Associate Product Manager

About UneeQ

UneeQ is an artificial intelligence company, developing the most advanced autonomous digital human platform available for customer interactions. Our mission is to deliver digital human experiences that reduce complexity, improve conversions and create memorable customer moments for brands.

Working at the leading edge of technology, UneeQ is fast-paced and constantly evolving. We are a remote-first workplace and have people located in New Zealand, the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe.

We are deeply committed to living our values and fostering a culture and work practices where our people can do their best work, make an impact and thrive.

About the role

This is a creative and hands-on role for someone who loves connecting directly with customers to uncover real needs, spark adoption, and turn insights into product direction.

While we're a remote-first Company and work independently day-to-day, we occasionally meet up in person to collaborate and work together. We're ideally looking for someone based in Auckland, as parts of the team tend to meet up about once a month to connect, share ideas, and work on bigger projects. We also have a brand-new co-working space in Auckland, and there are monthly social events to connect with the wider company and catch up in person.

There's lots of room for growth in this role - it's independent, with plenty of space to experiment, improve, and influence how our product evolves. You'll play a key part in shaping the future of our Immersive Training Platform by linking customer feedback, internal priorities, and product execution.

You'll also get the chance to collaborate with some well-known, exciting customers who are using our tech in innovative ways. If you're someone who enjoys variety, ownership, and impact - this role is for you

What you'll be doing and key responsibilities ‍

Later, you might wrap up your day by presenting improvements and ideas to the product and engineering teams - helping turn insights into real action. You'll be our go-to product expert, working in a high-paced startup environment with lots of fun and meaningful tasks. Your responsibilities will include:

• Meeting with customers to understand their goals, workflows, and challenges.
• Helping customers get onboarding to the product and continuously ensuring they're set up for success.

• Taking initiative across varied tasks - from documentation to testing - as needed in our fast-moving team.
