About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the AI creation product surface: drive AI-powered asset generation, intelligent template recommendations, and the overall experience that turns a blank canvas into a working solution
Define and drive the activation strategy: set the vision for how AI reduces time-to-value for new and expanding users, with a clear north star metric and a roadmap to move it
Improve AI output quality: define standards for AI-generated content in Smartsheet, and work with engineering and design to improve the accuracy and usefulness of outputs over time
Build the PLG feedback loop: optimize creation flows to understand what drives users to their "aha moment," use that signal to iterate fast, and turn activation wins into expansion
Partner deeply across the org: work with engineering, design, data science, and platform teams to ship capabilities that are both technically excellent and delightful to use
Set the bar for quality and craft: define what "great" looks like for AI-generated content in Smartsheet and hold the team accountable to it
Communicate with influence: distill complex AI and growth dynamics into crisp strategy narratives for executives, GTM partners, and the broader product org

Requirements

What you’ll need

8-10+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years owning AI/ML-powered product experiences
Proven PLG instincts: you've owned activation, onboarding, or self-serve growth metrics and know how to move them
Deep curiosity about AI: you understand how generative AI and LLMs work well enough to push the boundaries of what's possible and have productive debates with engineers
A track record of shipping: you've taken complex, ambiguous AI or growth initiatives from 0 to 1 and scaled them
Data fluency: you're comfortable defining success metrics, designing experiments, and making judgment calls when the data is incomplete
Enterprise product sensibility: you understand the unique constraints of building for enterprise buyers while optimizing for end-user delight
Excellent communication skills: written, verbal, and visual; you can sell a vision and sweat the details.
