Strategic Product Manager

Surge AI

Our mission is to inject human values and human intelligence into AI.
Our vision is to enable human-aligned, (super)human-level AI.

About Surge AI

At Surge AI, we’re making AGI possible. As the world’s largest platform for data labeling and RLHF, we deliver industry-leading, high-quality data that powers the most advanced LLMs. We’re a team of former employees from Google, Meta, and X and we partner with top companies who are shaping the future of machine learning.

The role

As a Strategic Product Manager at Surge, you'll lead initiatives that directly impact our products and our customers. You'll collaborate closely with engineering and operations teams’ to solve our most complex challenges. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in rapidly scaling, high-ambiguity environments. You should be able to seamlessly pivot between daily customer calls, detailed execution in operations and product, and strategic business development conversations.

Key responsibilities

Drive customer-centric product development by deeply understanding pain points and delivering impactful solutions, while overseeing project execution and account management activities.
Establish and expand scalable systems, products, and processes to enhance customer support and value delivery, coordinating with engineering to implement necessary features.
Gather and leverage data-driven insights to improve customer models and our ability to consistently enhance their performance.

Successful candidates have

Experience in product management or related roles within high-performing product companies, with a proven track record of navigating ambiguity and executing complex projects.
Strong analytical skills and data-driven approach, coupled with experience in market research, competitive analysis, and deriving actionable product insights.
Deep interest in AI systems (direct AI/ML experience valued but not required) and excellent project management skills, including the ability to oversee project teams and collaborate effectively across departments.
A commitment to making the next generation of AI models safer and more useful.
