Sr. Product Manager

Description

We’re hiring a hands-on Senior Product Manager to lead an AI-driven competitive intelligence and conversational search platform that delivers deeper, more actionable insights than general-purpose AI chat products. You'll own product strategy and execution, from quarterly planning and metrics to shipping features that extract data, create derivative datasets, and assemble them into a usable knowledge graph.

This role requires strong commercial acumen, the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams, and comfort translating highly technical concepts into clear, business-focused narratives.

What You'll Do

Own the product strategy and roadmap for an AI-driven, NLP-based competitive benchmarking product, including quarterly planning cycles, OKRs, and outcome-focused metrics.

Lead data extraction and knowledge graph initiatives by transforming company, people, event, and open-web data into structured, LLM-ready datasets.

Deliver a conversational search experience leveraging embeddings and Boolean search capabilities; continually enhance competitive benchmarking workflows and insights.

Build SaaS-based AI capabilities using modern architectures and integrations through APIs and connectors.

Translate complex technical concepts such as NLP, embeddings, knowledge graphs, LLM orchestration, and agentic workflows into clear customer value propositions and go-to-market messaging.

Partner closely with data science and engineering teams to define data requirements, evaluation frameworks, and AI model strategies.

Conduct discovery and validation with business users, including financial and professional services audiences, to identify competitive intelligence needs and opportunities.

Drive execution across engineering, data, design, and go-to-market teams; remove blockers and ensure measurable outcomes.

Support customer-facing conversations and collaborate with sales and customer success teams to communicate product value.

Key Outcomes (First 90 Days)

Ingest and normalize customer and market documents into the data pipeline, generating derivative datasets and foundational knowledge graph assets.

Enhance data freshness and coverage by augmenting traditional data sources with automated extraction and AI-based enrichment processes.

Launch an initial conversational search experience utilizing embeddings and Boolean search capabilities.

Establish a scalable AI model strategy, including evaluation criteria and decision frameworks for future model selection.

Define product metrics and quarterly planning processes focused on adoption, answer quality, time-to-insight, data freshness, search effectiveness, and cost-performance optimization.
