LightSight is an AI consulting and engineering firm serving private equity firms and their portfolio companies. Our products include technical solutions we design and build for clients and consulting services such as assessments, workshops, and training.
The Product Management team owns client delivery, business development through rapid prototyping and business case building, and the client relationships that sustain both. The Technical Product Manager delivers excellent products to our clients by understanding each client’s business, shaping a solution that creates measurable value, proving it quickly with a working prototype, and managing the work through delivery.
Within each engagement, the Technical Product Manager owns the user experience and the requirements. Engineers receive a well-considered, high-quality UX and clear specifications, so their effort goes into building the right thing. The role suits someone who is comfortable presenting to client executives and equally comfortable building with AI-assisted development tools.
Reports to the Chief AI Officer and works closely with the Product Management team, the engineering and delivery team, the Business Development Manager, and the Chief of Staff. Cleveland, Chicago, Phoenix, or Seattle preferred; fully remote arrangements are available, and there is no in-office requirement. The seniority of the title and the compensation within the posted range are flexible based on experience.
