Lead Product Manager - AI Developer Platform

Scribd, Inc. · Washington, United States · 3 wk ago

$171k/yrFull-time

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.

From that foundation, you'll extend the same thinking outward — partnering with Product, Design & Research, Data & Analytics, and TPM as they redesign their own work around AI agents, and guiding the internal app and agent platforms that every function depends on.

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.
Translate between functions and the platform.
Drive cross-functional commitments to closure.
Make agentic enablement legible to the company.
Partner on go-to-market for internal users.

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
Hands-on experience shipping real products with modern AI/LLM primitives — prompting, evals, tool use, agentic workflows, MCP, plugin or skill ecosystems, or comparable concepts.
Strong technical fluency to match.
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.

Qualifications

You are energized by hard, ambiguous, cross-functional problems where the technology landscape is moving faster than ever, adoption is uneven across functions, and the platform is actively evolving as it ships.

You have spent enough time close to engineering to reason about platforms, APIs, and agent systems on their own terms — and enough time across functions to know that adoption is a people problem at least as much as a technical one.

Skills

Technical fluency to match engineers on system design, API tradeoffs, evaluation methodology, and agent architectures
Ability to 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
