At Pilot, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy — and we're at an inflection point. AI is fundamentally reshaping what's possible in financial services, and this role sits at the center of that transformation.
We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead Pilot's Agent driven bookkeeping automation platform. This is one of the highest-impact, highest-visibility roles at Pilot. The future of our business, and frankly, the future of bookkeeping as an industry, will be shaped by what this team builds. We're talking about the kind of foundational work that sets a company up for double and triple-digit growth, and positions Pilot as the definitive AI-native back office for small businesses.
The foundation of financial insights is banking data. This team owns the core automation, including agent pipelines, that ensures bank transaction data is accurate, timely, and actionable. You'll drive Pilot's AI transformation from the product layer, architecting how we apply agentic workflows to achieve near-fully autonomous bookkeeping, and setting the standard for how great agent driven products get built and shipped.
This is a generalist PM role at its core, but one that requires deep fluency in AI, not just familiarity. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our engineering and technical teams, speak their language, and make hard technical and product tradeoffs with confidence.
Pilot is at a once-in-a-generation moment. AI is enabling us to reimagine what bookkeeping looks like, moving from human-heavy workflows to intelligent automation that gives small business owners real-time, accurate financial clarity with minimal friction. The PM who leads this area will have direct influence on our growth trajectory, our technical architecture, and our positioning in the market.
This is not a supporting role. It's a defining one, for Pilot, and for the category.
