The Paradigm Shift: Why This Role Exists
The classical era of software development where a Product Manager sits in meetings for months, writes a 30-page product requirement document (PRD), and throws it over a wall to engineering to build is no longer the PM job. With the rise of AI assistants, rapid prototyping tools, and "vibe coding," the structural bottleneck isn't writing code anymore. It’s having impeccable product taste, deep domain nuance, and the execution speed to find the right solution before the market shifts. At Yext, we are the trusted source of truth for the world's largest multi-location enterprises for their marketing. Our platform ensures that when a consumer asks an AI assistant or a search engine about a brand, the answer is accurate, localized, and context-aware. We don't need an agile process coordinator. We need a high-agency Product Builder.
