About the Role
MODE is a dynamic, fast-growing early-stage startup at the forefront of the generative AI and IoT revolution. We are expanding our presence in both Japan and the US, pioneering innovative solutions that bridge the physical and digital worlds. As a Product Manager at MODE, you will join the product management team to identify industry-specific challenges and propose product solutions aligned with the BizStack strategy. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders, engineering, and UX teams to bring these solutions to life. Before full-scale development, you will rapidly build simple proofs-of-concept (PoCs) using AI agents to validate ideas. Since BizStack is an IoT and AI platform, proposing solutions tailored to various customer segments is essential. You will develop features that support these solutions as a unified platform. This role presents a complex challenge beyond single-issue products, offering high difficulty but significant reward and interest.
Responsibilities
- Identify industry-specific challenges and pain points relevant to the target market.
- Propose product solutions that align with and advance the BizStack product and strategy.
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, engineering teams, and UX/design teams to conceptualize and refine solutions.
- Rapidly build simple proofs-of-concept (PoCs) using AI agents and tools to validate ideas early.
- Drive projects from problem discovery to launch, removing obstacles and leading execution end-to-end.
- Collect and integrate feedback from stakeholders and customers to iteratively improve proposed solutions.
- Ability to work in the office at least once a week.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in product management, business analysis, or a related role (junior to mid-level).
- 3+ years of experience with B2B solutions or SaaS products.
- Energetic and proactive mindset with a strong commitment to execution and completion.
- Practical English proficiency (equivalent to or higher than Japanese university graduation level). The product team includes many English speakers from around the world, and English is the primary language for documentation and daily communication. Reading business and technical documents and communicating with engineers in English is required.
- Comfortable building simple prototypes using AI tools and agents (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, no-code/low-code platforms).
- High collaboration skills to effectively work across departments including engineering, UX, and business teams.
- Curiosity about industry-specific challenges, coupled with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
