- Integrate AI into Core Products: Develop and maintain a product roadmap for embedding automation into existing solutions, such as receipt and invoice reconciliation or ad platform optimizations to enhance efficiency and scalability.
- Ensure Governance and Compliance: Align automation initiatives with data governance, compliance, and auditability standards, ensuring responsible and transparent AI implementation.
- Evaluate and Implement Technologies: Conduct vendor assessments (e.g., Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI APIs) and manage proofs of concept (PoCs) to validate technical feasibility and business impact.
What you bring
- 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in AI, ML, automation, or data-driven products.
- Strong understanding of AI technologies (LLMs, embeddings, OCR, predictive models) and their business applications.
- Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes.
