Product Manager — AI — Assisted Production Platform
Overview
You will lead the product strategy and execution for an AI‑assisted production platform that blendsPak workflow integration, automation, and applied AI (including computer vision and generative approaches) to reduce cycle time, improve consistency, and minimize rework for creative and production teams.
You will own the end‑to‑end product lifecycle: shape the vision, define the roadmap, align stakeholders, and partner with engineering and applied AI teams to deliver reliable capabilities in a security‑constrained enterprise environment.
This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role supported by a collaborative, high‑calibre team.
This role is outcome‑driven; success is measured by production impact (time saved, adoption, etc.) and the trust teams place in the platform.
What You’ll Do
Set product vision, strategy, and roadmap
Define a clear product narrative that connects user outcomes, business impact, and technical direction.
Translate discovery into a roadmap that balances quick wins, platform foundations, and long‑term bets.
Own outcomes and success metrics
Define measurable goals such as throughput, cycle time reduction, defect rates, adoption, and rework reduction.
Instrument the product and use data and qualitative feedback to guide prioritisation and iteration.
Deeply understand the workflow and integration surface
Map end‑to‑end production journeys across teams and tools zim.
Define integration requirements with existing workflow systems, asset libraries, and creative tooling APIs.
Clarify source‑of‑truth boundaries, sync behaviours, and operational constraints.
Lead Requirements Definition
Partner with users and SMEs to turn problems into well‑scoped requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
Define edge cases, fallbacks, and “definition of done” for AI‑assisted steps.
Partner tightly with engineering and applied AI
Articulate the what and why and collaborate on the how.
Ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and resilient under real production load.
Drive pragmatic decisions on model usage, evaluation, and human‑in‑the‑loop workflows.
Run an effective delivery cadence
Own backlog prioritisation and keep it transparent and ready.
Collaborate with programme delivery to support agile ceremonies, clarify scope, and unblock teams.
Lead sprint reviews and ensure delivered work meets acceptance criteria and quality bars.
Steer quality, risk, and governance
Identify and manage risks, dependencies, and trade‑offs across product, data, and integration work.
Drive readiness for audits and operational governance, including traceability and reporting.
Communicate with clarity across audiences
Maintain alignment with client stakeholders and internal leadership.
Produce crisp documentation: PRDs, decision logs, rollout plans, and release notes.
What You’ll Bring
Product leadership experience
5+ years in product management (or equivalent) delivering complex software products, ideally workflow or platform products.
Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous problem spaces from discovery through delivery and adoption.
Strong technical fluency
Comfort discussing software architecture, APIs, integration patterns, and operational concerns.
Ability to collaborate credibly with engineers and applied AI/ML practitioners.
Applied AI understanding
Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts (e.g., model evaluation, data quality, uncertainty, human‑in‑the‑loop design, and production monitoring).
Practical understanding of where automation works well, where it fails, and how to design safe fallbacks.
Execution excellence
Strong prioritisation, backlog management, and stakeholder alignment skills.
Experience working in agile teams and shipping iteratively with clear success criteria.
Communication and influence
Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to simplify complex topics.
Confidence engaging stakeholders across product, engineering, élevé design, operations, and leadership.
Nice to Have
Experience with creative production workflows, asset pipelines, or design tooling ecosystems.
Experience building enterprise software in security‑constrained environments (auditability, access controls, restricted tooling, environment separation).
Experience defining quality frameworks for automated outputs (e.g., visual diffs, heatmaps, review queues, sampling strategies).
Relevant certifications (e.g., CSPO) or advanced degrees in a technical discipline.
