Senior Product Manager, AI
Tonic.aiAbout the role
Tonic.ai, a fast-growing Series B SaaS company at the intersection of AI and data privacy, is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the vision for Tonic Textual. As AI initiatives move from prototype to production, the need to safely handle unstructured data (PDFs, chats, audio, and more) has become the primary bottleneck for the modern enterprise. Tonic Textual is the industry’s leading solution for instantly identifying and removing sensitive data from these formats, enabling teams to safely power RAG systems, train LLMs, and advance AI innovation without compromising privacy.
This is a role for a builder with a founder mentality who thrives on end-to-end ownership. You will be responsible for the high-level strategy of our unstructured data platform, bridging the gap between cutting-edge LLM research and enterprise-grade reliability.
What You’ll Do:
Define the AI Privacy Strategy & Roadmap: Lead the long-term vision for Tonic Textual. You will own the roadmap for proprietary NER models and custom entity workflows, identifying how to protect data across the entire AI lifecycle, from ingestion to RAG enrichment.
Execute with a Bias Toward Action: Move fast to turn messy document stores into "AI-ready" assets. We need a builder who thrives in ambiguity and is eager to ship high-impact features without waiting for perfect consensus.
Go Deep on the AI Ecosystem: Dive into the technical weeds of LLMs, RAG architectures, and NLP research. You’ll serve as a subject matter expert, ensuring Textual remains a foundational component of the modern, enterprise-scale AI stack.
Drive "Model-Based" Innovation: Lead the development of self-serve tools that allow users to train tailored entity-detection models, effectively democratizing data science for privacy teams in highly-regulated industries.
Strategic Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Engineering and Research to push the boundaries of synthesis while collaborating with Sales and Marketing to evangelize our category-defining solution to the market.
What You’ll Bring:
Founder Mentality: Ideally you’re a former founder or have a proven track record of acting like one, taking extreme end-to-end ownership of outcomes, experimenting relentlessly, and operating with a high degree of autonomy.
Deep AI & Technical Curiosity: A desire to go deep into the technical weeds of the AI space. You should have a sophisticated understanding of (or an obsession with) LLMs, RAG architectures, and NLP. You can hold your own in architectural debates with engineers and data scientists.
Bias Toward Action: A track record of navigating the "messy middle" of a rapidly evolving market. You prefer shipping and iterating over long planning cycles and are comfortable making high-stakes decisions with imperfect data.
Scale-Up Experience: 5+ years of product management experience in high-growth B2B SaaS, specifically within AI/ML, developer tools, or data infrastructure. You know how to take a product from initial traction to market-leading scale in a rapidly shifting technical landscape.
Strategic Storytelling: The ability to translate complex technical concepts, like embedding privacy or tokenization, into compelling narratives for C-level executives and technical buyers alike.
Timezone Synchronicity: Ability to work a schedule that aligns with East Coast (EST) business hours to ensure high-bandwidth collaboration with internal partners.
Why This Opportunity:
This is a chance to join Tonic.ai at its most pivotal moment. While Tonic’s structural data platform is a market leader, Textual is our high-growth engine sitting at the heart of the Generative AI revolution. As a Senior PM, you will have the mandate and resources to shape an entire category. You aren't just building a feature; you are building the infrastructure that will allow the world’s most sensitive industries (Healthcare, Finance, and Defense) to finally adopt AI safely.
