Product Manager

Who you are

• You are a builder. You might be a technical marketer, an engineer who shifted focus toward user psychology, or a PM eager to work in a high-velocity, high-ambition environment
• Customer Empathy: You are genuinely interested in the world of marketing and seek to connect with our customers to understand their goals and objectives and how we can help them succeed
• Foresight: You anticipate trends and maintain persistent curiosity about the future of technology
• Technical Literacy: You are comfortable with the basics of LLMs, RAG, and structured data, understanding the shift toward conversational interfaces
• Operational Rigor: You love the speed of a prototype but possess the discipline to benchmark success and maintain a high standard for production-grade software
• A track record of shipping things people use
• Intense customer empathy and the ability to translate enterprise needs into clear product solutions
• Accountability and high agency

What the job involves

• The classical era of software development, where PMs spend months in meetings and write 30-page PRDs, is over
• At Yext, the structural bottleneck isn't writing code; it’s having the product taste, domain nuance, and execution speed to find the right solution before the market shifts. We don't need agile process coordinators; we need high-agency Product Builders
• You will join one of our core anchors, Competitive Intelligence, Data Syndication, or Consumer Experience, and are responsible for bringing to life a vision of autonomous marketing built for the world of AI Search
• Rapid Prototyping: You will use modern tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to build functional proofs-of-concept and data pipelines, validating ideas with real users
• Domain Refinement: You will cultivate deep product taste by analyzing industry trends, experimenting with AI interfaces, and engaging in feedback loops with power users
• Outcome-Driven Delivery: You will balance speed with operational discipline, using analytics to measure performance and prioritizing the 20% of effort that drives 80% of business outcomes
• Collaborative Scaling: You will partner with engineering to harden high-conviction prototypes into scalable, secure, and instrumented global features

Benefits

• Comprehensive Benefits Programme: Our top priority is maintaining our employees' and their families' health and well-being. We offer a robust benefits program, including top-quality health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), paid parental leave, a 401(k) with a match or retirement pension plan, equity, commuter benefits, and more
• Invested in Your Wellbeing: In addition to our top-tier benefits, we offer a holistic wellness program with physical and mental health perks that go beyond the basics. A few employee-favorite perks are our premium, no-cost Calm subscription for relaxation and mindfulness and monthly ClassPass credits for everything from workouts to wellness experiences (cold plunge or massage, anyone?). Run out of credits? No sweat — you can snag more at a discounted rate!
• Collaborative Workspaces: Yext has workspaces in some of the world's greatest cities — from our HQ in New York City to those in Budapest, Greater Washington DC, Hyderabad, London, and Paris. Many teams follow a hybrid work model, giving employees the flexibility to work remotely while also connecting in person at any of our offices. These modern, vibrant spaces are designed for collaboration, fostering the spontaneous interactions and knowledge-sharing that define our global culture.
• Stay Informed: Our leadership team prioritizes transparency at every level, keeping employees informed through newsletters, regular updates, and quarterly company-wide meetings. These forums dive into industry trends, celebrate wins, break down post-earnings results, and outline what's ahead.
• Life-Work Balance: We're all about working hard and having fun, but we know there's no pause button when the workday ends. Our employees wear many hats — parents, caregivers, mentors, volunteers, and more — and we're dedicated to helping blend the best of both worlds. That's why we offer flexible vacation, paid holidays, and sick days, giving you the time to recharge and focus on what matters most with the people you love most.
• Upward Mobility: Career growth isn't just encouraged at Yext — it's a priority. With internal mobility at the heart of our culture, over 20% of our hires in 2024 came from within! Through our Upward Mobility program, we invest in our people by providing opportunities to explore new roles, expand skills, and take on fresh challenges. Whether you're looking to grow in your current role or take your career in a new direction, we're here to support your journey every step of the way.
