ABOUT THE ROLE AND OUR TEAM Nearly every couple takes on one of the most complex, emotional, high-stakes projects of their lives largely on their own: hundreds of decisions, dozens of vendors, and more than a year of sustained work. AI finally makes it possible to make this process easier, so couples can focus on the joy of planning a wedding. We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to define and build a brand new AI product in the wedding space from zero to one. Operating with startup-like autonomy inside the industry's dominant brand, you will have total craft ownership to define what an intelligent experience in this space should be. In this role, you will leverage assets that took decades to create and that no competitor can replicate, including the industry's deepest vendor graph, decades of behavioral data, and the trust of a brand couples already rely on for the biggest day of their lives. You aren't just adding AI to an existing workflow; you are building a category defining product from the ground up at startup speed. RESPONSIBILITIES Own from strategy to shipped product: rapid prototypes, early user cohorts, iteration loops, and launch. You define the roadmap and are accountable for the outcomes. Own the market case, not just the product. Define who this is for, what it is called, where couples encounter it, why it wins, and over time how it becomes a durable business. You will build the positioning and category narrative together with Product Marketing and carry it into the roadmap rather than receiving it after the fact. Define what a trustworthy AI is. When it guides, when it asks, when it acts, and how couples stay in control at every step. Your point of view here shapes the product's foundation. Run a rapid build-measure-learn loop. Prototype weekly, put work in front of users and experts early, and kill ideas fast when the evidence says to. Own the measurement and the unit economics. Define what success means for a product with no internal precedent, instrument it, and know what each #J-18808-Ljbffr
