SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Clear alignment is established across all departments around Hub and Momentum priorities within the first six months, reducing reactive work and improving decision velocity across the organization.
• Measurable internal adoption of Hub and Momentum is driven by delivering product improvements that materially improve execution, visibility, and workflow efficiency for internal teams.
• Time from idea to validated product direction is reduced by leveraging AI tools for synthesis, prototyping, requirement refinement, and faster iteration cycles.
• This individual becomes the resident expert and evangelist for AI enabled product management workflows that significantly increase product development velocity, clarity, and output quality.

OBJECTIVES

• Define and own the short term feature roadmap (3 to 6 months) for Hub and Momentum, ensuring alignment with company strategy, departmental business needs, and the highest value opportunities across the organization.
• Ruthlessly identify and implement opportunities to integrate LLMs and AI native workflows into the product function itself, driving efficiency in research, prioritization, documentation, prototyping, and iteration.
• Independently generate product artifacts including user stories, acceptance criteria, workflows, lightweight prototypes, and decision ready product requirements that reduce ambiguity for engineering and stakeholders.
• Manage the product backlog with a focus on speed, adoption, and business value, balancing technical constraints, stakeholder feedback, internal operational needs, and high impact innovation.
• Serve as the key bridge between the engineering team and internal stakeholders across multiple departments, ensuring technical implementation meets business requirements while driving alignment in a highly functional environment.
• Define and track key product metrics including adoption, usage, workflow efficiency, feature impact, and ROI post launch, using data to inform the next iteration cycle.

COMPETENCIES

• Strong conceptual understanding of business operations and key performance drivers, including how internal systems support execution, alignment, accountability, and adoption across departments.
• Demonstrated proficiency in LLM prompt engineering, API usage across platforms such as OpenAI and Anthropic, and a practical understanding of how to integrate AI tools into a modern software stack and product operating model.
• Exceptional ability to synthesize ambiguous business needs into clear, actionable, and visually representable product specifications, workflows, and requirements.
• Strong technical fluency without requiring a software engineering background, including the ability to understand APIs, request flows, data structures, system behavior, and implementation tradeoffs well enough to reduce ambiguity before work reaches engineering.
• High velocity execution and mastery of Agile methodologies including Scrum and Kanban, with a proven ability to drive products from concept to launch within tight deadlines while managing stakeholder complexity and maintaining a strong bias toward demos, prototypes, and outcomes over process.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical and product decisions into clear, concise language for both executive leadership and frontline teams.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and a fast paced, high growth environment where priorities evolve quickly and results are expected with urgency.
• Strong bias toward ownership: this individual does not wait to be told what to do and proactively identifies gaps, proposes solutions, and drives decisions forward.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

• 5 or more years of product management experience with at least 2 years in a senior or principal level role owning a product end to end.
• Demonstrated experience building or managing internal software products, platforms, or tooling in a high growth environment.
• Hands on experience with LLMs, AI APIs, and prompt engineering in a product or business context is required.
• Experience working directly with engineering teams in an Agile environment with strong command of backlog management, sprint planning, and release cycles.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred.
• Equivalent demonstrated experience will be considered.
