Lead Product Manager - AI Developer Platform

About the role

This is a foundational hire — Scribd's first product management role pointed inward, with the company itself as the customer. You'll lead Scribd's AI transformation, with the developer platform as the center of gravity: helping define the agentic engineering stack and shaping the evolution of the developer & agentic experience at Scribd.

Responsibilities

• Own the unified agentic enablement roadmap. Pull together the in-flight AI workstreams across Scribd into a cohesive, sequenced roadmap. Decide what is shared infrastructure and what stays function-specific. Make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
• Be the product owner for the internal app and agent platforms. Define and drive the product strategy for the platforms the company depends on — the internal app platform, the plugin marketplace, the agent runtime — and make sure they meet each function's real needs.
• Sit with different functions and their leaders to understand the workflows they are trying to redesign. Turn that into requirements we can build against, and turn the platform's capabilities into something every function can act on.
• Drive cross-functional commitments to closure. Our AI Enablement strategy includes several load-bearing pieces of shared infrastructure — canonical context, the evaluation practice, the plugin marketplace, the internal app platform, and a coherent context ownership map. Each has named owners across functions. Your job is to keep them moving in lockstep and surface the seams before they fragment.
• Make agentic enablement legible to the company. Define the metrics that matter — adoption, throughput, time recovered, evaluation quality, impact — and report against them. Build the narrative that gets every function bought in.
• Partner on go-to-market for internal users. Plan and run the rollouts, education, and feedback loops that drive measurable adoption — capabilities aren't done when they ship, they're done when each function depends on them. Treat internal rollouts with the same rigor we would treat an external launch.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product management experience, with notable focus owning developer tooling, AI platforms, or internal productivity tools.
• Demonstrated success owning ambiguous, cross-functional product surfaces end-to-end — defining the strategy, sequencing the work, and shipping with engineering partners — without a pre-existing playbook.
• Strong technical fluency to match. You can hold your own with engineers on system design, API tradeoffs, evaluation methodology, and agent architectures.
• A track record of being a trusted technical-strategy partner to engineering leadership, with influence at the architecture and roadmap horizon.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can move between an engineering deep-dive, a function lead's strategy review, and an exec narrative in the same week.
• Comfort and ability to move things forward when working in conditions where priorities, scope, and ownership are still being defined.

Qualifications

• Experience as a PM, technical lead, or founder building internal-facing developer tools, AI platforms, or productivity products at scale.
• Direct experience with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or other agentic coding environments — as a power user, an enabler, or a builder.
• Familiarity with the operating realities of a multi-product subscription business and a software stack that spans Ruby, Go, TypeScript, Python, and the AWS/Databricks ecosystem.

Skills

• Strong understanding of AI/LLM primitives such as prompting, evals, tool use, agentic workflows, MCP, plugin or skill ecosystems, or comparable concepts.
• Experience shipping real products with modern AI/LLM primitives.
• Ability to hold your own with engineers on system design, API tradeoffs, evaluation methodology, and agent architectures.
• Experience in defining and driving product strategies for complex, cross-functional teams.
• Strong ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits

• Scribd Flex (flexible work model)
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Mental health support and disability coverage
• Generous paid time off, including vacation, sick time, holidays, winter break, volunteer time, and sabbaticals
• Paid parental leave and family support benefits
• Roth and Rothmax retirement matching and employee equity
• Comprehensive and generous benefits package
