- Ship and iterate: Manage releases, test with users, and improve the product in short cycles. Own the production roadmap for the app.
- Measure and grow: Define product metrics (adoption, retention, task completion, time saved) and use them to guide decisions. Report results to business leaders.
- Drive adoption: Build onboarding, in-app guidance, training materials, and feedback channels so users adopt the product and keep using it.
- Partner on governance: Work with data platform, IT, security, and compliance teams to ensure the product meets security, privacy, and regulatory requirements. You own the decisions, and these teams advise on constraints.
- Stay current: Track emerging AI tools and patterns and bring practical ones into the product. Have a clear Build / Buy strategy with the current emerging capabilities
What You Bring
- 8+ years of experience building digital products, with at least 3 years as the accountable owner of a live application used by real users.

- Experience using data and analytics to make product decisions, including product analytics tools and A/B testing.
- Hands-on understanding of AI and GenAI capabilities (LLMs, prompt design, RAG, semantic search) and their practical limits.
- Track record of user-centered design and research.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
- How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
- Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
- If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Prompt engineering and RAG. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
