Product Manager

ABOUT THE JOB

Midjourney is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. We are a small, self-funded team focused on design, human infrastructure, and AI.

Most of the products we build don’t have obvious precedents. We need product managers who can help teams navigate that uncertainty, make decisions, and turn ambitious ideas into products people can actually use.

We’re looking for a Product Manager to help lead that effort.

You’ll work closely with design, engineering, and research throughout the product development process, using tools like Claude Code to prototype concepts. You’ll help teams stay organized, make thoughtful decisions, and move projects from early ideation to launch.

This is a hands-on role. Some days you’ll be writing product specs, running standups, and coordinating launches. Other days you’ll be interviewing users, reviewing prototypes, or digging into product questions that need deeper investigation. If you enjoy bringing structure to creative work and making it easier for great teams to do their best work, you’ll probably enjoy it here.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the execution of major product initiatives.
• Partner closely with design and engineering from early exploration through launch.
• Write product requirements, manage backlogs, and keep projects moving.
• Facilitate planning, standups, reviews, and comms between teams.
• Help teams make informed decisions through UXR, research, and using Midjourney deeply yourself.
• Go deep on important product questions when needed, whether that means conducting user research, designing experiments, or working through a difficult product tradeoff.
• Help teams decide what matters most and make smart choices about quality, scope, and speed.

YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF

• You’ve spent the last several years building software people love to use.
• You know how to create structure without weighing a team down.
• You’re as comfortable writing a product spec as you are talking to users or reviewing a prototype.
• You have a point of view, but care more about getting the product right than being right.
• Using Claude Code and Cursor are part of your workflow.
• You’re excited to build products that don’t come with established playbooks.
• Work > ego
