The role is increasingly responsible for identifying where AI and automation can raise accuracy, speed, and customer and candidate experience across our solutions — and for building a product team that applies modern AI tools to how it works.

Responsibilities

Define and drive product strategy and initiatives for your team, leading a team of Product Managers who deliver innovative product solutions that provide superior user experiences.
Understand your market through market-sensing activities like engaging with clients and market research, holding your team to the same standard so market requirements and competitive shifts are understood before they show up in the roadmap.

Build strong relationships with key stakeholders and customers, integrating their input into product decisions, and influencing, defending, and negotiating across the business — and with customers — to keep initiatives on track.
Identify and prioritize opportunities to responsibly and compliantly embed AI and intelligent automation into the product portfolio, improving screening accuracy, turnaround time, and user experience.
Work closely with Engineering peers to engage in feasibility, delivery, and trade-off conversations and make good prioritization decisions.

Qualifications

10+ years of customer-facing, enterprise-level software product management experience.
4+ years of people leadership experience with a demonstrated track record of building high-performance, large technical teams.

Experience developing mission-critical enterprise software and high-volume transaction systems.
Demonstrated ability to successfully navigate and drive work forward across functions in a matrixed and agile environment.
Demonstrated success growing products in a regulated or compliance-sensitive domain, partnering with Legal and Privacy to design compliant products.
Strong data fluency: defined success metrics for your product area and up-leveled others, ensuring your reporting line prioritized high-value work and objectively evaluated progress.
You’ve owned results end-to-end, from definition to instrumentation to translation of those measurements into actions that drive outcomes.
Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts and their practical application in enterprise software — sufficient to identify high-value use cases, scope them with engineering and data science, and weigh trade-offs including accuracy, cost, and compliance risk.
Demonstrated use of modern AI-assisted tools to improve product management execution and productivity amongst your team.
