Senior Staff Product Manager

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client in Mountain View, CA that is seeking a Senior Staff Product Manager to work 3 days onsite required. Start/End date flexible based on when we bring someone on board.

Summary:
Our charter is to empower every PM, Designer, and Researcher at the client's to pursue their craft with AI Native capabilites. We enable PMs and XDs to turn ideas into shipped products faster - building and scaling AI-native tools, workflows, and ways of working that transform the end-to-end product development lifecycle, from problem discovery through ship.

In this role, you will have end-to-end responsibility for shaping and delivering capabilities that change how the client's product community works. You'll partner across PM, Design, Research, Engineering, and Data Science to identify the highest-leverage opportunities, ship AI-native tools and agent-driven workflows, and drive measurable acceleration in how the client's invents and delivers customer experiences. The work spans a variety of areas across the product development lifecycle - discovery, definition, prototyping, validation, delivery - so adaptability and breadth matter as much as depth.

Duties:
* Lead initiatives that meaningfully accelerate how the client's PMs, Designers, and Researchers do their craft - identifying the highest-leverage problems and opportunities through user research, competitive intelligence, and signals from the broader AI ecosystem
* Develop a flexible product strategy that adapts as AI capabilities, internal needs, and the external landscape evolve
* Drive the roadmap for AI-native tooling and agent-driven workflows that compress the product development lifecycle - from problem framing and customer research through prototyping, validation, and delivery
* Understand how rapid shifts in AI and agentic technology could reshape product craft at the client's, and translate that into durable, high-leverage bets

REQUIREMENTS:
* Undergraduate degree in Finance/Economics/Business, Computer Science, entrepreneurship, data science/analytics, and/or innovation; MS in Technical Field or MBA a plus
* 6+ years of hands-on product management experience, including building 0-to-1 products and shipping products with AI at their core
* Deep knowledge of Claude and Cursor - have built or used skills which accelerate PM or XD Jobs To Be Done
* Passion for solving big customer problems through deep understanding of customer needs, market landscape, and technology trends - with particular curiosity about how AI is reshaping the practice of product management, design, and research
* Experimental mindset, adept at qualitatively and quantitatively validating concepts and assumptions through rapid and iterative testing
* Strategic thinker as well as tactical executor, continually assessing prospective experiences, capabilities, and products for desirability, feasibility, and viability
* Demonstrated ability to recognize, learn, and apply new technologies - especially AI and agentic capabilities - to solve important customer and craft problems
* Strong communication and relationship skills, including a proven ability to influence strategic decision making across senior cross-functional partners
* Demonstrated team-building skills, including the ability to motivate and guide team members beyond the direct reporting structure - engineers, data scientists, designers, and researchers - and to collaborate with a variety of functions across the company including legal, privacy, and platform teams
* Bias for action and self-starter mindset; adaptable, tenacious, perceptive, and able to execute a well-developed plan in an environment where the ground is shifting
* Comfort working across a variety of problem spaces - the role isn't tied to a single product surface, but spans the lifecycle of how PMs, Designers, and Researchers do their work
