Meet regularly with clients representing our team, so strong client-facing skills are essential
Translate business objectives into clear requirements and acceptance criteria; ensure tickets are unambiguous and testable. Demonstrated ability to produce logic (truth tables, etc)
Keep abreast of the rapidly developing use and deployment of AI tools and techniques, and collaborate with your team and company leadership to integrate this knowledge into our approach
Coordinate across disciplines to ensure data readiness, evaluate and integrate AI model outputs, and ensure alignment with explainability, trust, and governance practices
Plan and track work (milestones, risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies), budgets, and delivery signals (e.g., burnup/burndown, velocity)
Mitigate risks proactively; lead issue triage and escalation paths
Coordinate the day-to-day work of our engineers, designers, and product leaders, and work with client partners to ensure seamless collaboration and quality delivery
Partner with account leaders to manage scope and client expectations (draft SOWs, identify scope changes, identify opportunities for growth, escalate issues, validate invoices, etc.)
Willing to do what is needed to help the company succeed. Partner with company leadership to help draft new business proposals, RFPs, and participate in new business pitches
Qualification
Required
4+ years of software product management / development experience or in a related role in a consultancy/agency or product organization delivering custom software

The ability to rapidly understand new business models and product ideas
Strong command of agile delivery (usually Scrum or Kanban), while being flexible to the requirements of our clients
