About Spara
Spara is building enterprise-grade AI agents to instantly engage, qualify, & convert sales leads into pipeline & revenue. We believe every company will soon provide AI-powered, human-level sales conversations to their customers—and we’re building the platform to make that possible.
Sales is the economic engine of every company, representing an addressable market of $28B. We're solving this complex, high revenue problem with a multi-modal approach including chat, email, voice, and beyond. This gives us a significant advantage in the market and presents exciting engineering opportunities.
We are a tight-knit, experienced team building a multi-billion dollar AI-first company in the heart of New York City. Our culture emphasizes thoughtful decisions, sustainable development practices, and steady momentum building on deep expertise.
Spara is backed by $15M in funding from top-tier venture capital firms, led by Radical Ventures & Inspired Capital, and supported by AI luminaries including founders of PyTorch and Google Cloud TPU, as well as Heads of Sales at Anthropic and OpenAI.
We are led by seasoned multi-time founders with deep AI and go-to-market expertise:
David, previous co-founder/CEO of Triplemint, ran training, coaching, and operations for a 250 person sales team. He led Triplemint to acquisition and currently sits on the board of The Agency RE, a $250M revenue business.
Zander was technical co-founder of Nomad Health (now post-Series D). He most recently led Platform at Hyperscience AI, developing workflow orchestration systems for computer vision models.
This Role
As Director of Product Management at Spara, you will:
Own product strategy and execution for AI-native products used by non-technical GTM teams, defining how hybrid AI/human processes should operate end-to-end.
Work closely with our executive team to manage and grow the Product Management function and team at Spara.
Lead customer discovery and research, running interviews, shadowing sessions, and rapid tests to deeply understand customer pain points and translate them into clear product requirements.
Define quantitative success criteria for every initiative—including adoption, performance, accuracy, latency, quality, and business impact.
Shape and maintain the product roadmap, working closely with leadership to balance customer needs, technical feasibility, and company priorities.
Operate autonomously, driving initiatives from concept → spec → launch → iteration while keeping engineering, design, and leadership aligned.
Stay current on emerging AI capabilities and identify opportunities to apply them to real customer workflows.
Promote a culture of sustainable innovation, tight collaboration, and continuous improvement across product and engineering.
-
Partner deeply with Design and Engineering, ensuring fast cycles, crisp specs, and high-quality releases in a rapid-shipping environment.
Spara ships to production multiple times per day; our engineering team is entirely Staff-level and empowered with AI copilots. Product is embedded directly into this velocity—PMs are expected to move quickly, make well-reasoned decisions with incomplete information, and iterate rapidly in partnership with engineering and design.
