As AI capabilities evolve rapidly, we're moving beyond traditional automation to create AI agents that can understand complex customer needs, make intelligent decisions, and resolve issues with human-level quality. This team works cross-functionally to design, deploy, and scale AI agents that handle real customer conversations and empower our human agents with more information to solve issues. They work alongside our support ops and insights teams to create exceptional experiences when our customers need help most.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in product management, with experience or familiarity with AI, ML, or conversational interfaces
• Deep technical acumen—ability to understand and shape AI system designs, including prompt engineering and agent architectures
• Experience leading a team of engineers and setting clear goals, strategies, and multi-quarter roadmaps
• Comfortable working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you shape solutions as much as implement them

• Technical depth: You can engage credibly with engineers and understand AI/ML/LLM capabilities, limitations, and emerging developments
• Collaboration: You excel at working across functions—engineering, design, operations, and executive teams—to drive aligned outcomes
• Bias to action: You dive deep into complex problems, build elegant solutions, and move quickly to deploy them at scale
• Analytics: You rely on experimentation and data to make decisions and measure real-world impact
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or equivalent technical experience strongly preferred
