• Coordinate with Data Engineering, Insights, and other Product teams to ensure smooth data flows, model deployment, and feedback loops.
• Drive alignment on the usage of ML/AI technologies and best practices across the organization.

Execution & delivery

• Communicate product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria to engineering teams; ensure clarity of priorities and iterative delivery.
• Champion Agile methodologies (or relevant frameworks) to maintain focus on delivering incremental, high-impact features.
• Guarantee each project has a well-defined Problem to Solve, Business Impact, and Success Measurement, continuously tracking progress and iterating as needed.

Performance & impact tracking

• Define KPIs and success metrics for ML/AI solutions (e.g., model accuracy, time-to-delivery, user adoption, etc).
• Analyze performance data to derive actionable insights, optimize outcomes, and refine product roadmap.
• Communicate progress, challenges, and results to key stakeholders, including executive leadership.

Domain expertise & thought leadership

• Stay current with the latest trends in machine learning, AI research, and MLOps best practices.
• Advocate for a data-driven culture, evangelizing ML/AI solutions and sharing success stories that highlight their value.
• Identify opportunities for new or improved AI capabilities that can enhance customer experiences, trust, and satisfaction.

Communication & evangelism

• Serve as an internal ambassador for ML/AI, presenting product updates, demos, and vision statements to cross-functional teams and executives.
• Help non-technical stakeholders understand complex AI concepts in plain language, fostering trust, collaboration, and widespread adoption.

Qualifications

Education & experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5–7+ years of product management experience, ideally focusing on data or AI/ML products.

Technical & domain expertise

• Familiarity with machine learning pipelines, model lifecycle management, and popular ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
