The ideal candidate will own the vision, roadmap, and performance of the engine and the AI-powered experiences it enables, from internal tools for our Travel Desk and Trip Designers to member-facing trip planning. This role requires a strategic thinker with deep technical fluency in LLMs, strong product judgment, and the ability to work cross-functionally across engineering, data, content, and trip designer teams.

• Own the data strategy behind the model — working with content, CRM, and analytics teams to curate, structure, and govern high-quality training and retrieval datasets.
• Establish evaluation frameworks to measure model quality, including accuracy, relevance, tone, personalization, and hallucination rates.
• Oversee the full AI product lifecycle, from prototyping and testing to launch, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure the model reflects Indagare’s voice, editorial standards, and trusted recommendations.
• Define and uphold guardrails for responsible AI, including privacy, data security, explainability, and member trust.
• Gather and analyze user feedback to continuously improve model outputs and user experience.
• Communicate regularly with internal and external stakeholders on product status, milestones, and performance metrics.
• Define and track KPIs that measure both model performance and business impact.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in product management, including 2+ years building AI/ML or LLM-powered products.
• Hands-on understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, embeddings, and AI evaluation methods.
• Experience working with data pipelines and structured and unstructured datasets
• Proficient in data analysis (ideally SQL and Google Analytics) and able to make data-driven decisions.
• Strong understanding of software development processes. Ability to communicate technical and AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Familiarity with responsible AI practices, including privacy, bias mitigation, and model safety.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to present complex information clearly and concisely.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage external vendors or development partners.
• Travel, hospitality, or luxury industry experience is preferred.
