Company Description
QAD is a leading provider of ERP solutions purpose-built for manufacturing industries — automotive, life sciences, food & beverage, high tech, and industrial. Serving thousands of global manufacturers, QAD's Adaptive Manufacturing Cloud helps companies operate with greater precision, agility, and intelligence.
Enterprise software is entering a third era. The first gave manufacturers a System of Record — ERP that answered 'what do we have and what did we commit to?' The second gave them Data Infrastructure — the ability to move, analyse, and query that data at scale. The third era is domain-specific intelligence: AI agents that can act autonomously on manufacturing data, but only if that data has been given the context, relationships, and governed rules that allow an agent to reason correctly.
ERA — QAD's Enterprise Resource Allocation platform — is the domain intelligence layer that sits between any ERP and any AI agent. It encodes what manufacturing data means, governs what agents are permitted to do, and makes every autonomous decision traceable and accountable.




Job Description
QAD AI is building the Persona Agent platform — the product that lets manufacturers deploy AI agents across procurement, sourcing, order management and planning. As we scale deployments through our Forward Deployed Engineering motion, the platform has to mature just as quick as the field learns. That is this role.
The Senior Applied AI Product Manager owns the Persona Agent platform roadmap end-to-end. You decide what the platform does out-of-the-box, what becomes reusable, and what stays a one-off — turning the signal coming back from real customer deployments into a coherent, defensible product. You report directly to the Head of AI and are the product counterpart to the field.
What You'll Own
1. The Persona Agent platform roadmap
You own the roadmap for the platform and its agent capabilities — the vision, the priorities, and the trade-offs. You decide what gets built,
