Job description

Описание

Simon-Kucher’s AI Lab develops AI-powered products that convert our expertise in pricing, commercial strategy, marketing and sales into reusable technology assets for consultants and clients. We are seeking a highly experienced, hands‑on product leader who combines genuine AI product management expertise with consulting fluency, commercial judgment and exceptional executive communication.

Задачи

• Own the product, not just the backlog.
• Define product direction, target users, value proposition, and measurable outcomes for AI applications that productize Simon-Kucher know‑how and improve consulting delivery or client results.
• Partner with consulting leaders, consultants and end users to turn complex, sometimes unfamiliar industry problems into validated use cases and clearly defined product decisions.
• Frame lean MVPs, make explicit scope trade‑offs, and prioritize the highest‑value capabilities for 6–8‑week target cycles and subsequent fast iterations.
• Create clear problem statements, lean specifications, user journeys and acceptance criteria; prioritize ruthlessly based on evidence, value, technical feasibility and risk.
• Evaluate when GenAI, retrieval‑augmented generation, agentic workflows, conventional analytics or non‑AI approaches best solve a business problem, in partnership with engineering.
• Define product‑level quality benchmarks and AI evaluations covering accuracy, grounding, reliability, user trust, cost, latency, security and appropriate human oversight.
• Work as a credible peer to experienced software engineers, AI specialists and designers; challenge and resolve trade‑offs while respecting technical ownership.
• Drive decisions with Partners and Senior Partners, communicate options and trade‑offs crisply, address conflicting priorities and constructively push back when required.
• Lead pilots, user feedback, adoption and iterative improvement; manage product risks including confidentiality, data protection, responsible AI and enterprise requirements.

Требования

• Extensive end‑to‑end product experience (typically 7+ years in product leadership or an equivalent consulting/product combination), with clear accountability for outcomes—not only delivery coordination.
• Hands‑on ownership of AI/GenAI products, from zero‑to‑one MVP through launch, evaluation and improvement; evidence of multiple meaningful AI product iterations.
• Strong practical grasp of LLM‑based product patterns—including retrieval‑augmented generation, tool use and agentic workflows—as well as evaluation methods, limitations, failure modes and AI‑versus‑non‑AI trade‑offs.
• Enough technical depth to work confidently with senior engineers on APIs, data flows, integrations, model and architecture choices, deployment constraints and quality/cost/latency trade‑offs.
• Coding proficiency is not required.
• Product Owner or Agile certification.
• Genuine familiarity with strategy consulting or professional‑services businesses, consultant workflows, partner‑led decision‑making and the challenge of transforming expert know‑how into reusable client‑facing or internal tools.
• Excellent business judgment and structured thinking; able to understand unfamiliar industries rapidly and identify opportunities in pricing, revenue growth, sales or marketing.
• Executive presence and excellent communication; able to influence and constructively challenge Partners and Senior Partners without formal authority.
• A high‑ownership, entrepreneurial operating style: comfortable making decisions amid ambiguity, prioritizing hard choices, adapting to feedback and being accountable for results under aggressive timelines.
• Strong user research, experimentation and analytics skills; clear judgment on the viability, desirability and feasibility of enterprise AI products, including confidentiality, privacy and responsible‑AI considerations.
• Fluent professional English. Будет плюсом: German is an advantage.
