ABOUT MIA LABS
Mia is the AI communication platform for car dealerships. We answer and act on every inbound call, text and web lead so dealers stop losing service appointments and sales to voicemail. Franchise dealers and some of the largest dealer groups in the country run on Mia.
Who You Are
You thrive on creating structure, communicate clearly, and can plug into a new team with almost no hand-holding. You quickly build the product knowledge and processes needed to get everyone rowing in the same direction.
What You Will Do
- Own and deliver Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) that clearly align user needs with technical capabilities.
- Build and maintain product roadmaps, working closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to align goals, set priorities, and manage expectations.
- Communicate fluidly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders — translating between engineering-speak and business lingo.
- Integrate AI tooling and ML products into workflows to boost team velocity and product capabilities.
- Partner with vendors to access APIs and third-party data sources — contributing to our growing data moat and overall product intelligence.
- Collaborate with sales and customer success to shape feature launches and set realistic customer expectations with spec sheets, support docs, and pre-sales collateral.
- Run user studies, pilot programs, go-to-market, and gather user feedback to inform roadmap and feature refinement.
- Lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retros with product ownership and accountability.
- Utilize SQL and analytics tools to understand user behavior and product performance. Use data to tell compelling stories and make high-quality decisions.
- Keep your finger on the pulse of the automotive industry and evolving tech to keep Mia ahead of the curve.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in product management with a strong technical foundation.
- Demonstrated ability to write clear, concise PRDs and specs.
- Process driven and fluent in product methodologies, project management tools, and shipping fast with high quality.
- Comfortable using SQL, dashboard tools, and working with analytics teams.
- Proven success managing API integrations and working with external vendors to unlock new capabilities.
- Superb communicator with a knack for explaining complex things simply.
- Thrives in startup environments: resourceful, autonomous, and ready to work in a high-intensity environment with minimal guidance.
- Experience in the automotive industry
- Lives in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX — 3 days a week in our office (we’re building something real, together).
What makes you stand out (Nice to haves)
- Familiarity with modern AI/ML tools (e.g., LLMs, embeddings, vector DBs) and how they can drive product development and automation. Experience running usability studies, gathering qualitative insights, and validating product-market fit.
- Previous software engineering experience.
- Deep knowledge of automotive dealership operations, CRMs, and customer lifecycle in car sales or service.
- Experience scaling AI or automation-based products in high-touch industries (e.g. healthcare, logistics, customer support).
WHY MIA
- Equity participation through stock options.
- Fully paid health, vision & dental insurance for employees.
- Flexible PTO and hybrid schedule (3 days / week in downtown Austin).
- Free lunches, parking stipend provided, team events, and a casual, but get things done culture.
