Why this role exists

The cost of going from idea to working prototype has collapsed. One person with taste, domain expertise, and AI tools can now do what used to require a full team and a sprint cycle. The PM role isn't disappearing, but the version of it that stops at specs and handoffs is.

Apollo is hiring for what comes next. We call them Product Builders. People who carry practitioner-level GTM expertise, prototype fast, and close the loop from customer insight to production validation without waiting for someone else to move first. Smaller teams, fewer handoffs, end-to-end ownership. If that's how you already work, we should talk.

Apollo's AI Assistant already has 21K weekly active users since GA in early March and helps users book 2x more meetings in their first 14 days. The platform powers over 564M AI prospecting actions annually. This role owns Autonomous AI Agents, the evolution of Apollo's AI Assistant into a goal-oriented, always-on direct report for every rep. You will define how the assistant orchestrates specialized agents, earns trust through progressive autonomy, and works where reps work across every channel they use.

 

What you will own

  • Agentic orchestration spanning scheduled, event-driven, and user-initiated execution modes, defining how the assistant continuously works on behalf of each rep across heartbeat routines, real-time signal responses, and direct requests.
  • Progressive autonomy framework that governs how the assistant earns trust over time, moving from fully supervised actions to autonomous execution within admin-defined boundaries.
  • Multi-channel delivery so the assistant works where reps work: Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email, SMS, and in-product, with daily briefs, hot lead alerts, draft outreach, meeting prep, and escalations.
  • AI quality and evaluation infrastructure across accuracy, relevance, and reliability. Nothing ships without hitting quality thresholds.

 

What you will do

  • Go deep with customers. Understand their workflows through direct engagement and research, at the level of someone who has lived them. Use that understanding to set strategy and own your roadmap.
  • Prototype fast. Use Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools to validate ideas with something tangible before committing engineering resources. Ship to learn, then ship to scale.
  • Write clear specs and make hard tradeoffs. Define the quality bar. Partner with design on experience and with engineering on delivery. Stay in the loop, not just in the doc.
  • Define the trust model. Design the progressive autonomy system, how the assistant earns permission to act independently, how admins set boundaries, and how reps control their comfort level within them.
  • Build and scale evaluation infrastructure. Spend time in production data reviewing real agent sessions, identifying failure patterns in orchestration and execution, and turning them into systematic improvements.
  • Measure whether it worked. Work with analytics to track whether what you shipped changed behavior, including meetings booked, hours saved, time-to-first-win, and NRR impact. Feed what you learn back into the next cycle.
  • Drive alignment across GTM, Support, and cross-functional partners so what ships actually lands, meaning behavior changes, feedback loops close, and adoption follows.

 

What we are looking for

  • AI-native builder. You prototype with tools like Claude Code and Cursor and can show something you shipped, not just a spec you wrote.
  • High agency and strong ownership. You create clarity in ambiguous environments and push work forward without waiting for direction.
  • Product judgment. You focus on the highest leverage problems, make hard tradeoffs, and say no to good ideas to protect great ones.
  • Customer empathy. You understand how the people you are building for work day to day and optimize for their speed and confidence, not your own elegance.
  • Execution excellence. You define, ship, measure, and iterate without thrash. You treat shipping as the beginning of the work, not the end.
  • Technical fluency. You engage with engineering on performance, reliability, and integrations as a credible partner, not a passenger.
  • Domain expertise. You have lived the GTM motion you are building for. You have carried a bag, run the workflow, or built for the persona at depth.
  • Strong collaborator. You move fast and bring others with you. You communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and make the people around you better.
  • Experience shipping agentic AI products. You have put autonomous agents into production that handled real workflows and drove measurable business outcomes. Deep understanding of LLMs, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, orchestration, trust models, failure handling, and evaluation of autonomous systems at scale. Bonus: you have built your own GTM agent.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
