Job Description

Why this role exists

The cost of going from idea to working prototype has collapsed. One person with taste, domain expertise, and AI tools can now do what used to require a full team and a sprint cycle. The PM role isn't disappearing, but the version of it that stops at specs and handoffs is.

Apollo is hiring for what comes next. We call them Product Builders. People who carry practitioner-level GTM expertise, prototype fast, and close the loop from customer insight to production validation without waiting for someone else to move first. Smaller teams, fewer handoffs, end-to-end ownership. If that's how you already work, we should talk.

Dialing is one of the highest frequency workflows in outbound and a direct lever on meetings booked. Today the experience is fragmented across surfaces, reliability isn't where it needs to be, and reps lose time to friction that compounds. This is the moment to make Apollo Dialer the fastest and most reliable way for reps to turn a target list into live conversations.

 

What you will own

  • Dialer vision, strategy, and roadmap, including quarterly planning and sequencing of bets.
  • Core dialing workflows across Tasks, People, Sequences, and reporting.
  • Dialer quality bar including reliability, performance, and the instrumentation to measure it.
  • The end-to-end dialing experience from setup through daily execution for individual reps and managers.

 

What you will do

  • Go deep with customers. Understand their workflows through direct engagement and research, at the level of someone who has lived them. Use that understanding to set strategy and own your roadmap.
  • Prototype fast. Use Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools to validate ideas with something tangible before committing engineering resources. Ship to learn, then ship to scale.
  • Write clear specs and make hard tradeoffs. Define the quality bar. Partner with design on experience and with engineering on delivery. Stay in the loop, not just in the doc.
  • Measure whether it worked. Work with analytics to track whether what you shipped changed behavior. Feed what you learn back into the next cycle.
  • Drive alignment across GTM, Support, and cross-functional partners so what ships actually lands, meaning behavior changes, feedback loops close, and adoption follows.
  • Make dialing feel native across Tasks, People, and Sequences with fewer steps and less cognitive load.
  • Improve reliability, responsiveness, and usage consistency to support high volume calling and enterprise expectations.
  • Introduce capabilities that redefine what great looks like, including smarter prioritization and AI assisted workflows.

 

What we are looking for

  • AI-native builder. You prototype with tools like Claude Code and Cursor and can show something you shipped, not just a spec you wrote.
  • High agency and strong ownership. You create clarity in ambiguous environments and push work forward without waiting for direction.
  • Product judgment. You focus on the highest leverage problems, make hard tradeoffs, and say no to good ideas to protect great ones.
  • Deep empathy for SDRs and AEs. You understand the daily rhythm of outbound calling because you have lived it or built for it at depth.
  • Execution excellence. You define, ship, measure, and iterate without thrash. You treat shipping as the beginning of the work, not the end.
  • Technical fluency. You engage with engineering on performance, reliability, and integrations as a credible partner, not a passenger.
  • Domain expertise. You have lived the GTM motion you are building for. You have carried a bag, run the workflow, or built for the persona at depth.
  • Strong collaborator. You move fast and bring others with you. You communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and make the people around you better.
  • Experience building sales execution products such as dialers, sales engagement platforms, conversation intelligence, sequencing, or pipeline workflow tools.
