You will also engage with customers to define products and roadmaps, develop business strategy and market positioning, and bring products to market. We need a self-starter to grow this area and help build the future of AI.

• Enterprise Model Risk Management: Define requirements for model evaluations and mitigations, such as post training improvements and guardrails
• Contribute to Open Source: Publish and guide the community on best practices for identifying and mitigating open model risks.

• Market intelligence: Understand the developers, partners, and competitors
• Build and Deliver: Collaborate with engineering to promote the customer's needs through setting feature priorities across roadmaps
• Sense and Respond: Work closely with customers, build surveys, present at conferences, understand product quality and supervise critical bugs
• Marketing content creation: Work with marketing to define positioning that enables the creation of technical content, including blog posts, webinars, developer tutorials, and more to communicate the product value proposition
• Product launches: Define the go-to-market strategy and provide mentorship to the cross-functional implementation of the plan across marketing, public relations, and sales.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or other technical field (or equivalent experience). MBA is a plus.
• 15+ overall years of technical product management, or similar, experience at a technology company
• 6+ years direct people management experience.
• Passion for delivering software, libraries and SDKs
• Proven track record of teamwork across teams, customers, and partners
• Outstanding interpersonal and public communication skills with a shown ability to articulate a value proposition to technical and non-technical audiences
