Summary

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product for a workstream inside one of our enterprise AI engagements — across forecasting, optimization, knowledge engineering, or user-facing interfaces. You will own the backlog, sprint cadence, and the adoption outcomes for that workstream, partnering with a Principal Product Manager or engagement lead on the broader program.

You will work directly with client stakeholders and a delivery team of 5+ engineers and designers, making trade-offs daily about scope, sequencing, and what's worth shipping in the next sprint. If you've shipped AI products that actually move metrics — this is the role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own product strategy for your workstream inside a multi-quarter enterprise AI engagement — from discovery through steady-state.
  • Own adoption success criteria for your workstream — the structured measures that determine whether the system is actually being used, not just shipped. You instrument them and report on them to the engagement lead.
  • Run discovery — operator interviews, SME workshops, behavior-pattern analysis. Convert tribal knowledge into shippable requirements.
  • Contribute to structured-feedback taxonomies with users and SMEs — the vocabulary that turns every user override into a model-retuning signal.
  • Manage the backlog for your workstream — within forecasting, optimization, knowledge engineering, or user-facing UIs. Sequence ruthlessly.
  • Day-to-day contact for your workstream — regular working relationship with business leads, SMEs, and operators.
  • Partner with the client's product counterpart on your workstream — build trust, share context, support ownership transfer.
  • Run sprint cadence — two-week sprints, sprint reviews, and reporting into the engagement's steering cadence.
  • Trade off ruthlessly — cut scope that doesn't move the metric. Defer complexity until the data rewards it. Right-size investment.
  • Flag Phase 2 opportunities to the engagement lead — additional scope, new use cases within your workstream. The engagement doesn't end; it converts.
  • Operate with consulting rigor — build credibility fast with new stakeholders, adapt your working style to each client's culture and tools, and turn ambiguity into a structured recommendation you can defend in the room.
  • You'll execute with clarity and pace — the engineers and designers on your workstream take cadence from you.

Note: US-based. Some travel to client sites and our office locations may be required by engagement.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
You will be expected to execute hands-on technical work from day one. The requirements below reflect the actual skills needed to deliver outcomes for enterprise clients.

● Enterprise Product Management — 5+ years shipping products inside mid-size to Fortune 500 enterprises
● AI / ML Product — 2+ years working on AI products in production — recommendation systems, forecasting, optimization, NLP
