This team develops and operates a wide-ranging suite of generative-AI products and infrastructure, serving as a centralized platform to drive innovation and efficiency across the firm. This role owns the firm's user-facing generative-AI products and is centered on deeply understanding users and connecting their asks to product changes (including technical implementation), offering a broad view of the firm's generative-AI practice and the opportunity to shape how the firm adopts these tools.
WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
- Own the product direction and delivery for the firm's flagship user-facing AI agent and chat experiences, expanding to other end-user generative-AI products over time.
- Spend time understanding both technical and non-technical users and identifying new ways AI products can support or transform their workflows.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
- Five to ten years of product-management experience, ideally building AI/ML or generative-AI products, developer tools, or enterprise software.
- A bachelor’s degree or higher; a degree in computer science or a related technical discipline is preferred but not required.
- A technologist mindset and sufficient technical depth to understand the product and ecosystem, and read and understand code and how components fit together; some coding experience is beneficial.
- An evangelist mindset, and the ability to lead by example to encourage learning and adoption of AI solutions across the firm.
- Keen prioritization and business cost/benefit analysis skills; a data-driven approach to evaluating product success, with the flexibility to change direction as the industry continues to evolve.
- Excellent user-interviewing skills, with a deep interest in partnering closely with users to understand problems and transform workflows.
- The expected annual base salary for this position is $230,000 to $300,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
