Required Skills: •TwelveLabs spent years building the intelligence layer for video: shared infrastructure, multimodal video models, and an agent harness — the orchestration layer — that can understand and reason over video. Our vision for video superintelligence and pioneering work for large-scale video understanding allowed us to raise over $200M from Silicon Valley's best VCs like Index Ventures and NEA and leading enterprises like Nvidia and Amazon that are shaping the future of AI. The next chapter for TwelveLabs is to turn that foundation into products that people can use without needing to understand the technology underneath. •We are hiring a Head of Applications to build that layer. •You will decide where TwelveLabs should play, find the first use cases where our technology creates a step change in the user experience, and turn those insights into products customers use and pay for. You will own the application layer from customer discovery through product, engineering, launch, adoption, and growth. •This is a builder-GM role. It is not a conventional product management job, a growth marketing job, or a large-team executive role. You should be comfortable talking with customers in the morning, working through a product or technical tradeoff in the afternoon, and assembling an exceptional team for the 0-to-1 journey that evening. Ideal candidates will come with 12+ years of experience across product and product leadership roles, preferably at early to mid stage software companies. •IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL •Set the strategy for TwelveLabs' application layer: which users and workflows to serve, what to build, and what not to build. •Find a focused wedge through direct customer discovery, rapid prototyping, and disciplined market testing. •Ship opinionated, AI-native applications for non-technical users on top of TwelveLabs' core models, agent harness, and shared infrastructure. Define application-specific evals, task-success criteria, reliability thresholds, human review, and launch guardrails. •Own the full outcome of the applications you ship, including activation, engagement, retention, monetization, and customer value. Shipping is the start, not the finish. •Build a fast learning loop between users and the product. Turn usage data and customer behavior into better workflows, interfaces, and model experiences. •Act as the demanding internal customer for our platform and model teams. Define the capabilities, APIs, latency, quality, and reliability the application layer needs Compensation: •$200 Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
