Product Manager

About the Role

At Koru, we work at the intersection of product, UX, and front-end development. Our clients — from billion-dollar healthtech giants to bold AI-led startups — embed our teams deeply into their product workflows. And that’s where you come in.

What You Will Do

Client and Product Partnership

• Be the connective tissue between our teams and client product orgs — founders, VPs, product owners, and engineering leads.
• Understand their roadmap, their priorities, their risks — and align our design and dev sprints to match their tempo.
• Run regular check-ins, demos, and planning calls that add value, not overhead.

Product Thinking & Execution

• Translate fuzzy ideas into structured backlogs, lean MVPs, and measurable milestones.
• Shape user journeys and flows alongside our UX leads.
• Align product decisions to user needs and product strategy, not just internal pressures or deadlines.

Agile, the Way It Should Be

• Lead agile ceremonies — sprint planning, demos, retros, backlog grooming — with energy and intent.
• Use tools like Jira, Notion, or Basecamp to bring alignment and clarity to team and stakeholders.
• Track velocity, unblock teams, and make data-informed decisions to course-correct.

Team Coordination

• Work closely with cross-functional teams — UX designers, front-end engineers, QA, and client-side product folks — to ensure consistent progress.
• Balance pace and quality, while keeping team morale and client trust intact.

Operational Ownership

• Maintain transparency in effort, timelines, budgets, and team utilization.
• Drive documentation — from timelines to functional specs — that’s useful, not perfunctory.
• Proactively flag risks and help clients plan realistically, not reactively.

What You Bring

• 4–7 years of experience in product/project management in a services or digital consulting environment, , having worked with clients/stakeholders from the North American region.
• Proven success managing UX and front-end development teams, especially for enterprise-grade web applications.
• Deep familiarity with agile delivery practices — beyond rituals, you understand intent.
• Excellent communication — you can hold your own in a room full of engineers, designers, and C-level execs.
• A mindset of ownership without ego — you lead with context, care, and clarity.

Bonus Points

• Experience in healthcare, logistics, insurance, or other regulated industries.
• Exposure to AI-powered product workflows or integrating AI features into B2B products.
• A natural builder of process hygiene and team rhythm.

Why Koru?

• Design-forward, impact-led. We don’t ship fluff. We build real, used, high-stakes enterprise products.
• AI-first and UX-obsessed. You’ll be part of shaping the future of how AI and UX blend in healthtech and enterprise products.
• A tight-knit, no-fluff team. Clear thinkers, curious minds, and people who give a damn.
• Flexible and remote. Work from anywhere, but be present where it counts.

Apply If You…

• Think like a product owner, act like a consultant, and lead like a partner.
• Get energy from unblocking people, structuring ambiguity, and making ideas real.
• Believe that execution is everything, and clarity is your superpower.
