About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our team and help shape the future of Peatix as we redefine how people connect through shared experiences. This is a unique opportunity to lead product strategy at a time when AI is broadening what’s possible—from how we build products and uncover insights to how we improve user experiences and deliver value at scale.
In this role, you will own a high-impact product area and play a key role in defining our long-term vision, developing customer-centric strategies, and driving business outcomes. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Design, and Business, and contribute to the evolution of our product practice by exploring how AI can be utilized thoughtfully to improve decision-making, streamline workflows, and spark product innovation.
What You’ll Do
- Collaborate closely with design, engineering, and business stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes
- Lead product prioritization by balancing user needs, business goals, and team capacity
- Drive the product lifecycle—from discovery to delivery and continuous improvement
- Leverage AI-enabled tools and practices (e.g. low/no-code prototyping, prompt engineering, data storytelling) to accelerate discovery, ideation, decision-making, and communication
- Define and monitor success metrics, using data to inform decisions and iterate on the product
- Conduct deep user and market research to uncover new opportunities
- Stay current with AI trends and explore practical applications to create value
- Communicate product goals, decisions, and progress clearly across the team and to stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in product management or a related field
- A track record of successfully launching and scaling products that deliver measurable impact
- Strong understanding of, or genuine interest in, AI technologies
- Familiarity with modern product development practices and use of AI-enabled tools in your workflow (e.g. for prototyping, writing, or analysis)
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across functions, cultures, time zones, and locations
- Strong product intuition supported by analytical thinking and attention to detail
- Comfortable engaging in technical conversations and collaborating with engineers to make trade-offs
- Self-starter mindset with a bias for action and accountability
Bonus Points
- Conversational-level Japanese or above
- Experience applying AI to improve workflows, decision-making, or product discovery
- Proficiency in data analysis; comfortable using SQL or AI-assisted tools to derive insights and drive decisions
- Familiarity with event, creator, or community platforms, or a personal interest in organizing or attending events
Location
We support remote work and you can be based anywhere in Japan. We encourage visits to the Tokyo office when meaningful conversations or collaboration would benefit from in-person interaction. These touchpoints help product managers better understand our users, build context, and strengthen team alignment.
You’ll be part of a globally distributed team working across Japan, Southeast Asia, Australia, and North America.
