• Hands-on AI Prototyping & Quality: Use modern AI tools to prototype agent workflows, refine prompt structures, and establish robust evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and telemetry for production quality.
• Human-AI Collaboration Systems: Design the balance between automation and human oversight, including escalation paths, workspace tools, auditability, and safety controls.
• Customer Discovery & Feedback Loops: Spend dedicated time with enterprise clients to understand constraints, translate user feedback into actionable requirements, and drive feature adoption.
• Cross-Functional Execution: Partner across Engineering, Forward Deployed Experts, and Leadership to align technical architecture, streamline product launches, and navigate cross-team dependencies.

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years of Product Management experience shipping technical enterprise software, developer platforms, or complex workflow automation products.
• Hands-on experience building with AI, including direct exposure to Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic workflows, multi-step orchestration, or tool integration.
• Startup Agility & Ownership: Proven ability to manage your own work autonomously, navigate organizational ambiguity, and lead zero-to-one product initiatives in fast-paced environments.
• Technical Acumen: Comfortable diving into technical details with engineering teams, including APIs, data models, retrieval, tool usage, and evaluation systems.
• Builder Mindset: Direct experience using AI coding, prototyping, and modern developer tools to build working proofs of concept and validate product ideas quickly.
• Customer-Centric Instincts: Strong track record of converting complex enterprise customer problems into clear, scalable product requirements and intuitive workflows.

Preferred

• Prior experience in Conversational AI, Customer Support, Contact Center Software, or omnichannel CX platforms.
• Hands-on familiarity with simulation engines, AI observability systems, or controlled feature releases for probabilistic software.
• Experience building enterprise integrations, multi-tenant architectures, or security and governance features.
• Prior history thriving in an early-stage or high-growth startup environment where speed and execution matter daily.

Who You Are

You are an autonomous, hands-on product leader who excels at turning rapid advances in AI into reliable enterprise products. You pair sharp technical fluency and prototyping skills with the organizational maturity to navigate cross-functional complexities and drive consensus across diverse teams.

What You'll Get In Return

• Category-Defining Impact: Ground-floor opportunity to shape how enterprise customer experience is rebuilt around AI agents and human expertise.
• Competitive Total Compensation: Base salary range of $150,000 – $250,000, quarterly performance bonus, and meaningful equity options.
