Principal Product Manager Enterprise AI Product and Strategy

Role Overview

Real estate is the largest asset class on earth: $393 trillion worth more than global equities and debt combined and still one of the least automated industries anywhere. JLL sits at the heart of it a Fortune 200 company advising on the buildings the world works in and the capital that moves them.

Every employee at JLL now has AI in their hands at different levels of capability and cost. Deciding which products the company offers to whom and under what guardrails is an ongoing product challenge and this role will own that. We are looking for someone who can see past what AI can do today to where the frontier is heading and use that foresight to guide JLLs strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Youll own JLLs Enterprise AI product strategy: which products we buy which products we build and how we deploy both to create value at scale. That means running vendor evaluation and selection keeping the portfolio current as the market shifts and making build-versus-buy calls as new options emerge. It also means actively tracking the trajectory of frontier AI capabilities (model releases agentic systems cost curves) and translating that into a view of what JLLs products and workforce will need 1224 months out. A critical input into that strategy is how it interacts with business- and function-driven AI initiatives elsewhere in the organization. Understanding those dependencies and shaping the roadmap around them is one of your key responsibilities.

Youll spend significant time with users and business lines doing discovery: learning what theyre trying to get done where todays products fall short and which workarounds people have built on their own that point to a product gap. That discovery is yours to own and feeds everything else in this role: the portfolio strategy the build-versus-buy calls and the governance model.

Youll partner with governance and risk teams to make sure the products you bring into the portfolio and how theyre rolled out meet JLLs responsible AI standards.

Youll build but selectively: youre looking for the specific high-value cases where something purpose-built for our industry is the right call: capabilities distinctive enough to justify JLLs own investment rather than general ones the market will commoditize. Where that bar is met youll scope it advocate for it and see it through.

Youll define and track adoption and value metrics for the Enterprise AI portfolio (usage fluency progression and business outcomes) and report progress against Accelerate 2030 commitments. Youll be measured on those numbers on how defensible your product and vendor recommendations are when tested by finance and business leadership and on whether the strategy stays coherent with what the rest of the business is doing in AI.

Youll work closely with the Enterprise AI enablement team to achieve our overall goals and metrics. Adoption is a means not the goal. Ultimately youre accountable for value delivered- benefits realized net of cost. You will constantly strive to increase the intelligence delivered per dollar of spend.

Required Experience

• Deep fluency with frontier AI and agent concepts including where model capabilities and costs are likely to be in 1224 months. You can evaluate a vendors technical claims yourself and make roadmap bets ahead of the market.

• Strong judgment on sequencing and prioritizing a multi-product roadmap where products sit at different lifecycle stages from active growth to maintenance.

• Familiarity with responsible AI practices and governance frameworks for scaling AI safely across a large organization.

• A track record of developing and defending product or portfolio strategy at the executive level grounded in rigorous analysis.

• Strong financial analysis and cost-modeling skills including building and defending a total-cost-of-ownership or unit-economics model yourself.

• Experience building user-centric products that balance intuitiveness with utility.

• Experience working in global matrixed organizations across geographies and business lines including a track record of driving a cross-functional decision to closure in a large distributed organization.

• Exceptional communication and influence: you can break down complex problems make a clear case for your perspective and persuade others with logic and data.
