About the role

We're building AI agents that don't just assist — they act. Autonomously. At scale. Across the most consequential moments in our product. This role owns the strategy, quality, and business impact of that system — and defines how the entire company builds with AI going forward.

Responsibilities

  • Own the roadmap. Not a feature backlog — a sequenced, opinionated strategy tied directly to business outcomes.

  • Decide what we build, what we buy, and when we switch vendors as the landscape shifts.

  • Identify product, technical, and regulatory constraints 6–12 months out and architect around them before they become blockers.

  • Partner with Legal and Compliance to build patterns that keep us compliant without slowing us down.

  • Prioritize the campaigns and workflows that maximize operational efficiency while driving incremental revenue.

  • Partner with GTM to expand adoption across segments and turn agent performance into top-line growth.

  • Create the playbooks, evaluation frameworks, prompt engineering standards, vendor assessment criteria that let other PMs ship AI features without you in the room.

  • Build organizational AI fluency across Operations, GTM, Legal, and leadership so the company makes better decisions about where AI fits.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of product management experience, with some demonstrable expertise building AI/LLM-powered products — conversational AI, AI agents, or similar.

  • Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, LLM evaluation frameworks, and conversation design (not just managing engineers who do this work).

  • Track record of strategic build-vs-buy decisions for AI infrastructure.

  • Experience shipping in ambiguous, rapidly evolving technical domains.

  • Strong technical fluency — comfortable discussing system architecture, API design, and latency/cost trade-offs with engineers.

  • Analytical Rigor: Defines what "good" looks like for AI systems through quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Structures experiments that accelerate learning.

  • Truth-Seeking: Pressure-tests assumptions, including your own. Seeks disconfirming evidence before committing. Delivers uncomfortable truths with clarity.

  • Collaboration & Influence: Drives alignment across Product, Engineering, Legal, Operations, GTM, and clients. Translates complex AI concepts for diverse audiences.

  • Ownership & Velocity: Takes on ambiguous problems before being asked. Moves fast with incomplete information. Ships and iterates rather than perfecting.

Preferred Experience

  • Building conversational AI at scale at a high-growth company.

  • Familiarity with AI agent platforms and their trade-offs.

  • Experience coaching other PMs on AI best practices.

What We're Looking For

AI Strategy: Defines compelling product vision and translates it into sequenced, high-conviction bets. Makes principled trade-offs that others adopt as decision frameworks.

AI/LLM Product Craft: Deep product intuition for building with LLMs, conversation design, prompt engineering, evaluation. Stays ahead of the landscape and translates shifts into product decisions before the market catches up.

Technical Depth: Partners with engineering on infrastructure and architecture trade-offs. Reasons about latency, cost, API design, and observability at the level engineers respect.

Analytical Rigor: Defines what "good" looks like for AI systems through quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Structures experiments that accelerate learning.

Truth-Seeking: Pressure-tests assumptions, including your own. Seeks disconfirming evidence before committing. Delivers uncomfortable truths with clarity.
