Sr. Product Manager

Description

We're hiring a hands-on Senior Product Manager to lead an AI-driven competitive intelligence and conversational search platform that delivers deeper, more actionable insights than general-purpose AI chat products. You'll own product strategy and execution, from quarterly planning and metrics to shipping features that extract data, create derivative datasets, and assemble them into a usable knowledge graph.

This role requires strong commercial acumen, the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams, and comfort translating highly technical concepts into clear, business-focused narratives.

What You'll Do

+ Own the product strategy and roadmap for an AI-driven, NLP-based competitive benchmarking product, including quarterly planning cycles, OKRs, and outcome-focused metrics.

+ Lead data extraction and knowledge graph initiatives by transforming company, people, event, and open-web data into structured, LLM-ready datasets.

+ Deliver a conversational search experience leveraging embeddings and Boolean search capabilities; continually enhance competitive benchmarking workflows and insights.

+ Build SaaS-based AI capabilities using modern architectures and integrations through APIs and connectors.

+ Translate complex technical concepts such as NLP, embeddings, knowledge graphs, LLM orchestration, and agentic workflows into clear customer value propositions and go-to-market messaging.

+ Partner closely with data science and engineering teams to define data requirements, evaluation frameworks, and AI model strategies.

+ Conduct discovery and validation with business users, including financial and professional services audiences, to identify competitive intelligence needs and opportunities.

+ Drive execution across engineering, data, design, and go-to-market teams; remove blockers and ensure measurable outcomes.

+ Support customer-facing conversations and collaborate with sales and customer success teams to communicate product value.

Key Outcomes (First 90 Days)

+ Ingest and normalize customer and market documents into the data pipeline, generating derivative datasets and foundational knowledge graph assets.

+ Enhance data freshness and coverage by augmenting traditional data sources with automated extraction and AI-based enrichment processes.

+ Launch an initial conversational search experience utilizing embeddings and Boolean search capabilities.

+ Establish a scalable AI model strategy, including evaluation criteria and decision frameworks for future model selection.

+ Define product metrics and quarterly planning processes focused on adoption, answer quality, time-to-insight, data freshness, search effectiveness, and cost-performance optimization.
