Senior Product Manager London, United Kingdom

PolyAI automates customer service through lifelike voice assistants that let customers lead a conversation. Our voice assistants make it possible for businesses to deliver outstanding customer service that rivals their human agents. Our customers, which include the world’s leading logos, are expanding how they use our platform, driving automation of critical customer service operations and integrating PolyAI into their daily customer service workflows. Enterprises trust our voice‑first platform to handle millions of conversations every day. Your mission is to extend that market‑leading experience to every text surface —starting with Webchat and WhatsApp and expanding into Email, SMS, and whatever channel comes next.

We are looking for a curious and analytical Senior PM who is passionate about owning the strategy, roadmap, and execution that gets us there. You’ll collaborate with exceptional product, research, engineering, and deployment teams to ship production‑ready, LLM‑powered agents that feel as natural as talking to a human. If you’re driven to solve real user problems, insist on truth‑seeking AI, and delight in turning frontier research into intuitive, trustworthy experiences, we want to meet you.
