Overview

As a Senior Product Manager at Phia, you'll help define and build the future of AI-powered shopping. You'll own major product initiatives from strategy through execution, working closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and Leadership to identify opportunities, solve complex user problems, and deliver experiences that drive meaningful business impact.

This role is equal parts strategic and hands-on. You'll be responsible for shaping product direction, making thoughtful prioritization decisions, and leading cross-functional teams to ship high-quality products at startup speed. You'll work directly with company leadership and have significant influence over what we build, why we build it, and how we measure success.

We're looking for someone who combines strong product intuition with analytical rigor, thrives in fast-moving environments, and is excited to help build a category-defining consumer AI company.

About Phia

Phia has raised $43M from Notable Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins, with backing from founders and operators like Vlad Tenev (Robinhood), Mellody Hobson (Ariel Investments), Naomi Gleit (Meta), and Mati Staniszewski (ElevenLabs), plus a roster of cultural leaders, to build the AI alignment layer for commerce. In just over a year, Phia's consumer shopping agent has surpassed 1.5 million users and partnered with 9,600+ retail brands across contemporary, resale, and luxury, representing billions in annual gross merchandise volume. We scan more than 350 million products to help shoppers find the right pieces at the best price, cutting return rates by 50%, and we're on pace for nine-figure sales growth this year.

 

In an era where AI vertical agents are reshaping every industry, commerce is on the verge of a complete transformation. Phia is reinventing shopping from a fragmented, impersonal experience into one that feels intelligent, trusted, and built around each user's intent. This foundation of trust is our wedge to become the end-to-end shopping destination for the next generation of buyers.

 

Phia is a lean, high-ownership team building at startup speed. If you want to ship at high velocity and solve complex problems in consumer AI and commerce, this is the place to do it.
