Job Description

Who we are at Osmo:

Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory. Vision and hearing have been digitized, but not scent. It's time we solve this. We're bringing an unprecedented combination of software, data, hardware and capital to the historic challenge of giving computers a sense of smell.

We believe in the power of automation and carefully applied AI/ML to solve problems that are beyond what the unaided human mind can tackle on its own. In the first phase of our development, we are using our map of odor along with cutting-edge generative AI to create the next generation of aroma molecules (e.g., the ingredients in the fragrances we wear and the products we use). We're a hybrid company with a laboratory and center-of-mass in Cambridge, MA.

Your Role

Osmo is looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our rapidly growing team. Digitizing smell won't happen overnight. We are relentlessly focused on understanding customer problems and where we can create value on our path to achieving our mission. This role will own the strategy and execution of core product within our AI platform. You will work closely with Engineering, ML, and Osmo's Leadership Team, reporting to the Chief Product Officer.
