About Modus
We are building the future of audit. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Modus is acquiring and modernizing CPA firms using Agentic AI. We are currently closing our Series A to acquire our first firm—a $30M+ revenue market leader.
As our first Product Manager, you will join our growing technology team to write the playbook on AI-enabling the accounting industry.
What You’ll Do
You will bridge the gap between our newly acquired CPA firm and our engineering team. You will interface directly with auditors to understand their current workflows, help translate these to AI (and non-technical) solutions, and be instrumental in technical rollout across the firm.
Define the Roadmap: Turn messy, real-world audit workflows into scalable AI product specs.
Ship AI Agents: Partner with engineers to deploy LLM pipelines, RAG systems, and browser automation into production.
Own the Outcome: Work directly with the auditors at our firm to ensure our tools drive real business impact.
Build the Playbook: Standardize how we modernize traditional CPA firms through technology.
What We Look For
PM Experience: Proven track record as a Product Manager (preferably in early-stage or high-growth technical environments).
Programming Experience: we love PMs that come with a technical background, whether that means having been a SWE previously or building side projects to stay on top of the latest in AI.
Financial Literacy: You don’t need an accounting degree, but you must be able to comfortably read basic financial statements (e.g. P&L, Balance Sheet).
Technical Fluency: High comfort level discussing AI/LLMs, data pipelines, and technical trade-offs.
Bias for Action: We are a small, execution-focused team. You should be ready to "get in the weeds" with users and data.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $150K–$350K + meaningful early-stage equity.
Benefits: Full healthcare and team meals.
Environment: Fast iteration cycles and direct exposure to the business's core revenue drivers.
