Knit - Lead Product Manager

A little about us… Knit is the AI-native consumer research platform helping brands automate and accelerate primary research. With our Researcher-Driven AI, we’ve condensed the entire quant + qual research process from weeks into days (sometimes hours!) for 50+ enterprise brands — including Amazon, T-Mobile, Mars, NASCAR, and more. We’re on a mission to scale and democratize world-class research. From survey generation to stakeholder-ready reports, our platform is redefining how insights teams operate — and we need your help to push the limits of what’s possible. Overview We're hiring a Lead Product Manager to help redefine what customer understanding looks like in an AI-native world. You'll own a meaningful product surface end-to-end, drive company-level bets, and operate as a senior voice in how Knit thinks about product strategy, AI craft, and customer value. You'll ship in two-week cycles alongside one of the strongest engineering benches you'll find at this stage. You'll partner closely with our Director of Product, CTO, CEO, on-staff PhD-level Researchers, and Engineering Leads. This is a force multiplier role in a senior-heavy team, and at this level, we expect your judgment and conviction to shape not just what you ship, but what Knit becomes. Outcomes Success in this role is defined by sharper product decisions, stronger execution, and measurable customer and business impact on the surface you own. Customer adoption of shipped work: Usage and adoption rates of new and materially updated capabilities within our target ICP. Product velocity and roadmap reliability: Consistent shipping against outcome-driven commitments, with fewer mid-stream changes and clearer scope on what's in vs. out. Customer and business impact: Expansion revenue, win rate, retention, and customer value creation attributable to your product work. Cross-functional coherence: Engineering, Research, and GTM operating from one shared reality about what matters most, and why. Strategic contribution: Bets you've brought to the table, backed by customer conviction and market insight, that shaped the roadmap beyond your own surface. Responsibilities | What you will own... Primary responsibilities of this role: Own a Meaningful Product Surface End-to-End Drive the full lifecycle of your product surface, from discovery to delivery to adoption. Write crisp specs, prioritize ruthlessly, and partner with engineering. Own outcomes, not outputs. At this level, we expect you to define the surface you’re working on in addition to executing against it. Build Direct Customer Intuition Spend meaningful, consistent time with customers. Work alongside our PhD-level Researchers, but bring your own developed point of view on how users and buyers at Fortune 1000 brands think, what they need, and where the market is moving. Make AI-Native Product Decisions Own the AI layer of your surface: eval strategies, quality loops, failure-mode design, when to trust the model versus defer to humans. This
