What You Bring

  • 7+ years of product management experience, including at least 3 years driving AI/ML-focused initiatives in a platform or enterprise context.
  • Proven track record of owning AI product strategy and execution at scale — ideally in SaaS, cybersecurity, infrastructure, or data platform environments.
  • Strong understanding of modern AI technologies, including LLMs, supervised and unsupervised learning, NLP, MLOps, and responsible AI practices.
  • Exceptional leadership and cross-functional collaboration skills; able to influence at all levels, from engineers to C-level executives.

  • Experience working with globally distributed teams and a deep appreciation for product scalability, security, and performance.
