Work type: onsite
Location: New York City
Salary: $130,000 – $250,000/yr
Type: Full-time
**Who this is for** This role is designed for senior-level AI product leaders with 4-6+ years of experience, specifically those who have spent at least two years shipping AI/ML features at scale. The ideal candidate is a "technical PM" who can navigate model architecture discussions with engineers while maintaining a sharp focus on user experience. Since this is based in a high-intensity "innovation hub," it’s perfect for builders who prefer fast-paced, experimental environments over corporate maintenance. **Key highlights** While Automattic is famous for its remote-first culture, **this specific role requires being in-person in New York City five days a week.** To compensate for this, the company offers a localized salary range of $130k–$250k, which is higher than its standard global bands. You will have the unique opportunity to treat the NYC office like an elite AI lab while leveraging the massive distribution of platforms like WordPress and Tumblr to reach hundreds of millions of users. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have hands-on experience turning AI prototypes into products used by millions. * Are comfortable with the "high-beta" nature of shipping across both established platforms and new, emerging bets. * Desire a daily, in-person collaborative environment in NYC rather than a remote setup. * Can bridge the gap between complex API constraints and intuitive product design.
Location: New York City Innovation Hub (In-person)About This Opportunity
We’re assembling an exceptional team of AI product leaders in NYC. The kind of people who’ve shipped breakthrough AI products that millions actually use and other top PMs seek out as collaborators. This isn’t about typical product management roles or career advancement perks. It’s about working alongside some of the most talented product minds and engineers in AI, solving fascinating problems at unprecedented scale.
You'll collaborate in-person with a carefully selected group designed for breakthrough thinking, backed by the resources and reach of Automattic's ecosystem, spanning WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and more. Think of it as an elite AI lab with the distribution and impact that comes with serving hundreds of millions of users.
What You'll Do
Shape AI transformation for hundreds of millions of users across creative, commerce, and communication experiences. Work on the kinds of product challenges that define entire categories: making content creation fundamentally more accessible, reimagining customer support, and helping small businesses access capabilities that were previously enterprise-only.
You’ll have the resources and reach to tackle problems most product managers can only dream about, alongside a team selected specifically for their ability to push boundaries.
Salary range:
At Automattic, we use global salary ranges that do not vary by location. However, because this role is required to be based in our New York City office 5 days a week, we have applied an adjustment to the global band to support additional costs associated with the office-based role requirements. The salary for this role is 130,000-$250,000 USD.
If you later move to a different team or role at Automattic that is not NYC office‑based, your salary would be adjusted to the applicable global pay band for that role, which could result in a reduction in salary. Note that the global range would apply even if your chosen location of residence is NYC.
We are searching for high-caliber candidates with the skills and qualities to have a net positive for Automattic. Pay will reflect the potential contribution and the impact you can bring, which may, in some cases, go beyond the range stated. #LI-DNI
