Product Manager, AI Products

Coactive makes it easy to search, filter, and analyze visual content. Increasingly image and video data captures the content we watch, the products we buy, and the work we do, and already represents 80% of internet traffic. But rather than being an asset, visual content is often a tax or even a liability because it is so hard to work with and understand. Coactive solves this by bringing structure to unstructured visual data. Rather than spending months (or years) building complex infrastructure, data teams can unlock the value of their visual data in minutes to power use cases such as content understanding and moderation, search, and analytics.

Coactive was founded by experts who shaped the fields of high-performance deep learning and data-centric AI. We have the scars from building and working with the first generation of modern machine learning systems at Google, Meta, Pinterest, eBay, Lyft, and other leading organizations. Through our decades of experience, we have developed a playbook to democratize the toughest parts of machine learning systems; no PhD required.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work with one of Forbes' top 50 AI companies, backed by key investors such as Andreesen Horowitz and Bessemer Ventures. This position is truly a chance to be part of a category-defining team that is attracting top-tier talent interested in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI. 

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.
