Senior Product Manager, Internal Tools

The posting, as Osmo wrote it

WHO WE ARE AT OSMO

Osmo is the Olfactory Intelligence company, on a mission to give AI a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell has the ability to delight us, protect us, and heal us.

Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone.

We're headquartered in Elizabeth, NJ, with an additional office in Somerville, MA. We provide complimentary shuttle service from Brooklyn and Newark, NJ.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Technical Product Manager to be our product’s right hand as Osmo scales its Software and AI organization. This is a hands-on product role, not a program management role — you'll own scoping, requirements, and delivery negotiation directly, working independently from day one.

Your first mandate: Osmo's internal workflows are largely manual today, and information doesn't always flow through our systems the way it should. You'll identify the 3-5 tools that would drive 80% of the impact, embed with the relevant teams to master the problem, and come out with clear requirements that get built. From there, expect to move across workstreams as priorities shift, applying the same structural skills to a new domain. You'll work closely with engineering throughout, and you'll need to hold your own there: when an estimate doesn't add up, you push back with specifics, ask for the breakdown, and know how to simplify a requirement to get something shipped faster. This role takes real tenacity to drive scope and delivery under ambiguity, and real kindness in how you ask a stretched engineering team for more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Scope With Rigor — Independently scope projects end to end: understand the business value and customer need, then write clear, complete requirements that inform what engineering builds.
• Negotiate Scope and Estimates — When an engineering estimate doesn't match reality, push back with tenacity: ask for the breakdown, identify what's actually driving the cost, and simplify or revise the requirement to get to a faster, leaner build.
• Find the 80% — Scope Osmo's highest-value internal tooling opportunities: identify the 3-5 tools that would drive the majority of workflow impact, then sequence and prioritize the build.
• Embed and Master — Rapidly insert yourself into a workstream, understand it deeply, and come out with the requirements and plan to fix what's broken.
• Partner Directly With Engineering — Work hand-in-hand with the CTO’s team to get scoped work built and delivered against committed dates.
• Operate Without a Script — Take high-level direction into an ambiguous space and bring back clarity, milestones, and a plan — with the curiosity to figure out what's actually needed rather than waiting to be told.
• Bring Structure Without B
