We're looking for a strategic and execution minded Product Management & Strategy lead to guide early-stage B2B AI ventures from formation through to spin out (see our process here). In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of venture strategy, product development and founder support - shaping ideas, validating markets and ensuring MVPs ship and evolve.
You'll play a hands-on role across multiple ventures simultaneously, partnering with founders, technical teams and studio leadership to push concepts forward and de-risk them into scalable startups.
You'll Work On
Venture Formation
Guide venture teams from validated ideas to spin-out readiness
Act as a dual advocate - representing both venture interests and FutureSights's strategic lens
Keep 3-5 parallel venture tracks on cadence through structured reviews, blockers and internal alignment
Product Development
Lead product discovery, roadmap planning, and MVP scoping for active ventures
Work closely with technical leads to prioritize features and execute lean product builds
Serve as interim product owner in early stages; hands off ownership as teams mature
Founder & Team Development
Thought partner to EIRs; coach on early go-to-market motions, user research, and product feedback loops
Support recruiting for key hires (e.g. founding engineers, Technical Co-founders)
Internal Tools & Studio IP
Oversee internal product initiatives for Idea generation, Recruiting automation, venture platform boilerplate
Align product tooling with venture formation needs
Studio Operations (as needed)
Manage platform tools (GCP, AWS, OpenAI, Github etc)
Triage ad-hoc requests from the studio team: events, communications, marketing touchpoints.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
Prior experience at a venture studio or as a Software startup founder
5-8+ years of product management, venture building or early-stage startups
Proven ability to own product from zero-to-one across multiple domains
Hands-on with early product work -- wireframes, JTBDs, quick specs, etc.
Strong user discovery skills -- comfortable leading interviews and synthesizing insights
Able to work with ambiguity and move quickly without perfect information
Strong founder empathy and the ability to balance coaching with forward momentum
Familiar with lean startup, customer development, and MVP best practices
Excellent communication and project manager skills -- internally and externally
Bonus Experience
Technical background or ability to collaborate closely with engineers
Benefits
Why This Role?
You'll shape 3-5 ventures from napkin sketch to spin-out, driving discovery MVP early traction with real autonomy. You'll ship weekly, test with real customers, and turn hard-won lessons into reusable studio IP that compounds across the portfolio. As a founder-facing leader, you'll coach EIRs, influence roadmaps, and help make early hires while partnering with studio leadership on investment theses, spin-out criteria, and GTM bets. The role offers portfolio-scale impact, a strategic seat at the table, and career optionality to step into a founding/operator role or grow within the studio--anchored in crisp thinking and clean execution, not process theater.
