## Job description

Gradial is building the AI-native system of work for enterprise marketing. Our agents turn ideas into live campaigns by executing across the tools, teams, and workflows enterprises already use—from content authoring and campaign assembly to quality assurance and brand compliance. We give marketers and creatives more time to shape brands, understand customers, and create work that moves people.
We’re tackling some of the hardest problems in applied AI: building agent harnesses, sandboxed execution environments, and orchestration that enable agents to plan, act, and verify their work reliably at enterprise scale. We’re growing rapidly, winning Fortune 500 and enterprise customers including AWS, T-Mobile, and Prudential. Our $65 million Series C led by Insight Partners is accelerating that momentum.
Join us to help define how people and AI agents work together. We move with urgency, reason from first principles, and take ownership from idea to customer impact. You’ll shape the product, own consequential problems, and build systems that some of the world’s leading brands depend on every day.
Role Overview
Gradial is hiring a Forward Deployed Product Manager to help enterprise clients activate our AI platform inside complex marketing technology environments. In this role, you’ll work directly with customers to translate business goals into technical implementations, shaping both product usage and roadmap. You’ll support late-stage sales, lead delivery, and ensure measurable impact post-launch - all while feeding critical insights back into product development.

Requirements

Proven success deploying technology into complex client environments with multiple stakeholder groups
Strong product instincts with the ability to scope features and influence roadmap based on real-world usage
Excellent communication skills; comfortable aligning cross-functional teams around technical decisions
Willingness to travel for critical client engagements and cross-functional planning

Background in management consulting, systems integration, or forward-deployed product roles

You'll thrive here if you
Learn quickly, actively seek out new challenges, and regularly reconsider “how it’s always been done.”
Want to have real impact with zero bureaucracy.
Have an innate drive for being 1% better than the day before, building towards greatness.
Embrace AI as a core tool for problem-solving, innovation, and scale.
Show customer-obsession (internal or external), high ownership/accountability, and bias for action.
Communicate clearly, directly, with curiosity, and assuming good intentions.
Thrive in fast-paced, hyper-growth environments where building better > maintaining status quo.
AI Literacy & Interviewing Tools
As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.
Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
