Let's fix hospitality, for good. Hospitality is tough - margins are thin, waste is high, and teams are stretched. But it doesn't have to be this hard. That's why we built Nory. Our CEO, Conor, knows the pain first hand. After founding and scaling Mad Egg in Ireland, he got fed up with juggling "market leading" systems, clunky spreadsheets, and endless printouts. So he set out to build the tool he wished he'd had from day one. Nory is an all knowing restaurant management system. It blends real time data with AI predictive analytics, giving operators control of their margins. From food prep to forecasting, it's operational intelligence that helps restaurants run with consistency, certainty, and profit. The result? Thriving restaurants, better jobs, less waste, healthier margins. And we're just getting started. Fresh off a Series B led by Kinnevik, we've grown to 70+ people across Ireland, the UK, and Spain - and demand is scaling faster than we ever imagined. We're now looking for a Senior AI Product Manager to join the Insights squad. In this role, you will be the primary driver of realising our Product vision of building an intelligent system that guides restaurants to be more profitable. What you'll be doing: Lead the team that acts as the "orchestra director" for intelligence across the product: aligning data, behaviour, and UX into one coherent system that gives visibility to our customers into their P&L in real time. Build core AI assistants that help drive profitability for our customers and the industry as a whole. Make it easy for other teams to build their own assistants by setting the right primitives and guardrails (think observability, memory, evals, frontend patterns, etc.). Work closely with the Head of Product and your engineering / design counterparts. Expect fast prototyping, rapid iteration, and ruthless focus on shipping useful, impactful AI assistants to production. What you'll bring: We're not looking for a 'standard' PM here. Of course, you need to have all the basics of good 'servant leadership' PM ing - from strong analytical skills to knowing how to rally a team behind a goal. Signs that you are the right person for the role: Entrepreneurial: You're a "barrel," not ammunition. You can aim yourself, spot the right problems, figure out exceptional strategies to win and move without being told what to build. You might have started a business in the past (digital or not) and you know that speed of execution + speed of iteration matters more than getting it 100% right on the first go. Technical enough: You won't thrive in this role without being fairly technical. You should understand code and be able to build small products / prototypes. Ideally, you should be comfortable with model reasoning and debugging weird AI behaviour. You should be actively building with AI, whether it's prototypes with v0 or demo features with Claude Code. Strong product instincts. You should be right often about what to build to solve a customer problem, even without data or existing benchmarks. We have a lot of product breadth, so we don't have the luxury of infinite iteration. You should be able to reason from first principles, empathise for customer needs and build the right products from the get go. Strong opinions, backed with data: We are a small, tight knit, high leverage Product Management team so we're not afraid to argue and disagree with each other. We do that with (a) low ego, (b) showing the data / the analysis and (c) a mindset of listening to understand, not listening to respond. (Bonus) Experience shipping AI end to end: Experience shipping AI features end to end and not having to explain what evals are to you is a big plus, but ultimately it's a bonus: we value your learning mindset > pedigree. If you're an exceptional builder and you're excited by what we're building, we'd love to hear from you. What you'll get in return: Competitive salary range depending on experience Meaningful equity, at Nory everyone is an owner! 35 days of paid leave per year (including bank holidays) Comprehensive private health insurance via Irish Life (Ireland) and Axa (UK) Enhanced parental leave and baby loss support Learning & development culture - €1000 personal annual budget + quarterly book budget ️ €250 home office workspace budget Regular team offsites & socials Work from anywhere for up to 3 months of the year Offices in either London , Dublin or Spain And much more How we work Our vision is to build a better future for the restaurant industry. One where operators are in control, margins are stronger, and frontline teams can build careers they're proud of. To get there, we move fast, stay focused, and hold ourselves to a high bar. Our values guide how we work, grow, and win - together. These are the values we live by: We serve up impact with a side of profit: We prioritise work that delivers real financial results for our restaurant partners. We prioritise speed of service: We move fast, unblock quickly, and deliver with urgency. We act like owners: We own problems, raise the bar, and build better every day. We win as a crew: We grow stronger through feedback, collaboration, and shared wins. We hire humans. At Nory, we believe that diverse teams build better products. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. We do not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, family status, age, disability, or race. What matters to us is how you think, how you work, and what you bring to the table. Please let us know if you require any adjustments so you can bring your best self to the interview process.
