Product Manager (Dashboards & Frontend)
Everything we do at TDL is guided by SPICE: Socially conscious, Pragmatic, Inventive, Catalytic, and Evidence-based. You can read more about us and our core values here.
Why this role is important for TDL
We started The Decision Lab because we saw a big gap between what science & technology can offer and what is actually applied in the real world. We believe that decision science - spanning psychology, neuroscience, and AI - has the power to fill that gap.
We are not just consultants; we are a team of tinkerers. As Product Manager for Dashboards & Frontend, you will own the customer-facing side of our products: the dashboards and features our clients use to see and act on their data. You will sit at the intersection of product, design, and behavioral science, turning what clients tell us into what we build next.
You will work directly with our vibe coder, who builds what you spec. Your job is to make sure that what gets built is the right thing, clearly defined, and polished before it ships.
What you'll be working on
Customer Feedback to Specs: Turn client feedback and loose requirements into clear, buildable specs, so nothing gets lost between what a client asked for and what gets shipped.
Roadmap Prioritization: Own and prioritize a fast-moving roadmap for our dashboards and frontend features, making the call on what matters most and saying no when needed.
Working Prototypes: Prototype features yourself with AI tools, so our vibe coder gets working references to build from rather than long documents.
Release QA: QA every release before it ships. You are the last line of defense on usability, data accuracy, and visual quality.
Who you are
You are an experienced product manager who has fully embraced AI-native building. You move fast, you sweat the details, and you’d rather show than tell.
The Eye: You have strong UX judgment. You notice when a chart misleads, a filter is in the wrong place, or a flow has one step too many, and you know how to fix it.
The Toolkit: You prototype and write specs with Claude, Cursor, v0 or similar tools as part of your daily work. Anyone working manually won’t keep up.
The Data Sense: You are comfortable with data-heavy products. You understand what users need from a dashboard and can tell when the numbers on screen don’t look right.
The Mindset: You are comfortable with ambiguity. You can take a vague client request (“We need a better way to see this”) and turn it into a clear plan without waiting for perfect information, making calls on the fly or quickly validating with a colleague.
The Mission: You care about the world. You want your work to contribute to projects that improve health, education, and financial well-being.
Requirements
Experience: 4+ years of product management on enterprise SaaS products or data-heavy dashboards.
Design Literacy: Comfortable working in Figma, from reviewing designs to creating wireframes and flows yourself.
AI Fluency: Demonstrated experience using AI tools to prototype, write specs, or accelerate product work.
Portfolio: Examples of specs, prototypes, or products you’ve shaped. Links to live products or sample work are a plus.
Communication: Strong proficiency in English. You must be able to work with clients, behavioral scientists, and engineers alike.
Autonomy: A self-directed work ethic. Since this role is remote and output-based, you need to manage your own time and priorities independently.
