Senior Product Manager, Lab

Fundraise Up is investing in a Lab function to explore new product lines and step-change growth opportunities. The Lab operates like a small startup: rapidly turning ambiguous opportunities into shipped pilots and clear investment decisions.

About The Role

This is a senior individual contributor (IC) PM role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and can personally drive discovery, experimentation, and early delivery with engineering and design. The core mandate is to build and validate high-uncertainty bets and make explicit Scale / Iterate / Pivot / Kill calls based on evidence.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain a prioritized Lab portfolio/backlog with clear hypotheses, expected upside, effort, dependencies, and status.
• Define the riskiest assumptions for each bet and design experiments with explicit kill criteria.
• Run fast experiments (spikes, prototypes, wizard-of-oz, pilots) and ship “just enough” product to learn—without overbuilding.
• Partner tightly with engineering and design to deliver pilots and instrument them to capture meaningful signals.
• Synthesize outcomes into crisp decisions: Scale / Iterate / Pivot / Kill—and prevent “zombie projects.”
• Create lightweight decision logs and learning summaries to keep leadership and GTM aligned.
• Identify GTM dependencies early (positioning, enablement, pricing, legal, support, etc.) and coordinate cross-functionally.
• When signal is strong, prepare a clean handoff package (what was validated, evidence, remaining risks, success metrics, recommended scaling plan).

Requirements

• Senior PM experience in 0→1 / incubation / new bets (or equivalent track record).
