AI in this role
Principal Product Manager owning the strategy, roadmap, and commercial success of an AI-powered video understanding service.
We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to own the product strategy, roadmap, and commercial success of Elemental Inference. This is a single-threaded owner role. You will define what we build, why we build it, and how we bring it to market. You will work directly with applied scientists training video foundation models, engineers operating a real-time inference service, and customers running production workloads on it.
This role requires someone who can operate at the intersection of AI/ML product development and commercial execution. You will own the P&L, define pricing and packaging strategy, and drive adoption across a portfolio that spans AI inference, video monetization, and content intelligence. You will make trade-off decisions between expanding into new capabilities and verticals versus deepening quality and reducing cost on what exists today. You will represent Elemental Inference to AWS leadership, cross-org partners, and directly to customers.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the product strategy, roadmap, and P&L for Elemental Inference. Set pricing, define packaging, monitor revenue, and adjust GTM approach based on adoption data and customer feedback.
- Prioritize features based on customer requirements, revenue impact, competitive dynamics, and technical feasibility. Make explicit scope decisions between breadth (new capabilities, new verticals) and depth (quality, latency, cost).
- Partner with the applied science team on model roadmap decisions. Translate customer needs into science requirements and define the bar for production readiness.
- Drive cross-service integration with adjacent Elemental services (monetization, live encoding, VOD processing) to deliver end-to-end intelligent media workflows.
- Lead cross-org initiatives that span multiple AWS organizations, building alignment on joint product development where shared customer problems require coordinated solutions.
- Engage directly with strategic enterprise customers to validate product direction, close design partnerships, and drive adoption of launched features.
- Define and manage the partner ecosystem strategy for data dependencies (sports data providers, content licensing) that enable product capabilities.
- Identify and evaluate expansion opportunities where the core technology creates value in adjacent domains beyond the service's initial market.
- Represent Elemental Inference at industry events and with AWS leadership. Communicate product vision, competitive positioning, and business performance with clarity.
