You are:

An AI-native Forward Deployed Product Manager who leads a single AI delivery team built on an agentic harness (the orchestration environment of agents, skills, specs, and context that produces and runs the product). You turn business problems into the specs the harness executes, run the loop yourself, and demonstrate the working product and its value directly to clients. You build and skill your own agents, engineer the context the harness reasons over, and prototype to shape a product fast.

You are technically fluent and hands-on, without replacing the engineering accountability for production code and operations.

Building agents: hands-on experience creating and skilling AI agents (skills, tools, and context / markdown files).

Spec-driven development: writing specifications and driving development from them.

Context engineering: curating the knowledge, retrieval, and memory an AI system reasons over.

Vibe coding and prototyping: building clickable prototypes and concepts with AI tools.

Generative AI and LLM fundamentals: working knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, prompt engineering, AI agents, and agentic workflows.

Product or delivery leadership: experience leading product management, technical product management, delivery management, or business analysis in complex environments.

Technical fluency: APIs, integrations, cloud platforms, and modern architectures; able to discuss interaction and dependency points with engineers (without owning the implementation).

Client-facing delivery: ability to run client demos and communicate product value independently.

Leadership through influence: ability to lead without authority, make decisions under ambiguity, and operate effectively in evolving client environments.

The Work:

You will embed with a client delivery team and lead one harness team end to end: from discovery and mobilization, through writing the specs and business requirements the harness runs on, to running demos of the working product and the harness itself. You manage the team to stakeholder expectations; the stakeholder-leadership seat sits with the Senior Forward Deployed Product Manager.

Responsibilities:

Lead discovery and mobilization (first ~2 weeks): assess what the team and client need, break down the problem, and stand up the agentic harness for the product.·      

Build and skill AI agents for the harness: create agent skills and tools, author markdown / context files, and engineer the context the harness reasons over.·
