Senior Product Manager

At Story, we aim to revolutionize how creativity is shared and managed on the internet. The internet has enabled innovative ways of creating and distributing creative works, from remix culture to AI-generated content. However, current intellectual property (IP) systems are outdated, limiting the potential for openness and collaboration. We are building the IP infrastructure that the internet needs — one optimized for creativity, openness, and growth.

Our mission is to unleash the full creative potential of the internet by building a native IP infrastructure layer. Through our open IP repository, creators of prose, images, audio, and more can track the evolution of their works and enable collaborative contributions in a seamless, transparent way. Beyond tracking IP, our platform allows for frictionless composability, empowering creators to contribute to and capture value from shared IP.

As the Senior Product Manager at Story, you will work closely with the leadership team, particularly the CPO, to drive the execution of our product roadmap. Your role will focus on ensuring the timely delivery of our products while integrating user feedback and ensuring our IP infrastructure meets the needs of our community. You will be responsible for aligning the execution of the product strategy with the broader goals of the company, driving the day-to-day processes, and ensuring quality at every stage of product development.
