Product Manager, Video Creation & Editing (Principal-level)

Synthesia is the world’s leading AI video platform for business, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US.

As AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations.

Following our recent Series E funding round, where we raised $200 million, our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow.

ABOUT THE ROLE

90% of the Fortune 100 already create video on Synthesia. You'll own the platform they create it on (the Editor and the AI Assistant) at the exact moment video creation is shifting from manual timelines to AI-native and agentic workflows.

Other teams at Synthesia build against the direction you set. Your job is to define what "making a video" even means when AI does most of the work, and to hold the craft bar high while the ground moves under it.

WHY NOW

Generative video is being rebuilt from the editor up. The teams that define the new creation model now will set the standard for the next decade. That is this role.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

• Defining and owning the product roadmap for the Editor & AI Assistant.
• Contributing the evolution of assisted creation features and AI-powered workflows within a unified product experience.
• Prioritizing use cases and features based on deep understanding of user needs, market trends, and competitive landscape.
• Leading cross-functional collaboration to deliver high-impact product releases on time and with quality.
• Advocating for a strong UX focus and intuitive design that lowers barriers to video creation for diverse user segments.
• Acting as a key influencer across the organization, communicating product vision and progress to stakeholders at all levels.

YOU MAY BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU ARE

• You are a strategic thinker with a strong track record of leading complex, high-impact product initiatives.
• You have signifiant experience managing world-class products, ideally with a focus on creative or collaborative tooling, or other experience-led products.
• You possess deep product intuition and a strong UX focus, with the ability to understand and anticipate user needs.
• You are comfortable navigating large, ambiguous product areas and collaborating effectively across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• You have a solid understanding of video creation and editing complexities. Prior experience in video tools is beneficial.
• You have excellent communication skills and excel at cross-functional partnership with Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer Support.
• You are customer-obsessed, with a passion for shipping impactful products that drive meaningful user outcomes.
• You thrive in high-autonomy roles and are comfortable owning the end-to-end product lifecycle from strategy to execution.

We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every point above. Strong candidates rarely match a list exactly, and we'd rather hear from you.
