About the role
What You'll Do:
Own the Cinematica roadmap end to end — adaptation, shot generation, character and style consistency, music, editing and quality evaluation — and decide what gets built first, what gets cut, and what waits
Turn a production process that today depends on individual judgement into a platform other people can run: our own studio first, then storytellers beyond Inkitt
Define what "good" looks like for an Inkitt story on screen, write it down, and hold the line on it
Build the evaluation system behind that bar: rubrics, benchmarks, blind comparisons and human review loops, so quality becomes something the team can measure and argue about with evidence rather than taste alone
Own the model and prompt strategy, and the buy-versus-build calls underneath it, with engineering, design, analytics and user research
Drive improvements through their entire product lifecycle: ideation, specification, development, release, analysis and iterations
Run a tight iteration loop: ship, watch what viewers actually do, diagnose precisely what failed, feed it back into the pipeline, measure the delta
Work shoulder to shoulder with our Creative Director and AI-Video Production team — your first users — turning craft judgement into systems that hold up without any one person in the room
Educate and influence cross functional stakeholders and leadership to secure buy-in on the roadmap, and communicate your hypotheses and results to team members and leadership
Make quality legible: report it as a number that moves, and connect it to what it does for retention and conversion
What You'll Bring:
6+ years of professional experience at a fast growing tech company, building creative prosumer/enterprise tools or AI-powered products. We measure years on the job, not years holding a “product manager” title.
A roadmap you owned outright: you set the sequence, you decided what didn't get built, and you can explain what that cost and why it was right
Demonstrable taste. You can watch two pieces of generated video, articulate precisely why one is better, and turn that judgement into a rubric someone else can apply without you
Proven track record owning the quality of creative output at scale, and building the systems that measured it — benchmarks, human eval, blind comparisons, A/B — plus a point of view on where automated metrics stop being useful. Generative AI, film and TV post-production, games, animation or creative tooling all count
You have made things yourself, not only managed people who make things. Be ready to walk us through something you personally produced — a shipped feature, a film, a reel, a side project
Exceptional analytical skills where you can quantify both qualitative/quantitative data to make product and strategic decision - i.e. Advanced SQL skills
Self starter that can deliver results with limited supervision and thrives in a fast-paced environment
Strong product intuition and UX design sensibilities, with a user centric mindset
Willing to roll up your sleeves to go above and beyond to make things successful
Ability to work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to determine first-class solutions
Location: Onsite in San Francisco Bay Area
