• Lead rapid prototyping of AI solutions, including GenAI applications, AI agents, conversational AI, and intelligent automation, to demonstrate feasibility and business value.
• Work with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and data scientists to define product vision, develop roadmaps, and drive progress against goals and milestones, while improving team health and up-leveling team effectiveness.
• Gather and analyze user research, business process data, and market analysis to inform product decisions and influence the wider product organization.
• Lead the development of evaluation frameworks to test, benchmark, and compare AI models and platforms against enterprise success requirements.
• Actively identify opportunities and resolve dependencies by creating shared strategies across teams in adjacent product areas.
• Develop reusable product frameworks, playbooks, and best practices that accelerate AI solution delivery across the organization.

• Demonstrated experience working directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements, map processes, and identify high-impact opportunities for AI-driven improvement.
• Hands-on experience prototyping or building AI-powered solutions, not just managing them from a distance.
• Experience with AI/ML products and platforms in enterprise environments, including GenAI applications, conversational AI, or intelligent automation.
• Proven ability to drive a step change in the performance of a product and the effectiveness of the team that delivers it.
• Experience managing products through the full lifecycle, from discovery through prototyping, validation, and deployment support.
