This will be a senior individual contributor working in collaboration with our Engineering, Design, Solutions, and Operations teams. The ideal candidate thrives in early stage companies and products, has experience leading complex data intensive products, and has a strong desire to leverage AI to solve real-world problems.

• Measure the impact of features shipped, solicit customer feedback, and continuously iterate based on learnings
• Work closely with key internal and external stakeholders to guide prioritization and make sure that product development is focused and impactful.
• Get the job done while keeping the big picture firmly in mind.

REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum of 5 years of Product Management experience in B2B SaaS products
• Attention to UX and a user-first mentality, with the ability to balance product delivery needs with more strategic thinking
• Detail-oriented and thorough; you’re a proactive self-starter who is able to effectively juggle multiple projects in a highly fluid work environment
• A strong executor in fast-paced environments
• You can balance delivery of MVPs with an unwavering commitment to world class products
• A firm believer in a “Data First” philosophy but can also make decisions in ambiguous situations
• Collaborator, team player, with experience leading cross-functional teams with excellent communication skills
• Have experience at a venture backed startup
• You enjoy working with customers, especially those new to using technology and haven’t had anyone build for them in the past
• You thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, with a bias for action
• You are a scrappy, self starter, who loves experimenting with new technology

WHO YOU ARE

You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments. You take pride in getting things done — thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama. You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution.

You value feedback — giving it, receiving it, and acting on it — and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden. You’re low-ego but high-agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually. You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data.

You don’t need constant direction — you create momentum. You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you.

HOW WE OPERATE

We move fast, work smart, and hold ourselves to a high bar. Axion is a place for people who take pride in their craft and are motivated by meaningful work. We respect time off and boundaries, but we’re also realistic: hard problems sometimes require weekend pushes or late-night thinking sessions. We support that balance — intensity with respect for recharge.

We stay highly collaborative and connected throughout the day — much of our communication happens over Slack. We move quickly, share feedback often, and keep discussions open so decisions and context flow freely. If you value crisp communication, rapid iteration, and a steady hum of collaboration, you’ll fit right in.

WE

• Collaborate deeply. Feedback is part of how we build — everyone has a voice, and ideas win on merit.
• Leave ego at the door. Titles don’t define value; contribution does.
• Bias toward action. We iterate fast and favor progress over perfection.
• Communicate with clarity. Direct, transparent, and always in service of the mission.
• Act like owners. Everyone is accountable for outcomes, not just tasks.
• Sustain excellence. We push hard but don’t glorify burnout — we’re in this for the long game.

If you want to help shape a company redefining how manufacturing operates — and you thrive in a culture that rewards ownership, speed, and candor — you’ll feel at home here

WHAT WE OFFER

• Work with cutting-edge AI technology making a tangible impact in manufacturing
• Collaborative, mission-driven team and supportive leadership
• Generous time off
• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
• Lunch stipend…. And much more
