Product Manager - HR Technology

Product Manager – Workforce AI (HR Technology) | Hyderabad Location: Hyderabad, India (Hybrid) Team: AI Product Management Reports to: Senior Director, Strategic Programs (AI Product Management) About the Role Cornerstone's Workforce AI platform is redefining how the world's largest organizations understand their people — building a skills-first intelligence layer that connects workforce data, market signal, and a growing set of AI-powered and agentic experiences. We're hiring a Product Manager in Hyderabad to drive execution across the Workforce Intelligence platform, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams. This role sits close to the build: you'll own delivery of platform capabilities from spec through release, ensure quality across the release pipeline, and serve as the connective tissue between global product strategy and day-to-day engineering execution. This is a role for a PM who loves shipping — someone who is technical enough to earn engineering's trust, rigorous enough to own release quality, and customer-minded enough to keep every sprint tied to real enterprise outcomes. In This Role You Will Own delivery of platform capabilities end-to-end: requirements, specs, sprint planning, release readiness, and post-release quality. Partner daily with engineering teams to translate product strategy into well-scoped, buildable increments. Drive the release process for your workstreams — release notes, gating criteria, risk identification, and cross-team dependency management. Own API and headless access capabilities, including agent tooling and developer-facing experiences that let customers and partners build on the platform. Write clear, structured product artifacts: PRDs, technical specs, acceptance criteria, and test scenarios. Support enterprise customer deliveries by triaging escalations, validating fixes, and closing the loop between customer-reported gaps and the roadmap. Contribute to platform quality and compliance practices, including documentation supporting SOC 2 and responsible AI requirements. Use AI-assisted workflows as a core part of how you work — we build with AI, not just for it. You Have Got What It Takes If You Have 5+ years of product management experience, ideally with enterprise SaaS or platform products — able to resolve a wide range of issues of diverse scope with good judgment in selecting methods and approaches. Strong technical fluency — you can read an API contract, discuss data models with engineers, and translate system architecture tradeoffs to drive intended business outcomes. Proven track record of shipping: you've owned releases, managed dependencies, and driven quality across a delivery pipeline. Experience with enterprise platform products; familiarity with AI-powered or LLM-based features is a strong plus. Crisp written communication — specs and status updates that engineers, executives, and customers can all act on. Comfort operating across time zones with globally distributed product and engineering leadership. Ownership mindset: you find gaps before they become escalations and close them without being asked. Nice to Have Experience with HR tech, talent intelligence, skills platforms, or people analytics. Familiarity with developer platforms: APIs, SDKs, webhooks, or agent/tool protocols. Exposure to compliance-driven product work (SOC 2, data privacy, EU AI Act). Hands-on experience prototyping with AI coding tools. Why This Role You'll join a small, senior team building the AI backbone of a market-leading platform, with exposure to global product leadership and enterprise customers — and you'll help define how AI-native product teams operate.
