Product Manager (Product + Execution)

VidRush is an AI-native video production platform that replaces an entire video team with coordinated AI agents. Creators turn a simple idea into a fully produced, long-form video—research, script, voiceover, visuals, motion graphics, and rendering—in under an hour. No timelines. No editing headaches. Just intent → finished video. We’re building a new way to create video that feels more like writing than editing, and we’re already seeing strong traction from serious creators and media teams.
