You will partner closely with Design, Engineering, Solutions Consulting, Customer Success, and Documentation to remove operational bottlenecks, improve discoverability, and make adoption truly self-serve at scale.
You Will- As a founding PM on the Self-Serve team, you will define how Zip accelerates onboarding, activation, and expansion in its next phase of growth.
- Build AI-powered onboarding and configuration systems that reduce manual setup, detect issues proactively, and dramatically compress time-to-go-live.
- Own infrastructure such as sandbox environments and configuration versioning and promotion - enabling customers to iterate safely while increasing deployment velocity.
- Define and evolve an AI-powered product adoption tooling and framework that improves feature discoverability, delivers contextual in-product guidance, and proactively surfaces expansion opportunities.
- Partner with Documentation and Education teams to embed AI-native guidance directly into the product experience - including dynamic "Getting Started" flows, troubleshooting assistance, and contextual recommendations.
- Work cross-functionally with Customer Success and Solutions Consulting teams to build reusable systems and processes that power scalable onboarding, rollout automation, and operational efficiency across the organization.
Qualifications- 2-4+ years of product management and 4-8+ years of overall professional experience; experience working on SaaS onboarding, activation or platform tooling is a plus.
- Ability to break down ambiguous operational and configuration challenges into structured systems and scalable solutions.
- Demonstrated comfort owning operationally intensive product areas - including migrations, versioning, enablement workflows, and cross-functional coordination - and turning repetitive processes into scalable frameworks.
- Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives across product, engineering, design, sales, customer success, and documentation teams, influencing without authority.
- Strong analytical skills and comfort defining measurable adoption and growth metrics.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for diverse audiences.
