About the Role

At MentorX, we are building next-generation AI-native products that bridge education and real-world career readiness.

We are looking for an Associate AI Product Manager — an entry-level product role designed for candidates with strong product thinking and high AI literacy.

This is not a coding role.

Instead, you will learn how to translate real user problems into AI-powered solutions, design workflows around LLM capabilities, and evaluate whether AI should (or should not) be used in a feature.

You will work closely with senior PMs, engineers, and designers to ship real features and grow into a full Product Manager.

What You Will Do

Product Thinking & Execution

· Assist in defining product features, user flows, and success metrics

· Draft PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria

· Break down ambiguous ideas into structured product requirements

· Participate in sprint planning and feature reviews

AI-Native Product Design

· Design workflows using LLMs, agents, and automation tools

· Evaluate when AI improves user experience vs. creates friction

· Prototype product logic using prompting, prompt chains, or agent workflows

· Test and iterate AI outputs for reliability and usability

User & Data Insight

· Analyze user behavior and identify pain points

· Run small experiments to validate product assumptions

· Track feature performance and propose improvements

Research & Market Awareness

· Monitor trends in Generative AI and AI products

· Analyze competing products and summarize actionable insights

· Help define product positioning and differentiation

Cross-Functional Collaboration

· Communicate product logic to engineers and designers

· Align technical feasibility with business goals

· Support product launches and documentation

Basic Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree (or graduating soon) in any analytical field

(Business, Engineering, CS, Psychology, Economics, Information Systems, etc.)

· Strong logical thinking and structured communication

· Ability to break complex problems into clear steps

· Comfortable writing structured documents

AI Literacy (Required)

You do NOT need to train models, but you must:

· Regularly use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.)

· Understand basic concepts: prompts, context window, hallucination, reasoning limits

· Know strengths & weaknesses of LLMs in real tasks

· Be able to design workflows using AI instead of manually doing work

Communication

· Fluent in English and Mandarin (for internal collaboration)

Preferred (Nice to Have)

· Personal projects using AI tools (automation, agents, workflows, etc.)

· Experience writing PRDs, research reports, or structured documentation

· Basic understanding of APIs or no-code tools (Zapier, n8n, etc.)

· Internship experience in product, consulting, operations, or analytics

What You Will Gain

· Real product shipping experience

· Mentorship toward full Product Manager role

· Hands-on experience designing AI-native products

· Understanding of how AI changes product strategy
