Job Summary
We are seeking a visionary and hands-on Principal Product Manager to lead our Vertical AI strategy, re-imagining core business workflows in Marketing, Sales, Legal, and Finance from the ground up. In this role, you will move beyond generic AI additions to build high-value, domain-specific solutions that directly impact the company's bottom line. You will combine classical product management rigor with AI-native speed, rapidly building functional prototypes to prove concepts and using rigorous frameworks to focus on high-impact use cases that pass feasibility checks for stakes, accuracy, and economics.
Key Responsibilities
Own, build, and maintain a prioritized 12-month product roadmap that balances quick wins with long-term strategic bets, translating stakeholder requests into concrete, actionable epics.
Serve as the primary liaison between technical engineering and non-technical business leaders, translating complex AI concepts into business risk and effectively managing stakeholder expectations.
Develop and execute go-to-market strategies and change management plans, creating launch materials and training guides to ensure successful user adoption of new AI tools.
Rapidly build and iterate on functional prototypes using AI-native tools (e.g., Replit, Cursor, no-code builders) to validate process fit and user experience before committing full engineering resources.
Utilize prompt engineering in playground environments to test the feasibility of AI solutions, ensuring only viable concepts are added to the engineering roadmap.
Define and own the Product Requirements Document (PRD), establishing rigorous, non-negotiable standards for production such as 'Error Budgets' and 'Golden Sets'.
Create, curate, and version-control the 'Golden Set'—a definitive dataset of inputs and ideal outputs—to scientifically grade and validate AI model performance.
