Job Requirements

The Enterprise Technology mission is to deliver technology solutions that align with business strategies, enable enterprise efficiency, and promote cross-company collaborative innovation. Our group drives competitive advantage by enhancing consumer experiences, enabling business growth, and advancing operational excellence.

We are seeking a Product Manager with experience building and launching AI-powered products. In this role, you will identify high-value business problems, define product strategy and requirements, prioritize opportunities, and partner closely with engineering, design, data, AI/ML, and business stakeholders to bring solutions from concept through production and adoption.

You should have strong product judgment, technical fluency, and hands-on experience working with AI and LLM-powered products. You understand concepts such as LLM APIs, prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agents, evaluation, data integration, and human-in-the-loop workflows well enough to make informed product decisions and effectively partner with technical teams.

You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, translating business needs into clear product direction, testing ideas quickly with users, and using data and feedback to determine what to build next.

We'd love to see something you've helped build. Please include a portfolio.

This team works in the office Monday through Thursday.

• Prioritize features and investments based on customer value, business impact, technical feasibility, risk, and effort.
• Define measurable product outcomes and KPIs and use product analytics, user feedback, and experimentation to guide product decisions.
• Shape AI-powered user experiences, including workflows, automation, agent interactions, and appropriate human-in-the-loop decision points.
• Understand and help define effective uses of LLM APIs, prompt design, RAG, agents, and AI evaluation approaches.
• Partner with technical teams to establish appropriate quality, evaluation, security, privacy, monitoring, and reliability expectations for AI products.
• Drive pilots and prototypes with real users, gathering feedback and determining whether solutions should be iterated, scaled, or discontinued.
• Develop product requirements and clearly communicate tradeoffs, decisions, dependencies, and priorities to technical teams and senior stakeholders.
• Drive product launches, adoption, change management, and continuous improvement across enterprise users and business teams.
• Build strong relationships across multiple business areas and align stakeholders around a shared product direction.

• Experience working with AI engineers, software engineers, data scientists, data engineers, UX/design teams, or forward-deployed engineering teams.
• Experience defining success metrics and evaluation frameworks for AI products, including approaches such as golden datasets, human evaluation, LLM-as-judge, trace analysis, and production monitoring.
• Experience taking products from 0-to-1, including identifying problems, validating concepts, launching MVPs, and scaling successful solutions.
• Experience working across multiple business areas such as media, parks, retail, operations, HR, or finance.
• Experience navigating enterprise-scale data, legacy systems, governance requirements, and complex stakeholder environments.
