Senior Principal Inbound Product Manager; CRM Voice AI Job Woodbridge Township area,Woodbridge New Jersey USA,Software Development

Position: Senior Principal Inbound Product Manager (CRM Voice AI)
Location: Woodbridge

We work in pods - small, dedicated teams embedded with a single enterprise customer, building their voice agents from first call to self-sufficiency. A pod owns the full lifecycle: agent shadowing, conversation design, build, production go-live, and the handoff that makes the customer self-sufficient so the pod can move on to the next one
Each pod pairs forward-deployed engineers with a product manager who owns both the customer outcome and the product learning that comes from it
Every PM on this team runs at least one pod directly and has visibility across others
You’re in the customer’s world - on their calls, in their systems, solving their problems - while simultaneously shaping what the product becomes. The learnings from your pods feed directly into the platform roadmap and into repeatable, productized assets that scale beyond any single customer
You run one pod directly - one of our most complex customer engagements - and float across two others, providing product direction and unblocking teams. But the pod work is only half the job
Your primary technical focus is the conversational experience itself: dialog quality, turn-taking, interruption handling, barge-in behavior, and end pointing. You collaborate directly with the platform voice team on voice pipeline innovation, the low-latency infrastructure that makes a voice agent feel like a conversation rather than a bot reading a script. When the platform team is making stack decisions about real-time streaming, LLM orchestration, or voice-to-voice model integration, you’re in the room with production customer data and real-world edge cases that no one else has
You also own an industry vertical. As we scale across customers, you evaluate which patterns, intents, and conversation flows can be productized into out-of-the-box voice content for a specific industry. You’re turning one-off wins into repeatable assets, and you have the customer exposure to know which abstractions actually hold
You’re not choosing between startup speed and enterprise scale. You get both. This team ships voice AI in production with real enterprise customers, with the same urgency and ownership you’d find at a startup, backed by a platform that supports 85% of the Fortune 500
You have a direct seat at the platform table, influencing voice infrastructure decisions with data from your own deployments. This role puts you in a customer’s contact center debugging a live voice agent one day and shaping platform architecture decisions the next. That combination is rare, and it’s why this team exists
