Senior Manager - AI Product Management

This job posting is anticipated to remain open for 30 days, from 13-Oct-2026. The posting may close early due to the volume of applicants.

The Senior Manager, AI Product Manager leads a team responsible for a portfolio of AI products and reusable AI capabilities, including AI models, agents, retrieval systems, knowledge assets, platform capabilities, and emerging AI technologies. This role combines strategic AI product leadership with accountability for team performance, talent development, and delivery of business outcomes.

The Senior Manager treats AI as the product, owning strategy, discovery, prioritization, adoption, lifecycle management, and measurable outcomes for reusable AI capabilities that support multiple business areas, products, customer experiences, and enterprise workflows. The role ensures AI capabilities are designed as scalable, reusable products rather than one-time solutions.

Operating with significant autonomy, the Senior Manager translates enterprise priorities and customer needs into product roadmaps, investment decisions, and measurable value. The role balances hands-on product leadership with responsibility for coaching and developing AI Product Managers while establishing clear priorities, accountability, and effective ways of working.

The Senior Manager partners across EJ Labs, Engineering, Data, Product Management, Architecture, Experience, Risk, and business functions to align AI capabilities, influence enterprise AI direction, and ensure AI products remain reliable, governed, and aligned with responsible AI practices.
