Full Job Description
About the Role
Overview

As a Product Manager at Meadow, you'll embed within one of our Product Engineering pods to own its roadmap, run discovery with schools, and decide what we build and why. Product, Design, and Engineering all join early-stage discovery conversations with schools' Student Accounts offices, so you'll be shaping solutions alongside the people who build and use the product from day one.

We're looking for a Product Manager who is excited about building in both traditional UI and newer agentic paradigms. You should be comfortable working with LLMs and MCPs, and interested in building Meadow's own agents and connectors. Projects might range from traditional checkout UX on a point-of-sale device to agent orchestration and live trace analysis of our billing support agent.

This is a full-time position reporting to Nathan, Meadow's Chief Product Officer.

What You'll Do
  • You'll own the roadmap for your pod, and prioritize its work against Meadow's strategic business goals.
  • You'll be the voice of your pod across the company. CX, Sales, and Leadership should always understand what you're building, why, and when it ships.
  • You'll build relationships with Student Accounts offices at a handful of partner schools, meet with them regularly, and ship products they plan to adopt.
  • You'll run discovery, define scope, and write clear specs that give designers and engineers what they need to move fast.
  • You'll explore where agents can replace or augment traditional workflows for schools and students.
  • You'll define success metrics up front, then use data to report back on whether a project moved the needle - and be candid about what we learned when it didn't.
  • You'll ship multiple high-impact products within your first six months that contribute to meaningful product expansion.
About You
What Your Bring
  • 3+ Years of Experience in Product Management
    • 01 Product Development Experience and/or Experience at an Early Stage Startup (Seed, Series A, Series B)
  • Builder Mindset: High Agency x High Urgency
    • You own problems end-to-end.
    • You make consequential decisions that impact outcomes.
  • Strong Written and Verbal Communication Skills: You can make a case to an engineer and a school's CFO in the same afternoon.
  • You don't need to be a technical PM - i.e. to be able to write SQL or HTML or JavaScript. But, you should be able to use AI to understand our codebase well enough to gauge what's hard vs. easy, and to hold your own in conversations with our Product Designers and Software Engineers.
What Makes You Stand Out
  • Active Use of AI Tools in Your Workflow
  • Exposure to FinTech or Payments
