Senior Product Manager

The Role

As our Senior Product Manager, you'll lead product development across our hardware-enabled software platform and help define what comes next, shipping tools that public works teams, engineering consultants, and civic leaders use every day. You'll partner with design, engineering, and go-to-market to prioritize the most urgent problems and deliver elegant, effective solutions, fast. You'll work directly with customers to understand their jobs-to-be-done and turn them into smart, focused product decisions. You'll be an early, foundational member of our product team.

What You'll Do

• Work with leadership to understand the company's vision and pick the problems that matter most.
• Run discovery with towns and prototype rapidly with Claude Code or similar tools to speed the path from idea to production code.
• Define and track clear success metrics tied to usage, retention, and business growth.
• Partner with engineering and design to scope work, unblock decisions, and execute with urgency.
• Support go-to-market on launch strategy, pricing experiments, and product demos, and help shape Cyvl's product culture.

What You Bring

• 4-7 years of experience in product management or a related field in B2B software
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and ship impactful products
• Strong product sense and customer empathy; you know how to turn vague problems into clear solutions
• Comfort digging into data, aligning stakeholders, and making fast, informed trade-offs
• Technical fluency: you don't need to be an engineer, but you understand APIs, data models, and the basics of modern AI/ML workflows

Nice to Have

• Experience in civic tech, infrastructure, GIS, or vertical SaaS
• Exposure to public sector, urban systems, or field-data workflows

Why Cyvl

• Hard tech.
• Real streets.
• Your name on it.

• Hard problems in the real world. You build end-to-end: our own hardware, software and AI, with work that shows up on the street in the real world.
• Ownership that compounds. You own outcomes, not tasks. You work directly with customers and across our team, and you'll own more, sooner, than almost anywhere else.
• Intense, with heart. We're building a category, so it's not a place to coast. We also take care of each other, have genuine fun together, and believe in what we are doing.

What We Ask

• Cross lanes. "Not my job" doesn't exist here.
• Own without a playbook. The plan is still being written, often by you.
• Try, miss, try again. We make big bets. Some won't land, and we learn fast.
• Be in the room. We're on-site in Somerville about 90% of the time.

We're a startup building a category. If that sounds like the draw, not the risk, we'd love to talk.

Benefits

• Equity. You'll own a piece of what you're building.
• Health, dental, and vision. Cyvl covers most of the premium for you and your family.
• 401k with a real match, vested day one. Your money is yours from the start.
• Generous PTO & Paid Parental leave. Doing hard work well includes stepping away from it.
• Learning stipend. Spend it on whatever makes you sharper.
• Paid to live close. A monthly bonus for living near our Boston office.
• Team events. Time together in Boston with a team you’ll love working with.
