Company mission
To empower everyone to make video content - without cameras, microphones or studios.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience managing world-class products or cutting edge research
- Strong product opinions and taste - not shying away from proposing solutions based on your intuition and experience
- Ability to think at a high level about product strategy and bridge business goals with technical considerations
- Expertise in machine learning and AI - you must be able to read an ML paper, understand what this could mean for our product and explain it to others; you’ve experimented with ML models (stable diffusion, dreambooth etc.)
- Ability to take ownership of the end-to-end idea to product process and work as self-directed member of the development team
- Strong UX focus and understanding of human behaviour
- Proven track record of shipping impactful products
- Outstanding communication skills
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to oversee the research efforts behind our avatars
- You will significantly shape our technology and research roadmap
- You'll be working very closely with our Head of Product, other PMs, Researchers, Engineers, and Research Leaders on imagining the future of avatar technology, synthetic media, and programmable video
- As a Senior Product Manager, you will help us create a name for Synthesia as the most innovative video creation platform, period
- You will stay on top of new and exciting developments in the computer vision research community and relate those to the needs demonstrated by our users when using Studio
- You’ll help identify and frame opportunities for our research team to tackle, provide feedback along the research cycle and turn research breakthroughs into product features
- This is (at least we think!) the coolest job in the generative AI space you can find
- You’ll be bridging state-of-the-art research and product development
- You will constantly be creating new experiments and prototypes that inspire and show the way to others
- You will not only demonstrate an understanding of the tech but also the creativity and vision necessary to shape our industry in the long run
- Our strategy is to bring generative video to the enterprise, one use case at a time
- You will need to be one of the people that chip at the problem, figuring out how we get there step by step
- Our product team is an inflection point and if you’ve worked at previous companies thinking there’s a better way to do product, this is your opportunity to shape things the way you always thought they should be
Our take
Video is an integral part of companies’ marketing strategies, and the adoption of synthetic media has grown in popularity. As organisations are investing in videos, startups are building platforms to support the process. Synthesia is an AI-powered video generation platform that saves enterprises up to 100x the cost and time of producing a video.
The company leverages deep learning to simulate real videos and real actors without the need for costly infrastructure like camera crews, actors, cameras, studios, and a lengthy post-production process. Synthesia’s first product STUDIO launched in public beta in the summer of 2020 and it is now used by 30,000+ companies, including the BBC, Teleperformance, Amazon, and Reuters.
Notably, Prof. Matthias Niessner, one of the co-founders of the company, is behind some of the most well-recognised research projects in the field Deep Video Portraits and Face2Face. The company's intuitive interface has grown to become the #1 rated video creation platform, proving its strong ability to capitalise on the growing AI in media market – which is estimated to be worth $99.48 Billion by 2030.
