• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering teams to understand technical requirements and challenges. Translate detailed AI/ML concepts into actionable product specifications and ensure successful implementation.
• Stakeholder Communication: Effectively communicate product vision, strategy, and progress to non-technical stakeholders, including executives and customers. Gather and prioritize feedback to align product development with market needs.
• Customer Engagement: Engage with customers to understand their needs, gather feedback, and ensure our data and AI products meet or exceed their expectations. Develop strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and product adoption.
• Vibe Coding & Prototyping: Rapidly prototype ideas and workflows to validate concepts before committing to detailed epics or specs. You’ll leverage low-code and collaborative tools to build mock-ups, proofs-of-concept, and interactive demos.

• 5+ years as a Product Manager focused on data, analytics, or AI products within a B2B SaaS environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a closely related field; advanced degree a plus.
• Proven track record of shipping data-driven and AI-powered products that solve real customer problems and drive measurable adoption.

• Proven track record of successfully taking an AI/ML model from initial prototype (PoC) to a production-ready, highly-adopted, and scaled commercial feature
• Proven experience in monetizing data or packaging intelligence into premium product tiers, leading to measurable revenue growth
• Practical experience building quick mock-ups or automations in tools like Replit, Lovable.dev, Windsurf or similar low-code/no-code platforms.
• Experience working with large language models (e.g., OpenAI GPT, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Grok, Gemini, etc)
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, large language model tuning, AI ethics frameworks, and bias mitigation techniques
• Familiarity with machine learning frameworks and tools, such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, or Keras.
• Familiarity with MLOps platforms: AWS Bedrock, MLflow, Databricks, Google Cloud Vertex AI, AWS SageMake, or equivalent for model training, deployment, and monitoring.
