AI/HR System Technical Project Manager

AI/ML Product ManagerYou'll shape the next generation of employee experience by building transformative, intelligent solutions grounded in AI/ML. You'll translate evolving HR service and employee needs into scalable products, stitch together existing tools and data flows, and launch scrappy, high-impact prototypes. You'll be expected to build and validate real prototypes—independently or with light engineering support—that demonstrate how AI can solve for real Employee Experience (EX) pain points. You must be able to think like an engineer, design like a product strategist, and communicate like a service designer. You'll help architect a more seamless internal operating system—one that empowers employees and managers, improves clarity, and brings AI from concept to reality inside our core workflows. This is a builder role, where you will work closely with partners across EX, BizTech, and the business—gathering requirements from stakeholders, breaking down complex EX problems into simple buildable steps, and crafting solutions that can be tested and refined quickly. You'll bring depth in AI and HR technology and the ability to zoom between system architecture, rapid experimentation, and narrative storytelling.A typical day:Translate employee and manager workflows into tangible HR product opportunitiesIndependently build and test working prototypes (e.g. agent-based flows, lightweight apps, embedded LLM tools)Outline requirements for systems integrations between HR tools like Workday, Greenhouse, Qualtrics, RightAnswers, Airtable, Asana, etc.Lead stakeholder discovery sessions to identify HR/automation opportunitiesEvaluate third-party AI tools for HR vs. build pathways for core functionalityDesign quick pilots across decision support, communications, knowledge management, or resource planningDefine success metrics, track impact, and build product feedback loopsTurn complex AI solutions into simple narratives that make sense to internal business stakeholdersCollaborate with BizTech, Legal, and InfoSec to ensure prototypes align with Airbnb's privacy, security, and ethics guardrailsContinuously help evolve our EX AI strategy as new insights, tech, and organizational needs emergeSkills:8+ years in product management, with hands-on experience building or engineering AI/ML-powered tools or platformsProven ability to scope, build, and deliver rapid prototypes using LLMs, automation systems, or web-based toolingStrong fluency in HR systems or organizational strategy (e.g., performance, recruiting, planning, or people analytics)Track record of translating complex, cross-functional needs into tested and shipped productsUtilize data to inform decisions ranging from design to measuring impactScrappy and technically fluent—comfortable writing basic scripts, chaining prompts, or standing up low-code tools to test ideasHands-on with tools like LangChain, LLMs, or vector databases—or excited to learn them fastFamiliar with tech stacks across knowledge management, portfolio planning, HR/People toolsExperienced in serving internal audiences (e.g., EX, BizTech), not just external clients or end customersCollaborative, systems-oriented, and skilled at connecting dots across people, processes, and platformsAdept in visual storytelling, from Miro/Figma to slideware, and effective stakeholder comms
