Product Builder (Product Manager), AI Agents at Apollo.io

Apollo.io is the leading go-to-market solution for revenue teams, trusted by over 500,000 companies and millions of users globally.

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.

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.

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.
AI quality and evaluation infrastructure across accuracy, relevance, and reliability.

What you will do

Go deep with customers. Understand their workflows through direct engagement and research.
Prototype fast. Use Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools to validate ideas with something tangible before committing engineering resources.
Write clear specs and make hard tradeoffs.
Define the trust model. Design the progressive autonomy system.
Build and scale evaluation infrastructure. Spend time in production data reviewing real agent sessions, identifying failure patterns.
Measure whether it worked.
Drive alignment across GTM, Support, and cross-functional partners.

What we are looking for

AI-native builder. You prototype with tools like Claude Code and Cursor and can show something you shipped.
High agency and strong ownership.
Product judgment.
Customer empathy.
Execution excellence.
Technical fluency. You engage with engineering as a credible partner, not a passenger.
Domain expertise.
Strong collaborator.
Experience shipping agentic AI products. Deep understanding of LLMs, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, orchestration, trust models, failure handling, and evaluation of autonomous systems at scale.

Pay Range: $161,900 — $249,300 USD (Tier 1 locations)

We are AI Native

Apollo.io is an AI-native company built on a culture of continuous improvement.
