Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Own an AI agent end to end, from identifying the opportunity through GA launch and beyond
- Prototype and validate agent concepts rapidly, using real customer workflows and data to pressure test viability
- Design production quality agent systems in collaboration with engineering, ensuring reliability, auditability, and trust
- Run customer discovery and Early Adopter programs to validate value and generate references
- Identify the highest ROI agent opportunities in finance and HCM, build conviction with data, and advocate for them

Requirements
- 11+ years of product management experience

- Deep technical acumen: can evaluate agent architectures, debug failure modes, and make informed design tradeoffs with engineering
- Strong communication and relationship building skills across engineering, customers, and executive stakeholders
- Experience in regulated or complex domains (finance, HCM, healthcare, legal) where trust, compliance, and auditability are non negotiable
- Track record of 0 to 1 product development: taken something from idea to revenue
- Bias for action, comfortable making high stakes decisions with incomplete information
