Lead

About the role

  • Own the Pre-Press and Editorial product portfolio that turns card concepts into print-ready files, including software across workflows such as mastering and asset ingestion, image selection, cropping and editing, card composition, imposition, and handoff to manufacturing.
  • Decide how work gets done across this portfolio, including when to build new software, stabilize or refactor existing systems, or integrate with third-party and vendor platforms.
  • Simplify and automate highly manual, error-prone workflows between creative teams and manufacturing, reducing rework, cycle time, and inconsistencies in print-ready outputs.
  • Apply AI and automation to real production problems by improving adoption of existing capabilities (e.g., AI card-back copy generation), delivering in-flight efforts (e.g., validation and error detection), and identifying where AI can remove steps entirely.
  • Work hands-on with engineering and data teams to turn AI and workflow ideas into reliable, production-ready systems, not prototypes.
  • Deliver results through shared ownership and collaboration with business operations, internal software teams, and external vendors, while maintaining end-to-end accountability across a highly matrixed environment.
  • Operate as a Principal-level Individual Contributor, setting the bar for product judgment, execution quality, and cross-team partnership, and influencing other PMs through example

Requirements

  • 10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex, operationally critical platforms, and ability to use various product development software (Atlassian Suite, Figma, Text Editors, etc…).
  • Proven success operating as a Principal-level Individual Contributor, owning strategy and execution for large problem spaces.
  • Deep experience with workflow-heavy systems that involve creative, editorial, media, or production pipelines.
  • Strong intuition for how businesses use tools like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, or similar creative systems, even if you’re not a daily user.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply AI and automation to real-world product problems, with strong product judgment around feasibility and impact.
  • Experience in building and applying RAG Models and Evaluation frameworks.
  • Exceptional collaborator who can drive alignment across teams, vendors, and business partners without formal authority.
  • Clear, persuasive communicator with strong executive presence.
