About the Role

We are looking for an AI Product Manager who combines strong product management fundamentals with genuine hands-on technical expertise in building and deploying AI/ML systems, including Large Language Models (LLMs) etc. This is a hybrid role suited for someone who can move fluidly between writing PRDs and prototyping a model, between running sprint planning and reviewing training data quality. You'll own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for AI-driven features while staying technically credible with the engineering and data science teams you work alongside.
