What Tendem is

Tendem AI — the first hybrid AI+human agent, an Uber for knowledge work. We take in a client’s request and use an AI workflow supervised and refined by human experts to produce high‑quality deliverables. It is positioned as an alternative to both pure AI assistants and freelance platforms, aiming to give the speed of AI with the reliability and accountability of experienced professionals.

At the heart of Tendem is a hybrid LLM+human execution agent. It breaks down tasks, plans, executes, knows its own limits, selects an expert from the Toloka marketplace, and brings them into the loop. The agent and the expert work in a tight feedback cycle — passing drafts back and forth, checking each other’s work. Tendem understands what’s happening inside the task, manages it end‑to‑end, and is accountable for the final outcome. This is no longer traditional client–freelancer matching only.

Tendem is built for busy professionals who need to delegate tasks and trust the result.

Versus AI‑only tools: Tendem delivers 1. 8x higher quality, with consistent reliability and manageable turnaround times.

Versus human‑only freelance platforms: Tendem achieves 2. 1x faster delivery while maintaining 1. 4x better output quality, thanks to its integrated AI‑human workflow.

Where We Are Now — Key Challenges

Early Soft Launch. The product is live, early users are coming in, and we are in the process of validating whether the initial value proposition truly resonates. We see signs of traction, but the core value needs to be demonstrated with clear use cases and metrics before we commit to scale.

What will you do:

• Identify significant near and long‑term opportunities and define product strategies and roadmaps.
• Lead the end‑to‑end product lifecycle management, from ideation and requirements gathering to development, launch, and optimization.
• Define and analyze metrics that inform the success/failure. Monitor and analyze product performance, leveraging data analytics and user feedback to optimise current value proposition and drive continual improvement and innovation.
• Drive product development with cross‑functional team of engineering, design, analytics, and marketing teams to deliver measurable business impact.
• Design and own the end‑to‑end funnel: from marketing to onboarding, activation, first and recurring payments.

What we are looking for:

• 7+ years of Product management experience working collaboratively with engineering, design, marketing, operations.
• Experience navigating through the full product life‑cycle, integrating customer feedback into product requirements, driving prioritization, and pre‑ and post‑launch execution.
• Proven track record of building and optimizing acquisition–activation–monetization funnels, ideally in early‑stage products.
• Strong data literacy: ability to define metrics, read dashboards, and make decisions based on both quantitative and qualitative input.
• Proven record of leading a cross‑functional group (Marketing, Tech, Operations) around the user and revenue goals, not around functions.
• Excellent communication in English; ability to clearly articulate hypotheses, decisions, and trade‑offs to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience building 0-1 products, platform/ecosystem products, or marketplaces.
• Hands‑on, “roll up sleeves” mindset: comfortable manually refining processes after soft launch and iterating quickly.

What we can offer:

• You’ll have the opportunity to work on highly innovative, projects at the leading edge of AI development, and work with a genuinely dedicated and dynamic team of experts.
• You’ll also be working on projects with customers that are AI industry leaders and household names.
• You’re welcome to work remotely or in a hybrid way. You will also have some opportunity to create your work schedule with your manager.
• We’re currently seeking people who are interested to join us on a freelance full‑time basis .
