Key Outcomes & Responsibilities • Product Strategy & Roadmap • Own and evolve the roadmap for enterprise AI solutions (platforms, agentic AI, applications, security, operations). • Translate business objectives and demand signals into product bets, milestones, and outcomes. • Define problem statements, value hypotheses, and success metrics. • Intake, Prioritization & Stakeholder Alignment • Run intake/triage with AI Hive, GTM, and delivery leaders. • Align priorities, sequencing, and release scope. • Facilitate decisions balancing strategic value, technical feasibility, and operational readiness. • Execution & Delivery • Convert strategy into executable work (epics, stories, acceptance criteria, release plans). • Lead agile ceremonies and feedback loops with engineering, design, and solution owners. • Drive discovery and validation (user interviews, prototypes, dogfooding). • Develop demos/POCs using AWS/NVIDIA and other enterprise AI hyperscalers. • Enablement & Scale • Package solutions for scale (documentation, reference architectures, enablement kits). • Build repeatable accelerators and sales engineering content for internal and field use. • Maintain playbooks for scalable, repeatable Product Ownership. • Measurement & Communication • Define, track, and communicate KPIs (adoption, cycle time, quality, ROI). • Publish roadmap updates and value stories for executive stakeholders. Must-Have Qualifications • 6–10+ years in Solution/Product Management (platforms, applications, internal tools, or enterprise solutions). • Track record of shipping high-impact solutions in agile environments. • Experience delivering GenAI/AI use cases (prompt-driven workflows, RAG, agentic orchestration, analytics assistants). • Strong product discovery and solution design skills (journey mapping, experimentation, data-informed decisions). • Excellent stakeholder engagement across engineering, design/UX, security, and GTM. • Fluency in backlog management, release planning, and telemetry-driven iteration. Nice-To-Have Qualifications • Familiarity with modern AI stacks (LLMs/APIs, vector databases, orchestration frameworks). • Experience packaging frameworks/accelerators for sales teams. • Hands-on experience with AWS, NVIDIA, and other Data, AI and Cloud technologies. Environment & Success Metrics • Portfolio anchored on focused AI solution areas, with clear success criteria and repeatability. • Cross-functional teaming via AI Hive (strategy → solution development → enablement/delivery). • Enterprise AI Outcome spanning strategy, platforms/engineering, security & trust, and application layers. How Success Will Be Measured • Internal adoption and enablement of prioritized AI solutions; successful demos/POCs (AWS/NVIDIA). • Delivery of client engagements with measurable impact and repeatable patterns. • Documented time-to-value, quality, or productivity gains for internal users. • Predictable release cadence and cycle-time improvements. • Solutions shipped with field-ready artifacts (docs, references, governance patterns). • Strong stakeholder feedback and confidence in roadmap, risks, and results.
