Personio is on the path to becoming an AI-first company, redesigning how every department operates, and the Internal AI team is leading that transformation from the inside.

Central to that mission is building Personio's internal AI operating system: the layer of automations, agents, and tools each function runs on.

Internal AI PMs own this at the domain level — taking on the most complex or highest-stakes business functions, working end-to-end from process mapping to roadmap to adoption.

Most PMs hand off to engineers. This role is different. You own the roadmap and you ship it, working alongside a team of AI Engineers when projects need deeper technical depth. We're looking for experienced builders with direct, hands-on experience with AI and automation — people who have already shipped things in production and can bring that credibility into conversations with C-level stakeholders.

• Map workflows with department leadership and C-level stakeholders to identify where time and capacity are lost, distinguishing what can be accelerated from what should be redesigned entirely
• Push beyond "automate what exists": the highest-value opportunities redesign the workflow, not just speed it up
• Size and validate before building; maintain a prioritised backlog with clear rationale, and own the quarterly view presented to your domain head and C-level counterparts
• Represent the Internal AI team in your domain, surfacing blockers and opportunities back to the Director of AI and keeping senior stakeholders aligned on priorities and tradeoffs
• Contribute to how the Internal AI PM team operates: share approaches to prioritisation, governance, and stakeholder alignment that raise the bar across the function

• Design, build, test, and deploy automations and agents across your domain using Personio's internal AI stack, taking solutions from initial scoping through to production systems the business relies on
• Own the full build lifecycle: not just prototypes, but live, maintained solutions with real adoption and measurable outcomes
• Bring in AI Engineers for the most complex problems; know where that line is and involve them early
• Register every build in the Tool Register and uphold Personio's AI governance standards: your solutions set the bar for the whole organisation

• Shipping is not the finish line; adoption is. Own whether solutions get used and deliver the outcomes you scoped
• Track usage and impact after deployment and iterate based on real usage, not spec assumptions
• Build AI capability across your domain by running sessions, office hours, and hands-on coaching that help colleagues adopt AI tools and build simple automations themselves. The goal is a function that moves with AI independently, not one that waits for the AI team

• 5-7+ years in product management, automation, or AI engineering at a fast-paced tech company or consultancy — shipping production solutions, not prototypes
• A track record of building and deploying automations and AI solutions end-to-end, from requirements to live, maintained systems with real adoption
• Hands‑on with the modern AI build stack: LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI), agent frameworks (e.g. Lang Graph), MCP and RAG, and no‑code platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier, Cowork)
• Working knowledge of Python and SQL
• Strong product judgment and senior‑stakeholder influence: turning ambiguous needs into scoped solutions, owning a prioritised roadmap, and driving change with C‑level stakeholders without direct authority
• A clear view of where AI and automation can and can't help, and where the space is heading

Personio is an equal…
