Animoca Brands is seeking a Vertical AI Product Manager to own the end-to-end product experience for a vertical domain within Minds, their core application and ecosystem (which includes Specialist, Quest, and 3D World features with a large existing user base).
You will be the primary owner of your vertical's product strategy, user experience, transaction conversion, and retention loops. Your core responsibilities include:
• Own the complete product experience for your vertical domain, including dedicated Specialist Mind(s), core user journeys, transaction conversion, and retention mechanics.
• Define and achieve key OKRs: weekly/daily active users (WAU/DAU) within your vertical and transaction volume completed, along with retention and conversion metrics for traffic flowing into your vertical. You will drive execution with strong urgency.
• Determine the go-to-market (GTM) path by prioritizing the Minds main application and ecosystem. Make data-driven decisions about whether and when to build custom front-end experiences.
• Own the partner and ecosystem integration roadmap for your vertical (e.g., booking, e-commerce, or payment partners for travel, restaurants, etc.). Drive these partnerships from concept to operational feature integration, not just PowerPoint presentations.
• Pull polished, market-ready product modules from the GTM product team and apply them to your vertical. Collaborate with marketing on positioning and user acquisition.
• Develop deep user understanding of your vertical domain. Identify user jobs, critical moments, and pain points unique to your space. Apply AI extensively in user research, prototyping, and rapid iteration to achieve traditional team-level velocity as an individual contributor.
You will work cross-functionally with engineering, design, data, marketing, and GTM teams. This role requires leading without formal authority and owning P&L-like business outcomes.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 5+ years of product management experience with a proven track record of independently owning a product module and significantly improving key business metrics (particularly user growth and revenue/transaction volume, not just on-time feature delivery).
• Full-stack product mastery: equally proficient in user research, UX design, business partnerships, GTM, and commercialization outcomes. Strong product taste, sharp prioritization judgment, cross-functional execution ability, and data-driven instincts.
• Transactional or two-sided marketplace mindset: understand user conversion, monetization, and repeat purchase mechanics; ability to build product mechanisms that close these loops.
• Native AI product thinking: deep understanding of agentic AI and large language models (what they can and cannot do); ability to assess feasibility and make trade-offs with engineering teams; daily habit of using AI tools to accelerate your own work.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to lead without authority.
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
• Gaming product experience (especially candidates with both gaming and non-gaming product backgrounds, as Minds is gamifying real-world tasks).
• Experience building custom front-end experiences when necessary.
• Familiarity with transaction, booking, or payment API integrations.
