Product Manager Workforce AI | Hybrid | Hyderabad
Location: Hyderabad, India (Hybrid)
Team: AI Product Management
Reports to: Senior Director, Strategic Programs (AI Product Management)
About the Role
Cornerstone's Workforce AI platform is redefining how the world's largest organizations understand their people building a skills-first intelligence layer that connects workforce data, market signal, and a growing set of AI-powered and agentic experiences.
We're hiring a Product Manager in Hyderabad to drive execution across the Workforce Intelligence platform, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams. This role sits close to the build: you'll own delivery of platform capabilities from spec through release, ensure quality across the release pipeline, and serve as the connective tissue between global product strategy and day-to-day engineering execution.
This is a role for a PM who loves shipping someone who is technical enough to earn engineering's trust, rigorous enough to own release quality, and customer-minded enough to keep every sprint tied to real enterprise outcomes.
What You'll Do
- Own delivery of platform capabilities end-to-end: requirements, specs, sprint planning, release readiness, and post-release quality
- Partner daily with engineering teams to translate product strategy into well-scoped, buildable increments
- Drive the release process for your workstreams — release notes, gating criteria, risk identification, and cross-team dependency management
- Own API and headless access capabilities, including agent tooling and developer-facing experiences that let customers and partners build on the platform
- Write clear, structured product artifacts: PRDs, technical specs, acceptance criteria, and test scenarios
- Support enterprise customer deliveries by triaging escalations, validating fixes,
and closing the loop between customer-reported gaps and the roadmap
- Contribute to platform quality and compliance practices, including documentation supporting SOC 2 and responsible AI requirements
- Use AI-assisted workflows as a core part of how you work — we build with AI, not just for it
What You'll Bring
- 3y+ years of product management experience, ideally with enterprise SaaS or platform products — able to resolve a wide range of issues of diverse scope with good judgment in selecting methods and approaches
- Strong technical fluency — you can read an API contract, discuss data models with engineers, and translate system architecture tradeoffs to drive intended business outcomes
- Proven track record of shipping: you've owned releases, managed dependencies, and driven quality across a delivery pipeline
- Experience with enterprise platform products; familiarity with AI-powered or LLM-based features is a strong plus
- Crisp written communication — specs and status updates that engineers, executives, and customers can all act on
- Comfort operating across time zones with globally distributed product and engineering leadership
- Ownership mindset: you find gaps before they become escalations and close them without being asked
Nice to Have
- Experience with HR tech, talent intelligence, skills platforms, or people analytics
- Familiarity with developer platforms: APIs, SDKs, webhooks, or agent/tool protocols
- Exposure to compliance-driven product work (SOC 2, data privacy, EU AI Act)
- Hands-on experience prototyping with AI coding tools
Why This Role
You'll join a small, senior team building the AI backbone of a market-leading platform, with exposure to global product leadership and enterprise customers — and you'll help define how AI-native product teams operate.
Cornerstone is an equal prospect employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
