be the "First Line of Defense" against scope creep, pushing back on bad ideas—even from the CEO—to protect team velocity.

Qualifications

• 3–7 years of Product Management experience, preferably at a high-growth startup (YC-backed, Series A+, or top-tier Turkish tech like Peak, Dream Games, or Getir).
• You must understand the nuances of building with non-deterministic systems (LLMs/Generative AI) and how that impacts roadmap planning.
• You take pride in documentation. Your requirements leave zero room for ambiguity.
• You have a "Bias to Action." You prefer a shipped feature over a perfect slide deck.
• You are comfortable jumping into Discord or hopping on calls with power users to turn messy feedback into actionable insights.
• Direct, candid, and persuasive communication. You align stakeholders without creating friction.

How We Work

• Small Team, High Ownership: You will drive outcomes directly. There is no room for performative process here.
• Speed is a Feature: We value crisp requirements followed by fast iteration.
• Remote-First: We coordinate across time zones but require a minimum of 6 hours overlap with Turkish business hours (UTC+3).
