Senior Product Manager

ABOUT RETELL AI

Retell AI is using the first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting edge voice AI.

Thousands of companies now utilize Retell's AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $60M ARR with a team of 40 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025.

Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we're creating intelligent AI "workers" that can act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers - continuously executing, monitoring, and improving customer interactions.

We're growing quickly and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move fast, and have real impact at one of the fastest-growing voice AI startups.

Let's build the future together.

• Drive cross-functional execution by planning, sequencing, and tracking product initiatives to ensure timely delivery, clear ownership, and alignment across engineering, design, and stakeholders.
• Validate solutions with customers early and often , using prototypes, betas, and rapid iterations to ensure we are solving the right problems before scaling investments.
• Establish product rituals that keep the organization customer-focused , including roadmap planning grounded in customer evidence, prioritization frameworks tied to impact, and clear communication of tradeoffs and decisions.
