Product Management Lead – Trust Platform
for headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to extract content from posting.
Let's parse.
Posting includes:
- Leading at Cognizant intro: description of leadership values. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually there is a section "About The Role". So we should include that.
- "About The Role" paragraph: "Cognizant is hiring a senior product leader to own the Trust Platform end to end. This platform sits at the center of how Cognizant and its clients establish trust in AI and digital systems, spanning trust and safety, identity and fraud risk, and compliance and data governance. The role reports directly to the Chief Responsible AI Officer and carries full accountability for platform strategy, roadmap, and outcomes. This is a lead role. The person in this seat sets direction for the platform, represents it to executive stakeholders and clients, and may manage an engineering team depending on how the org is structured at the time of hire. Cognizant is looking for someone who has done this before, at scale, in a regulated or high-stakes environment."
That's about the role.
- "In This Role, You Will" list: bullet points (actually sentences). We need to turn into
- .
List items:
1. Overall product strategy and roadmap for the Trust Platform, covering trust and safety, identity/fraud risk, and compliance and data governance capabilities.
2. Translation of Responsible AI principles into concrete platform requirements, working directly with the Chief Responsible AI Officer and legal, security, and compliance leadership.
3. Prioritization and trade-off decisions across a broad and sometimes competing set of stakeholder needs, including engineering, legal, security, sales, and client delivery teams.
4. Platform architecture decisions in partnership with engineering leadership, including build versus buy calls on trust, safety, and risk tooling.
5. A team of product managers and, depending on structure, an engineering team, with direct hiring and performance management responsibility.
6. Executive-level reporting on platform health, risk posture, and adoption, including direct presentations to senior leadership and, where relevant, clients and regulators.
7. Vendor and partner evaluation for trust, identity, fraud, and compliance technology.
8. Consistently demonstrate the Cognizant Way to Lead, which means operating with Personal Leadership (building trust, collaboration, and inclusion), Organizational Leadership (driving vision and purpose, demonstrating a strategic and enterprise mindset, and creating and communicating a bold direction that inspires purpose), and Business Leadership (exemplifying client focus, managing ambiguity with accountability and results, and operating with financial acumen)
That's responsibilities.
- "What You Need To Have To Be Considered" list: bullet points.
List items:
1. 15+ years in product management, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role owning a platform or major product line.
2. Direct experience building or scaling products in trust and safety, identity/fraud, risk, or compliance and data governance.
3. Experience across more than one of these areas is strongly preferred given the scope of this platform.
4. A track record of operating in regulated or high-scrutiny environments, where decisions need to hold up to legal, security, and audit review.
5. Demonstrated success taking products from concept through launch and into GA, including at least one 0-to-1 launch owned end to end and one experience scaling an existing product post-launch.
6. Comfort working directly with C-suite stakeholders and translating ambiguous, high-level mandates (such as Responsible AI principles) into a concrete, buildable roadmap.
7. Experience managing people, whether product managers, engineers, or both, and a demonstrated ability to build and retain strong teams.
8. Strong technical fluency. This role does not require writing code, but it requires enough depth to have credible, detailed conversations with engineering on architecture and trade-offs.
9. Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to adjust the message for an engineering room versus an executive room versus a client meeting.
10. Embodiment of the Cognizant Way to Lead: Leading Self, Leading Others, & Leading the Business
11. The embodiment of Cognizant’s Values of: Work as One, Dare to Innovate, Raise the Bar, Do The right Thing, & Own It
12. Prior experience at a large IT services, consulting, or enterprise software company where trust and compliance requirements vary by client and by geography.
13. Familiarity with AI governance frameworks and emerging AI regulation (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, or equivalent).
14. Experience partnering with a Chief Trust Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Responsible AI Officer, or equivalent function.
We could split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which content goes where.
Typically:
- About the role: description of role (the "About The Role" paragraph).
- Responsibilities: "In This Role, You Will" list.
- Requirements: maybe the "What You Need To Have To Be Considered" list? But we also have Qualifications and Skills. Could split: Requirements = mandatory experience (years, etc). Qualifications = education? Not present. Skills = technical fluency, communication, leadership embodiment.
We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can create sections that match content.
We have content for:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (maybe years, experience, etc)
- Skills (technical fluency, communication, leadership embodiment)
- Benefits (listed)
- Pay (salary range)
- Schedule (work model: onsite in San Francisco)
We also have "Work model" describing onsite requirement. That's schedule.
We also have "Applications will be accepted until October 25, 2026" - that's application instruction, we should remove per rule: remove application instructions. So drop that line.
Also "Disclaimer" about salary etc - we can keep as part of Pay section maybe but it's boilerplate; but it's about salary info accuracy. Might be considered boilerplate but it's directly related to Pay. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The disclaimer is legal but about salary info; might be considered boilerplate but it's directly tied to Pay. Safer to keep? The rule says remove legal boilerplate. The disclaimer is legal. I'd remove it to be safe, but we need to preserve substantive information. The substantive info is salary range and benefits etc. The disclaimer is not substantive. So we can drop it.
Also "We're excited to meet people..." is encouragement, maybe not needed. Could be considered boilerplate. Remove.
Now let's craft sections.
About the role: use the paragraph(s) from "About The Role". Could also include the introductory leadership paragraph? That is more about company values; but could be part of About the role? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings (e.g. About the role). The intro "Leading at Cognizant This is a Leadership role at Cognizant..." is generic leadership description; could be considered part of About the role. But we already have a specific About The Role paragraph. We could combine both into About the role section. However we must not repeat job title as heading. It's fine.
Let's include both: first paragraph about leadership values, then the specific role description. That seems substantive.
Responsibilities: list from "In This Role, You Will".
Requirements: maybe the years of experience, direct experience, etc. Could be first few bullet points: 15+ years, direct experience, experience across more than one area, track record in regulated environments, demonstrated success taking products from concept to launch, comfort with C-suite, experience managing people. That seems like requirements.
Qualifications: maybe prior experience at large IT services, familiarity with AI governance frameworks, experience partnering with chief officers. Those could be qualifications.
Skills: strong technical fluency, excellent written/verbal communication, embodiment of Cognizant Way to Lead, embodiment of Cognizant’s Values.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But we have distinct content.
Let's decide:
- About the role: combine intro leadership paragraph + About The Role paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the In This Role list.
- Requirements: the first 6 bullet points (15+ years, direct experience, experience across more than one area, regulated environment, 0-to-1 launch, C-suite comfort, people management). Actually that's 7.
- Qualifications: prior experience at large IT services/consulting/enterprise software, familiarity with AI governance frameworks, experience partnering with chief trust/risk/responsible AI officer.
- Skills: strong technical fluency, excellent written/verbal communication, embodiment of Cognizant Way to Lead, embodiment of Cognizant’s Values.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: work model (onsite in San Francisco).
We must not include sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Now format.
Use
for each heading.
Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
For About the role: we have two paragraphs; we can put them in
elements.
Responsibilities: list.
Requirements: list.
Qualifications: list.
Skills: list (maybe each as
- ).
Benefits: list.
Pay: maybe
with salary range.
Schedule:
with work model.
Let's extract exact text.
Intro leadership paragraph: "Leading at Cognizant This is a Leadership role at Cognizant. We believe how you lead is as important as what you deliver. Cognizant leaders at every level: Drive our business strategy and inspire teams around our future. Live the leadership behaviors, leading themselves, others and the business. Uphold our Values, role modeling them in every action and decision. Nurture our people and culture, creating a workplace where all can thrive. At Cognizant, leadership transcends titles and is embodied in actions and behaviors. We empower our leaders at every level to drive business strategy, inspire teams, uphold our values, and foster an inclusive culture."
We can keep as is.
About The Role paragraph: "Cognizant is hiring a senior product leader to own the Trust Platform end to end. This platform sits at the center of how Cognizant and its clients establish trust in AI and digital systems, spanning trust and safety, identity and fraud risk, and compliance and data governance. The role reports directly to the Chief Responsible AI Officer and carries full accountability for platform strategy, roadmap, and outcomes. This is a lead role.
