Director Product-AI Contact Center

About the Role

We are looking for an exceptional product leader to build and scale our next-generation AI-powered Contact Center and Customer Operations platform.

This leader will own the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution for transforming traditional contact centers into AI-native, increasingly autonomous operations. The platform will combine conversational AI, voice, intelligent routing, agent assist, AI agents, workflow automation, knowledge, analytics, and enterprise systems into a unified experience that dramatically improves customer experience while reducing cost and creating capacity.

This is a high-impact leadership role for a product executive who can operate at the intersection of AI, enterprise software, customer experience, and business transformation. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable defining a multi-year product vision with executives, working deeply with engineering and AI teams, and sitting with customers to understand complex operational problems.

A Day in the Life

• Define and drive the product vision and strategy for an AI-native contact center platform.
• Build a differentiated product roadmap spanning:
• AI voice and conversational experiences
• Virtual agents and autonomous AI agents
• Agent assist and human-AI collaboration
• Intelligent routing and orchestration
• Knowledge and enterprise context
• Workflow automation
• Quality management and interaction intelligence
• Workforce optimization
• Contact center analytics and business intelligence
• Customer journey orchestration
• Establish a clear path from human-assisted → AI-assisted → AI-led → autonomous customer operations.
• Develop the platform architecture and product strategy required to unify voice, digital channels, data, AI, workflows, and enterprise applications.
• Partner closely with engineering, AI/ML, design, GTM, sales, marketing, and customer success to translate strategy into market-leading products.
• Work directly with strategic customers and executives to identify high-value use cases and convert them into scalable products.
• Define product-led growth and commercialization strategies, including packaging, pricing, consumption models, and ROI measurement.
• Build the product organization, operating model, talent strategy, and culture required to scale the business.
• Establish measurable product outcomes including automation rate, containment, resolution rate, cost per interaction, customer satisfaction, revenue impact, and time created for employees.
• Serve as a senior product evangelist with customers, partners, analysts, and the broader AI ecosystem.

The Opportunity

• The contact center is undergoing a fundamental transformation.
• Traditional contact centers were built around humans using software.
• The next generation will be built around AI agents using enterprise context, tools, workflows, and humans when needed.
• Our ambition is to build the platform that enables enterprises to make this transition — moving beyond point solutions and chatbots toward end-to-end autonomous customer operations.
• The successful leader will define what this category looks like and build the product that becomes its foundation.
• This is an onsite role based in San Francisco, CA, requiring five days a week in the office.

Leadership Characteristics

We are looking for a builder, not simply a roadmap manager.

You are:

• Customer obsessed — you spend time with customers and understand their operational reality.

• Commercially minded — you think in terms of revenue, margins, adoption, and ROI.
• Platform oriented — you see the underlying infrastructure and reusable capabilities behind individual use cases.
• Outcome driven — you measure success by business impact, not feature velocity.
• High velocity — you can move from insight to prototype to production quickly.
• Strategic and hands‑on — comfortable setting a three-year vision while diving into today's product decisions.
• Exceptional communicator — able to influence engineers, customers, executives, investors, and partners.

We offer competitive benefits to set you up for success in and outside of work.
