Senior Business Analyst, AI

BASIC FUNCTION

The AI / Agentic Product Owner is responsible for post-release ownership and continuous optimization of agentic AI products. This role ensures that deployed AI solutions deliver ongoing business value through effective backlog management, prioritization, and cross-functional coordination.

The Agentic Product Owner serves as the primary decision-maker for live AI products, translating feedback, performance signals, and business needs into prioritized work. This role partners closely with AI Enablement, AI Trainers, engineering, and business stakeholders to continuously refine agent behavior, improve outcomes, and scale AI capabilities.

This role also requires a foundational understanding of generative AI concepts (e.g., LLMs, RAG, prompt behavior) to effectively manage AI-driven backlogs and product decisions.
