Head of Product / Senior Product Manager at Vidrush

VidRush is an AI-native video production platform that replaces an entire video team with coordinated AI agents. Creators turn a simple idea into a fully produced, long-form video—research, script, voiceover, visuals, motion graphics, and rendering—in under an hour. No timelines. No editing headaches. Just intent → finished video. We’re building a new way to create video that feels more like writing than editing, and we’re already seeing strong traction from serious creators and media teams. If you’re excited about AI, creator tools, and building category-defining products from first principles, you’ll fit right in. Department: Product Reports To: CEO Location: Remote (Turkey strongly preferred / UTC+3) WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS We have a talented engineering team and junior PM support, but we lack a strategic anchor. Currently, the CEO is the only bridge between business goals and technical execution, leading to vague PRDs and sprints cluttered with low-priority tasks. We need a Head of Product with 3–7 years of experience to take full ownership of the "What" and "Why." You will be the person who translates high-level vision into airtight requirements, holds the team accountable to high quality standards, and relentlessly cuts anything that doesn't drive revenue or retention. WHAT YOU’LL DO Strategy & Roadmap Ownership - Define the 4–12 week product strategy with clear milestones and success criteria. - Act as the final filter for the roadmap: evaluate every feature against revenue impact and growth potential. - Conduct deep competitor analysis (Opus Clip, Descript, Submagic) to ensure VidRush maintains its "category-defining" edge. High-Fidelity Execution - Airtight PRDs: Take over and refine all Product Requirement Documents. Every spec must include acceptance criteria, edge cases, and a clear split between frontend/backend responsibilities to eliminate developer guesswork. - Jira Mastery: Own the backlog hygiene and sprint planning. Move beyond "moving tickets" to using velocity data to improve delivery predictability. - Process Design: Establish lightweight rituals (two-pass syncs, async notes) that work across distributed time zones. Managing R&D & AI Work - Structure unpredictable AI experimentation using time-boxed "spikes." - Bridge the gap between R&D exploration and product reality, ensuring research stays aligned with business goals rather than chasing every new model trend. Team Leadership - Manage and mentor the existing PM team (Nayana + Project Manager). - Be the "First Line of Defense" against scope creep, pushing back on bad ideas—even from the CEO—to protect team velocity. What We’re Looking For - Experience: 3–7 years of Product Management experience, preferably at a high-growth startup (YC-backed, Series A+, or top-tier Turkish tech like Peak, Dream Games, or Getir). - AI Literacy: You must understand the nuances of building with non-deterministic systems (LLMs/Generative AI) and how that impacts roadmap planning. - Technical Writing: You take pride in documentation. Your requirements leave zero room for ambiguity. - Execution-Driven: You have a "Bias to Action." You prefer a shipped feature over a perfect slide deck. - Customer Obsession: You are comfortable jumping into Discord or hopping on calls with power users to turn messy feedback into actionable insights. - Communication: Direct, candid, and persuasive. You align stakeholders without creating friction. HOW WE WORK - Small Team, High Ownership: You will drive outcomes directly. There is no room for performative process here. - Speed is a Feature: We value crisp requirements followed by fast iteration. - Remote-First: We coordinate across time zones but require a minimum of 6 hours overlap with Turkish business hours (UTC+3).

If you have a track record of shipping high-impact products and want to lead a category-defining platform, let’s talk.
