Associate Product Manager

seoClarity sits at the critical intersection of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). As the search landscape shifts toward AI-driven answers, our data must not only be massive but intelligent. We are looking for an Associate Product Manager to support our Product Management team in accelerating our data evolution. You will build the systems and processes that validate terabytes of data, identify brand-new insights hidden within our datasets, and develop Proofs of Concept (PoCs) that solve complex client challenges. Your goal is to iterate rapidly with the product team to transform raw technical ideas into production-quality features.

What You Will Do:

• Accelerate Data Acquisition: Build and refine systems to ingest and normalize data from new, emerging sources in the AEO and AI Search space.
• Engineer Quality Frameworks: Design automated processes to validate data integrity at scale, ensuring our "source of truth" is beyond reproach.
• Identify New Insights: Use LLMs and advanced data mining to find unique patterns in search behavior, entity relationships, and sentiment that can be turned into new product features.
• Build & Iterate PoCs: Develop functional prototypes for new client solutionsmoving from a "What if?" conversation to a working demo that the Product team can stress-test.
• Bridge to Production: Support the core product team in refining PoC logic to meet the high stability and performance standards required for enterprise production.

Requirements What This Role Requires (The Filters):

• The "Technical Architect" Mindset: You must be able to write Python and SQL to manipulate data and orchestrate LLMs.
• Strategic Problem Solving: You don't just find bugs; you find opportunities in data that others miss.
• AI/LLM Proficiency: Practical experience using LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and RAG frameworks.

What This Role Is NOT:

• This is NOT a "Shadowing" role: You won't be watching people work; you will be building systems that the Product team depends on.
• This is NOT a pure Research project: Your success is measured by how quickly your PoC can be validated for production.
• This is NOT a Remote position: To accelerate data acquisition and iterate with the Product team, you need to be in the room where the decisions happen.

The Reality of This Role:

• Chicago On-Site: You will work from our HQ, collaborating directly with the CEO and Product leads.
• Global Collaboration: You will support our product roadmap which involves coordination with offshore engineering. This requires a flexible mindset for early morning or late evening syncs.
• High Impact: You are here to unblock the Product team. Your work will directly influence the roadmap for our AEO and AI initiatives.
