As a Product Manager at MODE, you will be part of our Product Management team, identifying industry-specific problems and proposing product solutions that align with our BizStack strategy. You’ll work closely with cross-functional stakeholders, engineering, and UX to bring those solutions to life — using AI agents to quickly build simple proofs of concept and validate ideas before committing to full-scale development.
Given that BizStack is an IoT and AI platform, it is imperative to propose solutions tailored to various customer segments. You will develop features that support these solutions as a unified platform. This role involves complex challenges unlike those encountered in single-issue products, offering a high degree of difficulty but also a rewarding and engaging experience.
Responsibilities
- Identify industry-specific problems and pain points relevant to our target markets.
- Propose product solutions that align with and advance the BizStack product and strategy.
- Partner with cross-functional stakeholders, engineering teams, and UX/design to shape and refine solutions.
- Use AI agents and tools to rapidly build simple proofs of concept (POCs) that validate ideas early.
- Drive execution end-to-end — from problem discovery through launch — keeping projects moving and unblocked.
- Gather and synthesize stakeholder and customer feedback to iterate on proposed solutions.
- Willing to work in the office at least once per 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.
- An energetic, proactive mindset with a strong bias toward execution and getting things done.
- Working English proficiency (Japanese college-level English or better). Our product team includes many English-speaking members from around the world, and English is our primary language for documentation and day-to-day communication — you’ll need to read business/technical materials and communicate with engineers in English.
- Comfort using AI tools and agents (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, no-code/low-code platforms) to build simple prototypes.
- Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, UX, and business teams.
- Solid analytical and problem-solving skills, with curiosity about industry-specific challenges.
Nice to haves
While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.
- Prior experience in the Transportation infrastructure domain.
- Familiarity with AI prototyping tools.
- Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous, or early-stage environments.
