Mantle
AI-powered agent coordinates eldercare logistics
We’re building an AI agent to help families support their aging parents (origin story here).
Over 40M “sandwich generation” Americans currently manage their parent’s affairs. Keeping mom/dad safe and supported is like a second job: it’s time-consuming, stressful and on top of their already busy lives. We believe that managing our parents’ affairs should feel under control, easier and lower stress.
Co-founded by serial entrepreneur partners including Ted Zagat, who sold his previous businesses to Slack (announcement here) and Google (Zagat restaurant guides).
We are looking for a Product Manager to help turn Mantle's vision into a product families love. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to shape a consumer AI product from its earliest days. You will work side-by-side with the founders, design and engineering to decide what we build, why, and in what order.
This is a role for a builder. In the early days, product management at Mantle is less about roadmaps and process and more about getting close to families, finding the problems that matter most, and shipping solutions quickly. It's not just about strategy; it's about the unglamorous work of talking to users, writing crisp specs, triaging bugs and making sure nothing falls through the cracks between idea and launch.
Product discovery: Build a deep, ongoing understanding of the families we serve and the problems that matter most to them.
Product strategy and roadmap: Translate our vision into clear priorities, and make the tradeoffs that keep the team focused.
AI product experiences: Define how our agent behaves, what it does on a family's behalf, and how it earns their trust.
Launch and iteration: Take features from concept to launch, then measure, learn and improve them.
Product analytics: Establish the metrics and instrumentation that tell us what's working and what isn't.
Operating cadence: Shape how product, design and engineering plan, prioritize, communicate and deliver.
4+ years of product management experience, ideally on consumer products
Track record of shipping consumer products end-to-end, from discovery to launch to iteration
Experience working closely with engineering and design in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment
Strong analytical skills and comfort making data-informed decisions
AI adept: savvy with AI tools (LLMs, agents), and hands-on experience building AI-powered product experiences
Early-stage startup experience where you wore many hats
Experience building consumer products in sensitive, high-trust categories
Strong product sense and a clear instinct for what matters to users
Comfortable prototyping your own ideas with modern AI and design tools
Mission-driven: You care deeply about helping families navigate the complexities of aging
Nice to have, but not required: experience with FinTech
Builders: You love creating things from scratch and taking full ownership
User-obsessed: You start every decision with the people we serve
Founder-minded: You think like an owner and care deeply about company outcomes
AI-forward: You embrace modern AI
Strategic and pragmatic: You see the big picture but are also willing to do the manual work required to get there
Great collaborator: You foster great working relationships
Autonomous: You thrive with minimal direction
Mission-driven: You care about what we're building
Meaningful work: Build a consumer product that will make a real difference in the lives of millions of families, with real ownership, fast pace, and huge financial potential
Founding scope: Shape our product strategy and culture from the very beginning
Partnership with founders: Work closely with Mantle's co-founders and other company leaders
Learning & growth: Opportunity to build a category-defining company from the ground up
Real ownership: Your decisions will shape our product, business and culture
Remote Fridays: Work from home every Friday. Monday through Thursday, we build together in person in San Francisco
Mantle builds an AI-powered agent to help adults in the sandwich generation manage their aging parents’ care. It focuses on simplifying the administrative and logistical burden of caregiving—like handling finances, healthcare appointments, paperwork, and digital logins—through an autonomous AI assistant. Unlike generic care platforms, Mantle targets tens of millions of families juggling elder care and personal obligations, and emphasizes coordinating complex tasks across finances, medical needs, and documents with an agent that can streamline workflows and reduce risk of scams or oversights. The founders’ experience in building scalable technology products helps differentiate Mantle through execution and product discipline. The company’s goal is to give families peace of mind and more quality time with loved ones by making eldercare management easier, safer, and more reliable.
