Senior Product Manager
About Obvio AI
Each year, more than 7,500 pedestrians are killed by drivers in the U.S.—a number that has increased by 70% over the past decade. Despite growing awareness, most cities still struggle to curb dangerous driving. “Vision Zero” efforts across the country are falling short.
Obvio AI exists to change that.
We deploy solar-powered, AI-assisted cameras to enforce traffic laws where pedestrians are most vulnerable—automating enforcement in ways that police departments or traditional systems cannot. Our approach has already led to a dramatic reduction in reckless driving and improved safety for pedestrians, drivers, and law enforcement alike.
Founded by the team behind Motive’s AI dashcam, Obvio is backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures. We recently raised a $22M Series A and are working with some of the most forward-thinking cities in the country. With meaningful revenue, a massive market, and strong policy momentum, we’re building the intelligence layer for safer streets globally.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to take ownership of core product lines that sit at the intersection of cutting-edge AI, hardware, and civic infrastructure. You’ll drive high-impact initiatives across camera intelligence, enforcement workflows, and ticketing operations—collaborating with engineers, city officials, field ops, and courts.
This is a high-leverage role: you'll shape strategy, influence roadmaps across functions, and own products that directly impact public safety outcomes and revenue growth.
What You’ll Do
Lead the end-to-end strategy and execution of critical product initiatives across hardware, software, and operational systems.
Serve as the connective tissue between engineering, operations, legal systems, and government stakeholders.
Design scalable, repeatable solutions for complex public safety problems—from real-time detection to citation delivery and resolution.
Use customer research, data analysis, and intuition to deeply understand user needs and define product direction.
Collaborate with engineering to build technically sound and operationally viable systems.
Shape GTM strategy and product narratives that resonate with policymakers, city partners, and the public.
What We’re Looking For
7+ years of product management experience, with a track record of shipping and scaling impactful products.
Experience working across cross-functional teams and domains—especially where software meets operations or hardware.
Ability to work through ambiguity with structured thinking and clear decision-making.
High customer empathy—across a range of stakeholders like city leaders, law enforcement, and everyday drivers.
Strong technical fluency—you can navigate engineering tradeoffs and speak the language of systems and architecture.
Proven leadership in setting vision, aligning teams, and delivering outcomes with urgency and quality.
Comfortable operating in a founder-led, high-velocity startup environment.
Bonus Points
Experience in govtech, mobility, logistics, or smart infrastructure.
Exposure to computer vision, IoT devices, or regulated systems.
Prior work with public agencies, courts, or field ops-heavy environments.
Based in the Bay Area (or open to relocating).
