Job Description
About LiveKit
LiveKit is the developer platform for building and operating real-time voice AI agents. We started as the leading open-source WebRTC platform and have grown into a comprehensive stack: SDKs and developer tooling, agent hosting, inference, telephony, and observability. Our goal is to become the default platform for voice agents, the way Stripe became the default for payments.
We're venture-backed, growing fast, and working with some of the largest companies in the world as they deploy voice agents at massive scale.
You'll thrive at LiveKit if you:

About This Role:
We're looking for a Product Manager to own the relationship between our product/engineering teams and the customers in our sales cycle. That includes everything from mid-market commercial accounts to seven-figure-plus enterprise deals.
Today, our PM team is small and high-leverage. Each PM acts as a bridge between a go-to-market motion and the engineering teams that build the platform. This role is the counterpart to our Growth PM (who focuses on self-serve developer adoption). You'll be the primary product voice for customers going through the sales process and scaling in production.
This means you'll spend real time with customers and prospects, deeply understand what's blocking them from going to production or expanding usage, and translate that into roadmap priorities that engineering teams can act on. You'll also be the connective tissue between our sales org and engineering, making sure both sides have context, alignment, and a shared sense of what matters.
What You'll Do:
* Be the product expert in the room for sales-cycle customers.Join calls, understand technical requirements, and help prospects see how LiveKit fits their architecture, working alongside solutions engineers and account executives.
