Key Responsibilities
- Define and execute product strategy, roadmap, and delivery for GenAI capabilities serving enterprise teams.
- Make product decisions tightly coupled to technical architecture, engaging on system design, protocol choices, security models, and infrastructure trade-offs.
- Partner across engineering, security, data science, and business teams to gather needs, map user journeys, and translate them into product requirements and prioritized backlogs.
- Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Replit) and validate ideas hands-on.
- Drive adoption across multiple internal teams through influence, operational guidance, and change management.
- Track competitive landscape and conduct technical teardowns of competitor offerings to inform product direction.
- Define and measure success using KPIs and metrics frameworks for rapidly evolving products.
- Communicate product vision and progress to stakeholders ranging from engineers to senior executives.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of product management experience.
- Advanced technical degree (e.g., MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science) or equivalent experience.
- Experience with agentic AI systems, agent frameworks, orchestration engines, or multi-agent architectures.
- Familiarity with emerging AI infrastructure protocols and standards for tool integration and agent interoperability.
- Experience building products with governance, compliance, audit trails, and access control as core features.
