About The Role
Neural Concept's Vertical Solutions team turns the most common engineering use cases into streamlined, production-grade workflows powered by leading AI technologies.
As Product Manager or Solution Owner, you will own the product lifecycle for one of our vertical solutions end to end: from discovering customer needs to shipping AI-powered workflows that combine design, simulation, and data science/ML. You'll partner with industry-leading customers to translate real-world engineering problems into a product roadmap, and you'll work hands-on with AI-assisted development tools to move from concept to working prototype fast.
This is a pivotal, cross-functional role: you'll work across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to make sure what you build actually gets adopted and delivers value.
What you will do
- Own the product roadmap for your vertical solution, from discovery through delivery and iteration.
- Run customer discovery: lead interviews, validate problem-solution fit, and turn insights into a clear product strategy and backlog.
- Define and prioritize requirements, write specs, and make the roadmap tradeoffs that keep the team focused on impact.
- Use AI-based development tools and hands-on prototyping (including scripting) to de-risk ideas quickly and get working solutions in front of customers sooner.
- Lead and collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers (CAD/CAE/ML) to take solutions from prototype to production-ready.
- Track adoption and value delivery across customer projects in your vertical, and feed those insights back into the global product roadmap.
- Align vertical initiatives with overall company strategy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who you are
- Proven product management experience: you've owned a product or product area end to end, from discovery to launch to iteration, ideally in an enterprise or technical B2B context.
- Hands-on with AI-based development: comfortable using AI coding/prototyping tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) and scripting (Python) to build and test ideas yourself rather than only writing specs for others.
- Strong discovery and customer empathy skills: you can run a great customer interview, synthesize signal from noise, and translate it into a coherent product narrative.
- Pragmatic, impact-first problem solver: comfortable making tradeoffs, willing to challenge assumptions, and focused on outcomes over process.
- Comfortable operating cross-functionally with engineering, data science, and customer-facing teams, and able to influence without direct authority.
- Clear written and verbal communicator, able to align stakeholders across technical and business audiences.
