Job Description

About the Role

At Koru, we work at the intersection of product, UX, and front-end development. Our clients -- from billion-dollar healthtech giants to bold AI-led startups -- embed our teams deeply into their product workflows. And that's where you come in.


We're looking for a Product Manager who thinks like a product owner but operates in a consultancy model. Someone who embodies product thinking without needing to "own the product" -- yet still drives clarity, quality, and impact as if they did. Someone who understands great UX isn't a phase, but a mindset that spans discovery to delivery.

What You Will Do

Client and Product Partnership

Be the connective tissue between our teams and client product orgs -- founders, VPs, product owners, and engineering leads. Understand their roadmap, their priorities, their risks -- and align our design and dev sprints to match their tempo. Run regular check-ins, demos, and planning calls that add value, not overhead.

Product Thinking & Execution

Translate fuzzy ideas into structured backlogs, lean MVPs, and measurable milestones. Shape user journeys and flows alongside our UX leads. Align product decisions to user needs and product strategy, not just internal pressures or deadlines.

Agile, the Way It Should Be

Lead agile ceremonies -- sprint planning, demos, retros, backlog grooming -- with energy and intent. Use tools like Jira, Notion, or Basecamp to bring alignment and clarity to team and stakeholders. Track velocity, unblock teams, and make data-informed decisions to course-correct.

Team Coordination

Work closely with cross-functional teams -- UX designers, front-end engineers, QA, and client-side product folks -- to ensure consistent progress. Balance pace and quality, while keeping team morale and client trust intact.

Operational Ownership

Maintain transparency in effort, timelines, budgets, and team utilization. Drive documentation -- from timelines to functional specs -- that's useful, not perfunctory. Proactively flag risks and help clients plan realistically, not reactively.

Requirements

What You Bring

4-7 years of experience in product/project management in a services or digital consulting environment. Proven success managing UX and front-end development teams, especially for enterprise-grade web applications. Deep familiarity with agile delivery practices -- beyond rituals, you understand intent. Excellent communication -- you can hold your own in a room full of engineers, designers, and C-level execs. A mindset of ownership without ego -- you lead with context, care, and clarity.

Bonus Points

Experience in healthcare, logistics, insurance, or other regulated industries. Exposure to AI-powered product workflows or integrating AI features into B2B products. A natural builder of process hygiene and team rhythm.

Benefits

Why Koru?

Design-forward, impact-led. We don't ship fluff. We build real, used, high-stakes enterprise products. AI-first and UX-obsessed. You'll be part of shaping the future of how AI and UX blend in healthtech and enterprise products. A tight-knit, no-fluff team. Clear thinkers, curious minds, and people who give a damn. Flexible and remote. Work from anywhere, but be present where it counts.

Apply If You...

Think like a product owner, act like a consultant, and lead like a partner. Get energy from unblocking people, structuring ambiguity, and making ideas real. * Believe that execution is everything, and clarity is your superpower.
