About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the highest-leverage, ambiguous, or hardest-to-solve problems in the pillar — the platform-level bets and the initiatives where the outcome matters most
Personally ship the work: PRDs, prototypes, shipped features, customer research synthesis, and post-launch analyses — at the quality bar the rest of the team calibrates against
Build and deploy AI-native workflows: prototype in AI coding tools, run discovery and synthesis through LLMs, ship internal agents that eliminate repetitive work, and publish those workflows as team standards
Partner with engineering leadership on technical direction for the pillar — data contracts, AI/model integration decisions, platform investments
Translate GM-level strategy into a crisp, opinionated product vision for the pillar; set the product quality bar the team works against
Run end-to-end discovery: customer interviews, data analysis, competitive research, opportunity sizing — AI-accelerated at every stage
Lead cross-pillar initiatives that touch more than one product, where a senior IC perspective is more valuable than a management handoff
Represent the pillar in customer executive conversations, industry forums, and cross-functional executive reviews
Mentor 3–6 peer PMs through weekly 1:1s, PRD reviews, shadowing on discovery calls, and pair-shipping on hard problems
Raise the team's AI fluency: teach AI-native workflows, maintain the pillar's prompt and agent library, review AI-generated artifacts for quality
Own the hiring bar for the pillar's PM hires; lead technical interview loops and make hire/no-hire calls alongside the GM
Be the person peers escalate to when stuck — unblock them and make the call on hard tradeoffs
Model operating norms (documentation, async comms, meeting hygiene) that keep the team flat and fast
