Senior Product Manager: New Verticals

San Francisco, CAProduct ManagementOnsite5+ YOE
Summary

Senior PM driving expansion into new home service verticals. Own market discovery, research synthesis, opportunity prioritization, product definition, and launch for AI-powered workflow products.

About the role

What you’ll own

New vertical discovery

  • Identify and evaluate new home service and field service categories where Broccoli should expand next
  • Build a clear view of customer pain, market size, workflow complexity, competitive landscape, integration needs, and go-to-market feasibility

Market research and synthesis

  • Interview customers and prospects, shadow workflows, analyze transcripts and product data
  • Turn messy research into clear product and strategy recommendations

Opportunity sizing and prioritization

  • Compare verticals and product wedges based on urgency of pain, willingness to pay, AI feasibility, implementation complexity, sales motion, and potential customer P&L impact

Product definition

  • Turn research into crisp product direction
  • Write specs built around the “why,” define the initial wedge, create basic mockups when useful, and give engineering enough clarity to move quickly

Design partner development

  • Work with sales and customer success to identify the right early customers for new verticals
  • Build tight feedback loops and avoid overfitting to one account

Launch and learning loops

  • Coordinate with sales, customer success, and marketing when new vertical products ship
  • Define success metrics, track outcomes, and drive the honest conversation about what worked, what didn’t, and what we should do next

Who we’re looking for

Must-haves

  • Deep customer curiosity: You want to understand how businesses actually work: workflows, incentives, edge cases, economics, and operational reality
  • Strong market judgment: You can evaluate a market from first principles and separate a promising opportunity from a noisy one
  • High agency: You bring structure to ambiguity, move without being told, and own outcomes end to end
  • Strong business judgment: You prioritize based on customer impact, Broccoli’s strategic advantage, speed to market, and long-term expansion potential
  • AI-first product thinking: You default to asking what is now possible with AI, not what traditional SaaS products have done before. You’ve built agents, AI-powered workflows, or AI-native product experiences yourself
  • Clear communication: You can turn messy research into sharp strategy docs, specs, launch briefs, and founder-ready recommendations
  • Excited to work in-office five days a week: This role requires close collaboration with the founders and the team

Strong plus

  • Former founder, or a PM who has operated like one
  • Experience expanding into new markets, segments, or verticals
  • Experience at a high-growth B2B startup, especially Series A to C
  • Home services, field service, vertical SaaS, or service operations experience
  • Experience with sales-led or design-partner-led product development

Not a fit

  • Your PM experience is primarily sprint facilitation, stakeholder alignment, or process management
  • You prefer being handed a roadmap rather than figuring out what should be on it
  • You are uncomfortable with ambiguity, field research, or direct customer exposure
  • You have not owned a product, market, or business outcome end to end
  • You think of AI mainly as a feature layer on top of existing SaaS workflows
