Fully remote | Complete engagement job
Founded in Palo Alto by Dr. Andrew Ng and Israel Niezen, Factored helps U.S. companies build and scale world-class AI, ML, and Data teams, powered by the top 1% of LATAM talent, with a defining purpose: To empower brilliant humans, unleash their potential, and amplify their impact in the world.
At Factored, you’ll be part of a community that values learning, ownership, and authenticity, where your growth is personal and your ideas matter. We’re transparent, curious, and collaborative. We strive for excellence, celebrate diversity, encourage curiosity, and build an environment where you can truly thrive.
We're hiring Factored's first Product Manager for our Business Transformation & Intelligence team (BTI) — we build the internal technology that runs Factored from within: the workflows, data infrastructure, and internal products our own people use to do their best work.
You won't just manage a backlog. You'll sit at the intersection of vision and execution, making the product calls that take us from manual and reactive to an autonomous, self-serve intelligence ecosystem for 5K Factors.
What you'll be responsible for
- Strategic Problem Solving: You are the owner of business outcomes, not a ticket-taker. You will diagnose root-cause business challenges and proactively propose, design, and champion end-to-end solutions that solve them, rather than waiting for requirements or backlog items.
- Autonomous Delivery: Lead with high agency. You are responsible for transforming ambiguous business goals into clear product specs and driving execution independently. You define the "what" and "why," partnering with engineering to determine the "how," and are expected to make things happen without needing to be managed.
- Continuous Curiosity: Investigate root problems and user pain points deeply to understand the "why" before engineering teams start building.
- Courageous Transparency: Actively push back on requests to ensure we design with intention, not just complete tickets. Provide honest feedback on internal processes to constantly improve them.
- Technical Excellence & Sustainable Velocity: Deliver high-impact solutions with speed while maintaining sustainable system health. You strike a pragmatic balance between rapid shipping and quality—avoiding over-engineering while ensuring our systems can scale. You ship fast, but with an eye toward long-term vision.
- High Ownership:You will act as the CEO of your products, expected to identify opportunities, align stakeholders, and drive progress autonomously. If a process is broken, you fix it. If a goal is unclear, you define it.
- Product Communication & Transparency: Manage product communications and release notes to provide visibility into our roadmap and progress.
What we're looking for
Qualifications
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in a technical, data mesh, or software development environment.
- Proven track record of end-to-end ownership in building and shipping products—from initial concept and discovery through to successful launch and iteration.
- Demonstrated ability to own execution independently while maintaining close alignment with organizational leadership.
- Proven track record of mentoring junior PMs or establishing product processes in a growing organization.
- Experience leading cross-functional strategy for complex systems, not just features.
Skills & Abilities
- Attitude of Service: An empathetic collaborator who is always ready to teach, guide, and support teammates or internal users.
- Strategic Translator: Ability to transform ambiguous business priorities into highly structured, actionable product specs.
- Craftsmanship Mindset: Passion for industry best practices, user advocacy, and building long-term system reliability.
- Strategic Stakeholder Management: Ability to align executive leadership with product roadmaps and manage conflicting priorities across large teams.
- Pragmatic Delivery: A strong bias for action with the ability to balance speed and quality, knowing when to ship fast and when to invest in long-term system stability.
Technical Requirements
- Expertise in Agile workflows and backlog management tools (Jira, Linear, or similar).
- UX/UI sensibility: wireframing, design feedback, and user advocacy.
- Mastery in writing clear PRDs, epics, and user stories.
- Proven ability to influence technical architecture decisions alongside engineering leads.
Nice to Have
- Experience with decentralized data mesh architectures, predictive ML talent matching, or analytics products.
- Background in HR tech, recruiting tools, or talent platforms.
Our Benefits:
- Ownership through equity participation.
- Annual company retreat.
- Education bonus for continuous learning.
- Company-wide winter break.
- Paid time off.
- Optional in-person events and meetups.
- Tailored career roadmaps.
- High-performance culture.
At Factored, we believe that passionate, smart people expect honesty and transparency, as well as the freedom to do the best work of their lives while learning and growing as much as possible. Great people enjoy working with other passionate, smart people, so we believe in hiring right, and are very selective about who joins our team. Once we hire you, we will invest in you and support your career and professional growth in many meaningful ways. We hire people who are supremely intelligent and talented, but we recognize that intelligence is not enough. Perhaps more importantly, we look for those who are also passionate about our mission and are honest, diligent, collaborative, kind to others, and fun to be around. Life is too short to work with people who don’t inspire you.
We are a transparent workplace, where EVERYBODY has a voice in building OUR company, and where learning and growth are available to everyone based on their merits, not just on stamps on their resume. As impressive as some of the stamps on our resumes are, we recognize that human talent and passion exist everywhere, and come from many backgrounds, so stamps matter much less than results. All of us are dedicated doers and are highly energetic, focusing vehemently on execution because we know that the best learning happens by doing. We recognize that we are creating OUR COMPANY TOGETHER, which is not only a high-performing fast-growing business but is changing the way the world perceives the quality of technical talent in Latin America. We are fueled by the great positive impact we are making in the places where we do business and are committed to accelerating careers and investing in hundreds (and hopefully thousands) of highly talented data science engineers and data analysts.
In short, our business is about people, so we hire the best people and invest as much as possible in making them fall in love with their work, their learning, and their mission. When not nerding out on data science, we love to make music together, play sports, play games, dance salsa, cook delicious food, brew the best coffee, throw the best parties, and generally have a great time with each other.
