Vendor Management & Enterprise AI Governance:

• Manage strategic relationships with AI platform vendors and continuously evaluate emerging market tools for platform expansion and integration.

• Establish and manage the enterprise AI Tool Request and Vetting Process, working closely with Data Governance, Legal and Cyber Security to enforce strict standards around data privacy, IP protection, copyright compliance, and security.

What you’ll bring:

• 5+ years of experience in product management, with a strong focus on enterprise self-serve software, SaaS platforms, or business-facing AI tools.

• Demonstrated experience managing strategic AI vendor ecosystems and executing commercial tool evaluation frameworks.

• Experience leading low-code/no-code platform strategies, prompt engineering libraries, or agentic builder frameworks.
