Pocket Technology/Software

Head of Product

San Francisco, CA In person Full-time

About Pocket

  • At Pocket, we're building the future of human memory.
  • We believe some of the most valuable information in our lives is lost every day — in conversations, meetings, ideas, and moments that never make it into the digital world.
  • Pocket changes that.
  • We've built an AI-powered wearable device that captures real-world conversations and transforms them into searchable, actionable intelligence.
  • But capturing conversations is just the beginning.
  • Imagine a world where everything you learn, discuss, and experience can become useful context for the AI tools you already use — and entirely new products that don't exist yet.
  • That's what we're building.
  • With hundreds of thousands of devices already in the hands of customers, we're looking for an exceptional Head of Product to help define what comes next.

About the Role

  • We're looking for someone who is obsessed with AI, exceptional product experiences, and building things that millions of people will love.
  • You'll own the entire Pocket product experience — from the moment someone discovers and activates their device to how they interact with their personal knowledge, AI-powered features, and the broader AI ecosystem.
  • This isn't a role for someone who simply manages a roadmap.
  • We want a builder, thinker, and operator who can turn ambitious ideas into exceptional products.
  • You'll work directly with the founders and lead product development across hardware, mobile, desktop, AI, and integrations.
  • Your mission: Make Pocket one of the most loved and indispensable AI products in the world.

What You'll Own

End-to-End Product Experience

  • Own the entire product lifecycle, from onboarding and activation to daily engagement, retention, and monetization.
  • Make every interaction with Pocket feel intuitive, delightful, and genuinely useful.
  • Continuously identify friction, improve product quality, and elevate the customer experience.
  • Define and own product success metrics across activation, engagement, retention, and customer satisfaction.

Product Vision & Strategy

  • Define and execute Pocket's product vision, strategy, and roadmap.
  • Identify new opportunities enabled by capturing real-world conversations.
  • Turn customer insights, emerging AI capabilities, and ambitious ideas into products people love.
  • Make difficult prioritization decisions and ensure the team is focused on what matters most.

AI-Native Product Development

  • Push the boundaries of what is possible with the latest AI models and technologies.
  • Build AI-powered experiences that transform conversations into useful knowledge, actions, and personalized intelligence.
  • Explore agents, proactive assistants, personal memory, contextual intelligence, and entirely new product categories.
  • Experiment rapidly with emerging AI capabilities and bring the best ideas into production.

AI Ecosystem & Integrations

  • Make Pocket deeply connected to the broader AI ecosystem.
  • Build integrations with the tools, platforms, and workflows our customers already use.
  • Explore APIs, MCP, agents, and new ways to make captured knowledge actionable.
  • Turn Pocket into a powerful source of real-world context for AI applications.

Product Execution & Leadership

  • Own and oversee every major product initiative across the company.
  • Work closely with engineering, design, growth, and operations to deliver exceptional products.
  • Drive projects from concept to launch, with clear ownership, priorities, and accountability.
  • Establish a culture of rapid experimentation, high standards, and continuous improvement.
  • Stay extremely close to customers, their feedback, and how they actually use Pocket.

Who You Are

  • You've built and shipped exceptional consumer products that people genuinely love.
  • You have strong product intuition and an exceptional eye for design and user experience.
  • You're deeply passionate about AI and actively experiment with new models, tools, and capabilities.
  • You think from first principles and challenge conventional product assumptions.
  • You combine ambitious long-term thinking with relentless day-to-day execution.
  • You're highly analytical and comfortable making decisions using both data and intuition.
  • You thrive in fast-moving environments with high ownership and little bureaucracy.
  • You can work directly with engineers and designers, challenge ideas, and drive decisions.
  • You care about the smallest product details while understanding the bigger picture.
  • You're a builder at heart, not a process manager.

Bonus points if you've

  • Built a product from 0 to 1 and successfully scaled it.
  • Worked at a world-class consumer technology or AI company.
  • Built products involving LLMs, AI agents, personal knowledge, or developer ecosystems.
  • Worked across both hardware and software experiences.
  • Founded a company or operated as an early product leader at a high-growth startup.
  • Why Join Pocket?
  • Massive opportunity. We're building at the intersection of AI, hardware, and personal intelligence — a category with enormous potential.
  • Real-world scale. Hundreds of thousands of Pocket devices are already in customers' hands. You'll have the opportunity to build and ship products that reach people immediately.
  • Unmatched ownership. You'll own the product experience end to end and have a direct impact on the company's direction.
  • Frontier AI. You'll work with emerging AI capabilities and help define entirely new ways people interact with technology.
  • Work directly with founders. Small team, fast decisions, high ambition, and an obsession with building exceptional products.

The Opportunity

  • Most AI products today only understand what people type, upload, or explicitly tell them.
  • We believe the next generation of AI products will understand the context of people's real lives.
  • Conversations are one of the richest sources of that context.
  • We're building the infrastructure and product experiences to turn those conversations into something extraordinary — with privacy and user trust at the foundation.
  • If you're excited about AI, obsessed with building great products, and believe we can create entirely new categories of software by connecting real-world conversations with the AI ecosystem, we'd love to build with you.
