Director of Applied AI Product
About the role
The Director of AI Product role at Acceleration Partners is a remote, work-from-home position, as are all roles at AP. This role is highly cross-functional, requiring collaboration with engineering, data, client services, agency operations, and strategy teams.
Responsibilities
Pressure-test and help shape the product thesis, bringing enough depth in AI and modern build practices to tell us what is real, what is not yet, and what we are missing.
Execute the established direction, turning it into shipped product that delivers measurable value, and take on increasing ownership of roadmap and vision as the platform matures.
Moves concepts into working software quickly, prototyping and shipping in weeks rather than quarters, building the tools and agentic workflows that do real work against real client data rather than handing specifications to others and waiting.
Bring AI fluency to every part of the product lifecycle, not just what gets built, but how you discover, prioritize, prototype, and validate.
Partner with engineering and data teams to take prototypes from early build to secure, reliable production, holding a high bar for what is ready to put in front of a client.
Define and own success in terms of client outcomes, such as retention, revenue per account, and win rates, rather than internal usage metrics.
Own the operationalization of what ships. That means clear rollout communication, documentation, and enablement materials that set client services and operations teams up for success, not just an announcement that a feature is live.
Qualifications
Demonstrated experience building products with modern AI tools, including hands-on work with AI agents and agentic frameworks.
A director-level track record in product, with real ownership of roadmap, discovery, and delivery end to end.
Experience operationalizing product rollouts: communication plans, release notes, documentation, and enablement materials that set operations and client-facing teams up for success.
Excellent communication skills, with the standing to influence executives and engineers alike.

Acceleration Partners offers 100% remote work for everyone, group medical, and other benefits.
Pay
Competitive compensation package based on experience.
