About the Role
Company Overview: We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data. Solving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech. We’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI. The Opportunity We’re looking for a Founding Product Manager to own product development in Protege’s media business. With a handful of media customers today (including some of the biggest foundation models) and a full pipeline, we’re looking for someone to take the reins from our Head of Product and deliver on maturing the product suite serving our media vertical. Product opportunities span data ingestion and delivery systems — the backbone of how we scale our media data catalog for AI training — as well as the development of UIs and possibly data products. It will be up to you to find opportunities, work with stakeholders to prioritize them, design solutions with engineering, and oversee their build and rollout. Up first, you’ll bridge engineering, product, and partnerships to ensure that millions of hours of content flow seamlessly through Protege’s ingestion, normalization, and metadata enrichment pipelines. You’ll work cross-functionally to build a product roadmap that will help the media business scale and translate those opportunities into clear requirements for our engineering team, managing the development, QA, and launch cycles for those solutions.
