Intent Manager

Location: Remote

Quintegro builds digital products for US-based clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. We operate as embedded product and engineering partners — owning the full lifecycle from product strategy and discovery through design, engineering, QA, DevOps, CI/CD, launch, and long-term evolution.

We are also an innovation partner for organizations that need to move faster than traditional internal teams allow: validating ideas, building MVPs, accelerating delivery with AI, and creating scalable product systems.

Our delivery model is built around small, autonomous Pods — cross-functional teams that combine human expertise with modern AI tooling and agentic workflows.


Each Pod typically includes:

  • Intent Manager — owns business outcomes, stakeholder alignment, product direction, and success measurement
  • Product Engineer — full-cycle builder responsible for implementation, systems thinking, and AI-accelerated delivery
  • Architect — responsible for system architecture, platform scalability, technical standards, security, reliability, and long-term maintainability
  • Designer — shapes user experience, interaction flows, and product clarity
  • QA — owns quality strategy, validation systems, and reliability

We believe modern product development is no longer about managing tickets across silos. It is about high-agency teams using AI effectively to reduce friction, compress feedback loops, and maximize customer impact.

We intentionally structure Pods so that every role remains partially hands-on in building products. Intent Managers prototype and validate ideas directly in code and AI tools, Designers contribute through interactive systems and AI-assisted workflows, QA engineers automate and extend validation systems, and Architects actively shape implementation decisions alongside Product Engineers.

If you thrive in ambiguity, think in systems, communicate clearly with both business and technical stakeholders, and want to help redefine product management in the age of AI-assisted software development — we’d love to talk.

About the Role

The Intent Manager owns the why behind product development.

This role is responsible for translating business intent into clear product direction, measurable outcomes, and aligned execution across the Pod.

The Intent Manager does not function as a traditional backlog administrator or project coordinator. Instead, they act as the central force for:

  • clarifying business objectives,
  • aligning stakeholders,
  • reducing ambiguity,
  • validating assumptions,
  • prioritizing outcomes over output,
  • and ensuring the Pod builds the right thing.

You will work closely with Product Engineers, Architects, Designers, and QA specialists in highly collaborative, AI-enabled workflows where rapid iteration and autonomous execution are expected.

The ideal candidate combines strong product thinking, business communication, technical fluency, systems thinking, and hands-on comfort with modern AI tooling and lightweight implementation work.

What You’ll Do

Own Product Intent & Outcomes

  • Define and continuously refine product goals, business context, user value, constraints, risks, and success metrics
  • Create clear, actionable product intent documents (BRDs, opportunity briefs, AI-readable context, acceptance boundaries, outcome definitions)
  • Ensure delivery decisions remain aligned with business objectives throughout the lifecycle
  • Drive prioritization based on impact, learning velocity, and customer value
  • Resolve ambiguity when implementation details diverge from intended outcomes

Work Inside Autonomous AI-First Pods

  • Collaborate daily with Product Engineers, Architects, Designers, and QA
  • Participate directly in discovery, planning, validation, and delivery workflows
  • Help structure work in ways that maximize AI leverage without compromising quality or clarity
  • Contribute to faster decision-making by maintaining high-context communication and reducing organizational friction
  • Support asynchronous, documentation-first collaboration across distributed teams

Validate Ideas Early

  • Use AI tools and lightweight coding to rapidly prototype concepts, workflows, interfaces, automations, and user journeys
  • Validate assumptions before significant engineering investment through prototypes, experiments, exploratory implementations, and direct interaction with AI-assisted development tools
  • Conduct lightweight discovery and experimentation with real-world constraints in mind
  • Translate customer feedback and stakeholder input into actionable product direction

Drive Stakeholder Alignment

  • Build strong relationships with clients, executives, users, and internal teams
  • Lead product conversations with clarity, ownership, and credibility
  • Communicate tradeoffs, risks, timelines, and priorities effectively
  • Keep stakeholders aligned through evolving requirements and changing business realities

Measure Product Success

  • Define success metrics and instrumentation strategies
  • Analyze product outcomes and user behavior after release
  • Determine whether delivered features actually solved the intended problems
  • Use analytics, qualitative feedback, and experimentation to guide future iterations


What We’re Looking For

Required

  • 5+ years of experience in product management, product ownership, technical product management, startup leadership, or equivalent high-agency product roles
  • Strong ability to translate ambiguous business problems into actionable product direction
  • Experience working closely with engineering teams in modern software delivery environments
  • Technical fluency and the ability to understand implementation tradeoffs, system constraints, and delivery implications
  • Hands-on experience using modern AI tools for product work, research, prototyping, lightweight implementation, analysis, communication, or workflow automation
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills with experience working directly with US-based clients or international stakeholders
  • Strong systems thinking, prioritization, and decision-making skills
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environments with high ownership
  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a strong learning mindset

Strong Plus

  • Experience in AI-native or AI-assisted product development environments
  • Experience in startups, consulting, agencies, or cross-functional product organizations
  • Experience with analytics, experimentation, or growth/product optimization
  • Background in e-commerce, marketplaces, SaaS, fintech, logistics, or operational systems
  • Familiarity with agentic workflows, AI copilots, automation systems, or prompt-driven product operations
  • Previous technical background as an engineer, architect, founder, or technical lead

How We Work

At Quintegro, we optimize for:

  • Small, autonomous teams
  • High ownership and accountability
  • Fast feedback loops
  • AI-accelerated execution

We value people who:

  • proactively solve problems,
  • communicate clearly,
  • think critically,
  • embrace modern tooling,
  • and care deeply about building useful products.

What We Offer

  • Remote-first work environment with flexible hours and consistent working overlap across EST and CET time zones as part of collaborative Pod operations
  • High autonomy and real influence over product and delivery decisions
  • Opportunity to shape how AI-first product development teams operate
  • Access to modern AI tools, cloud resources, and experimentation environments
  • Diverse and challenging projects across startups and enterprise organizations
  • Collaborative engineering-first culture with strong technical peers
