Many companies talk about culture, but few treat it with the same care & discipline as a product. From Day 1, Coactive has been intentional about building a culture that promotes diversity of people & ideas. As a result, they've built an environment where you aren't limited by what you've done before, and rather have a platform to live up to your potential. This place is special, and you can feel it the moment you walk in the door. Josh Heller Chief Revenue Officer This company is filled with intelligent, gritty people who bring unique perspectives and fresh ideas everyday. I've never worked with such a diverse team before. Having been the only woman or one of very few women on multiple previous teams, I observe that many places tend towards treating diversity as an afterthought. Mehul Smriti Raje Machine Learning Engineer Working at this company has been a truly rewarding experience from the start. Even as a contractor, I was welcomed like a full-time employee, becoming part of a supportive and friendly family. The opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technology on challenging problems, alongside some of the most expert people in the field, combined with generous benefits and the chance to travel and connect with the team in person, makes every day both exciting and fulfilling.

Product If you’re a product leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves solving complex customer problems, and is driven to build AI-powered products that make a tangible impact, this is your role. At Coactive, we’re looking for a Product Manager who not only defines what to build, but deeply understands
why
it matters. Someone who blends curiosity, creativity, technical understanding, and customer empathy to drive both adoption and outcomes. This is a high-impact, high-visibility opportunity to shape the product direction of an ambitious AI company. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to validate hypotheses, enable our GTM teams, and deliver products that reduce time to value for Media & Entertainment customers. If you think like a
product owner,
accountable to both users and the business, you’ll thrive here. What You’ll Do
Customer Discovery & Problem Framing Engage directly with customers in the Media & Entertainment space to understand their workflows, pain points, and untapped opportunities. Spend time in the field with customers to understand their workflows, challenges, and goals. Become an expert in customer domains and translate real-world insights & problems into actionable product strategy. Conduct field research, lightweight prototyping, and testing to validate user hypotheses before investing in full-scale development. Own the end-to-end lifecycle of new product development, from alpha through beta to GA. Define product roadmaps grounded in customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact. Identify the right product levers to drive adoption, reduce time to sale, and accelerate customer success. Iterative Development & Execution Establish a strong hypothesis-driven product development loop, continuously experimenting and learning from users. Lead structured product discovery efforts grounded in hypothesis testing and feedback loops. Use both qualitative feedback and quantitative signals to prioritize, validate, and iterate on features. Collaborate closely with engineering, ML, design, customer solutions, and sales to ship usable, lovable, and scalable features. Go-to-Market Enablement & Adoption Partner with sales and customer success to enable successful launches, define training and onboarding materials, and shorten ramp times for GTM teams. Design and manage beta programs to gather early feedback, build champions, and refine feature sets. Ensure each product release is coupled with clear messaging, enablement, and adoption strategies. Strategic Impact & Vision Contribute to the company’s long-term product strategy by identifying opportunities where AI can drive transformative value for our customers. Influence leadership and stakeholders through clear, evidence-backed communication of product bets and tradeoffs. Act as a thought partner in applying AI meaningfully, especially in multimodal domains like video, audio, and text. What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in product management, ideally at early-stage or high-growth startups. Proven success building and scaling enterprise or data/AI-powered products from concept to scale.

Strong understanding of AI technologies including computer vision, natural language processing, and multimodal learning. Experience working with technical teams on rapid iteration, experimentation, and continuous delivery.
