Director of Applied AI Product

Role Description

The Director of AI Product role at Acceleration Partners is a remote, work-from-home position, as are all roles at AP, a structure central to our culture and our vision for a better balance of work and life. Some travel may be required for internal meetings, conferences, and events.

We are looking for a Director of AI Product to own how we build. This is not a role that manages AI features from a distance. You will be in the tools every day, prototyping, building agentic workflows, and shipping against real client data in weeks rather than quarters. You will own the technical approach and the build from day one, and the product roadmap and vision increasingly as the platform matures.

This is a highly cross-functional role. You will work closely with engineering, data, client services, agency operations, and strategy teams to translate the needs of our clients and our teams into product that delivers measurable value.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience building products with modern AI tools, including hands-on work with AI agents and agentic frameworks.
• A director-level track record in product, with real ownership of roadmap, discovery, and delivery end to end.
• Working fluency with data (SQL and modern data warehouses) and contemporary web technologies.
• A history of owning measurable business outcomes.
• Demonstrated experience operationalizing product rollouts.
• Excellent communication skills, with the standing to influence executives and engineers alike.

Requirements

• Pressure-test and help shape the product thesis.
• Execute the established direction, turning it into shipped product that delivers measurable value.
• Move concepts into working software quickly.
• Maintain a deep understanding of the user landscape across client teams and internal users.
• Serve as a genuine technical peer to engineering and data.
• Define and own success in terms of client outcomes.
• Design and drive adoption so the platform integrates naturally into workflows.
• Own the operationalization of what ships, including clear rollout communication.

Benefits

• 100% remote work for everyone.
• Group medical, dental, and vision coverage insurance (with opt-out benefits).
• 401K with matching.
• Open Paid Time Off.
• Summer and Holiday company-wide shutdown days in July and December.
• Volunteer and Birthday Time Off.
• Focus Fridays.
• Paid Parental Leave Benefits.
• Wellness, Technology, and Education Allowances.
• Paid sabbatical leaves, donation matching, and more.
