Product Manager (L7), Video Creation & Editing

Welcome to the video first world. From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI will transform the way we create and consume content. Today, people want to watch and listen, not read. This is true both at home and at work.

Despite the clear preference for video, communication and knowledge sharing in the business environment are still dominated by text, largely because high-quality video production remains complex and challenging to scale—until now.

Meet Synthesia. We’re on a mission to make video easy for everyone. Our AI video communications platform simplifies the entire video production process, making it easy for everyone, regardless of skill level, to create, collaborate, and share high-quality videos. Whether it’s for delivering essential training to employees and customers or marketing products and services, Synthesia enables large organizations to communicate and share knowledge through video quickly and efficiently.

As a Product Manager (L7), you will own the vision and strategy for our platform, encompassing the Editor, Player, and public APIs. You will lead the effort to unify creation workflows and ensure a seamless experience across video editing, playback, and integration surfaces. This role offers the unique opportunity to shape how videos are created, scaled, and consumed at enterprise scale, influencing a product used by a diverse community from freelancers to 90% of Fortune 100 companies.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Design, Engineering, and Infrastructure, to drive platform usability, performance, and extensibility.
