Principal Product Manager, Agentic AI Platform

About the role

We are seeking a Principal Product Manager, Agentic AI Platform to lead Drata’s Agentic AI strategy and execution. This role involves shaping strategy across multiple teams, creating operating models for AI delivery at scale, and serving as a company-level evangelist for Drata’s AI-enabled product vision.

Responsibilities

• Set and drive the Agentic AI vision
• Define a multi-year, company-level Agentic AI strategy that spans Drata product lines and major initiatives
• Translate that vision into clear portfolios, roadmaps, and investment frameworks for AI agents, copilots, and automation across GRC workflows
• Continuously scan the AI landscape and selectively bring agentic innovations into Drata
• Build & execute on the AI platform strategy at Drata that will enable other teams to build AI features
• Lead end-to-end product discovery and delivery for AI agents—from problem framing and agent design to deployment, guardrails, and post-launch optimization
• Define success metrics and evaluation frameworks for agents and drive rigorous experimentation to improve them
• Partner closely with Engineering and AI/ML leads on architecture, model selection, tool/plugin design, retrieval strategies, and constraints that keep agents safe, observable, and debuggable in production
• Leverage MCP and the agentic ecosystem to design and evolve MCP-based and related ecosystems of tools, actions, and data connectors that agents can use to take safe actions on behalf of customers
• Ensure that AI agents operate reliably in real-world enterprise environments, understanding identity, permissions, rate limits, data locality, and audit requirements
• Drive cross-pillar collaboration to embed AI agents into roadmaps and ship cohesive, end-to-end workflows instead of isolated features
• Create and run cross-functional rituals to keep AI investments aligned with company goals and customer value
• Partner with GRC experts, Sales, CS, and Solutions to capture customer needs, validate use cases, and ensure AI agents align with real audit, risk, and compliance workflows
• Champion customer-obsessed, data- and AI-first product craft by spending meaningful time with customers, prospects, and partners to deeply understand jobs-to-be-done, constraints, and trust expectations for AI in GRC
• Define patterns for agent orchestration and codify them into reusable building blocks for the broader product org
• Lead at the principal level by creating operating models, frameworks, and standards for how the product org builds and measures AI products
• Mentor and coach senior PMs working on AI-related areas; help them sharpen strategy, storytelling, and metrics while modeling resilience and ownership in high-ambiguity environments
• Represent Drata’s AI vision internally and externally with customers, partners, analysts, and the broader ecosystem, helping shape how the market thinks about AI in GRC

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience, with significant time as a senior/lead PM owning complex, multi-team product areas
• 3–5+ years building and shipping AI/ML or LLM-powered products, with at least 2+ years directly working on agentic systems, copilots, or autonomous workflows in production
• Deep understanding of the agentic ecosystem and Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar paradigms (tools/plugins, actions, function calling, retrieval, orchestrators)
• Strong technical fluency: comfortable reading API docs, reasoning about data and model tradeoffs, and partnering with engineering on architecture-level decisions
• Track record of defining multi-year product strategy in ambiguous or emerging domains and influencing exec-level decisions with clear narratives and evidence
• Experience operating in B2B SaaS; familiarity with security, compliance, or risk domains is preferred but not required
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tell a compelling story, align diverse stakeholders, and make complex AI concepts accessible
• Demonstrated customer-obsession, with a history of turning customer insights into high-impact product bets and shipping iteratively to learn

Qualifications

• Experience in GRC, Security, or TPRM, especially building products used by risk, security, or compliance teams
• Prior work on GRC copilots, automated evidence collection, control mapping, or AI-powered reporting
• Experience working with auditors, regulators, or highly regulated industries
• Nice-to-haves: Public presence in the AI or product community (talks, blogs, OSS contributions, standards work) related to agents, orchestration, or responsible AI
