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
