As Staff Product Manager for Corporate Spend, you will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Coast's next-generation AI-powered expense management products. Your mission is to expand fleets that currently use Coast for fuel spend into customers who run all company spend through the platform by identifying barriers and building solutions.
You will partner closely with engineering, design, data, and cross-functional teams (Risk, Legal, Customer Success, Sales) to create intelligent experiences that help customers save money, reduce risk, and eliminate manual work. This role blends AI-native product development—including LLM-powered workflows, evaluation systems, and human-in-the-loop design—with deep product judgment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Conduct discovery through user interviews, competitive research, and data analysis; present findings with conviction and rigor
- Synthesize customer insights with technical possibilities to craft intuitive, complexity-reducing user experiences
- Drive high-velocity execution with engineers and designers, balancing principled intuition with data-driven decision-making
- Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to accelerate development and reach production-ready products
- Improve AI-driven product development processes
- Craft compelling messaging around upcoming features
- Enable sales and marketing teams to communicate effectively with customers
- Stay deeply engaged with AI research, industry trends, and emergent applications; apply insights creatively to Coast's product

Requirements:

- Strong product judgment and first-principles thinking across complex workflows, data products, integrations, and user experiences
- World-class design and product taste
- AI fluency and passion, demonstrated through hands-on experience building AI features, prototypes, or side projects; understanding of evaluation, retrieval, latency, cost, safety, and accuracy tradeoffs
- Comfort collaborating in technical environments (Figma, Git) and using modern prototyping tools (Claude Code, Cursor)
- Fluency with experimentation and product metrics; strong instincts for when qualitative customer discovery is needed
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams with urgency and ownership; ability to set direction, make tradeoffs, and deliver measurable outcomes
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills; ability to translate between subject matter experts, technical teams, and non-technical stakeholders
