Yes, it is not really a manager role and is a step down. I don't recommend it.
Flip side of this is if they’re hiring a manager that they then want to take over the process of hiring a team. Can be tough for a manager to manage people that they didn’t have a say in choosing so sometimes they’ll hire the manager to then build out the team. If you’re actually looking to manage people, probably more important to just ask whoever is hiring what the envision for a team and if you’ll be hiring more people
This is true from my husband’s experience. Essentially, you’re a product manager not a people manager. It was fine from his perspective. Just make sure the company actually needs the role and has things they need you to do. Sometimes with startups, the roles can be undefined and even your leads might be so new in the role, it can feel like there’s no sense of direction.
