Role Summary

We’re looking for a Product Manager who builds. Someone technically fluent, energised by ambiguity, and motivated by seeing things ship - not just planned.

As a Product Manager at Caruso, you’ll own product outcomes across complex customer problems. You’ll define what gets built, build working prototypes to test your assumptions, write specs that engineers can execute against, and stay close to delivery - unblocking engineers, working through tradeoffs together, and shipping small features directly.

You’ll work directly with enterprise clients and need the experience and judgement to translate messy requirements into buildable, prioritised product work - and the diplomacy to say no when needed.

This role suits someone who thrives in execution-heavy environments, enjoys complexity, and wants immediate impact rather than owning a narrow slice of a mature roadmap.

What You’ll Do

• **Product Definition & Scoping**

You will define what gets built and in what order

• Dig deep to understand the real problem, not just the surface request
• Break down complex client needs into buildable, prioritised product work
• Write clear specs and acceptance criteria that engineers can execute against
• Prioritise ruthlessly across bugs, features, and technical debt
• Build working prototypes in Claude Code, v0 or Figma to validate assumptions before committing engineering effort
• Sense-check decisions ...
