Encord is building the universal data layer for AI, helping 300+ AI teams train and run models on the right data. The platform indexes, curates, annotates, and evaluates data across the full AI lifecycle. Backed by $60M in Series C funding from Wellington Management, CRV, Next47, and Y Combinator, the company works with leading enterprises including Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, and Zipline.
As Product Lead, you will own a meaningful slice of the product spanning the core platform experience and data curation/exploration layer, driving it from strategy through to customer outcomes. You will lead and grow a team of Product Managers, setting direction, raising the bar on craft, and multiplying your impact through them. You will work closely with Engineering, ML, Design, and Customer Success, and play an active role in Encord's enterprise go-to-market motion.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own and manage the product roadmap across your areas, ensuring alignment with company goals, KPIs, and enterprise customer needs
- Manage, coach, and develop Product Managers: setting clear goals, giving regular feedback, reviewing specs and decisions, and accelerating their growth
- Set the standard for product craft across the team: discovery, prioritization, spec quality, and shipping cadence
- Lead customer discovery, interviews, problem validation, webinars, and demos, translating complex pain points into clear, winning product bets
- Partner with Sales and Customer Success to drive upsell, cross-sell, and expansion within largest enterprise accounts
- Collaborate with Engineering and Design to ship high-quality features at pace, writing tight specs, making clear tradeoffs, and holding a high bar for what ships
- Play a leading role in building a high-performing, collaborative product management culture as the team grows
This is a high-autonomy role for someone comfortable making independent decisions and driving them through. The opportunity centers on solving novel problems in the data layer for AI—there is no existing playbook. You'll work on tooling that scales from 10-person startups to 500-person AV teams, and help turn floods of raw data into high-signal training datasets. Product is represented at the highest levels at Encord; you'll have real ownership, visible impact, and an accelerated trajectory.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience in product, ideally including time at a rapidly scaling startup; you have seen an organization scale and know what good product looks like at each stage
- Experience managing or formally mentoring other product managers, or a clear track record of leading through others and a strong desire to step into people management
- Proven experience on B2B SaaS products or technical products sold to enterprise customers; you understand the enterprise sales motion, expansion, and how product decisions connect to revenue
- You speak in metrics and impact, not features shipped; you have worked closely with GTM teams and can tie product decisions to business outcomes
- A self-starter who makes independent decisions and drives them through; you want ownership, not just input; you are energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it
- You love speaking to customers; you are curious about hard problems at the frontier of AI and anticipate needs before customers can fully articulate them
- Excellent communication skills for leading internal sessions and external engagements, customer interviews, demos, and stakeholder presentations
