AI Product Management

About The Role: Our organization is scaling from individual AI initiatives to a durable, enterprise-grade product organization. We're looking for someone to lead the team that decides what we build, why, and in what order — and to run the program management and governance operations that keep the entire portfolio moving predictably. You'll own the AI Product Owners as direct reports, and build out the program management and governance operations capability that turns the department's intake, risk-tiering, and delivery-tracking framework from a document into a living, working process. You'll work in tight partnership with the VP / Director - NA AI Solutions Engineering, who owns the technical build. You own the roadmap, the business case, and the portfolio's operating rhythm; they own turning it into shipped technology. Where their team is the deliverer, yours is the demand, prioritization, and governance engine that keeps them pointed at the highest-value work.
