Product Manager (Senior Level) at Premise
About Premise
We’re an early-stage startup building a new kind of product for Hollywood—rethinking how stories are developed and managed from the first spark of an idea through collaborative development across creative executives and writers.
We believe great tools don’t just manage processes — they inspire better work. By combining proven storytelling frameworks with powerful collaboration features, we’re reimagining how the industry’s best ideas come to life.
In essence, we’re building Figma for Hollywood.
We’re a small, passionate founding team with deep experience in technology and entertainment. We’re looking for our first hire to help shape not just our product, but our culture, processes, and future.
The Role
We’re looking for a product leader to take ownership of the product from 0→1. You’ll work closely with the founding team and external design partners to define and build the first versions of the product, and ensure it finds strong pull in the market.
Success requires sound judgment, strong product instincts, hands-on execution, and the ability to align stakeholders and prioritize with clarity while maintaining momentum.
What You’ll Do
Own the product end-to-end and lead 0→1: Define what we’re building, why it matters, and how it comes to life—from concept to shipped product
Prioritize ruthlessly and align stakeholders: Make focused tradeoffs while bringing founders, creatives, and partners (and their strong opinions) along
Lead user research and partner deeply with design and engineering: Conduct hands-on research and work closely with builders to bring a cohesive, high-quality experience to life
Own and shape GTM: Build deep customer insight to define segments, positioning, and pricing/packaging
Establish early traction and product-market fit: Set up tight feedback loops, measure adoption, and iterate quickly to find what resonates
Establish product practices and help build the company: Create just enough process to enable speed while helping recruit and grow the product team
Who You Are
0→1 builder: You’ve brought new products to life in ambiguous, early-stage environments
High agency, low ego: You take ownership without being attached to titles
Excellent at alignment: You synthesize diverse inputs, mediate strong opinions, and maintain a clear North Star
Hands-on: Adept at shaping UX, writing specs, and working closely with design and eng
Taste matters: You care deeply about storytelling, craft, aesthetics, and user experience
Passionate about storytelling: You have a deep interest in film, TV, or storytelling in general
Nice-to-have: Experience in media, entertainment, creative/collaboration tools
Competitive salary + meaningful equity
Premise. Because good stories change lives. And great stories change the world.
