AI Product Manager

Location

Hybrid – Arlington, Virginia

Employment Type

Full-time

BizFirst is assisting our client with the hiring of an AI Product Manager to lead the product strategy and delivery of AI-powered internal tools and capabilities. This role sits at the center of the organization’s transformation effort – translating business needs into clear AI product roadmaps, driving cross-functional delivery, and ensuring that the AI systems being built actually get used, adopted, and measured for impact.

Our client is a mid-market professional services organization that is actively rethinking how it designs and executes its core business operations through artificial intelligence and automation. The company is building a dedicated AI capability to embed machine learning and generative AI into its most critical internal workflows – from decision support and process automation to real-time analytics and intelligent document processing.

What will you do

The ideal candidate has 5–8 years of product management experience, with at least 2–3 years working directly on AI or ML-powered products. You understand how AI systems are built well enough to have substantive technical conversations with engineers and data scientists, and you have strong instincts for how to scope, prioritize, and communicate in environments where the product is still being defined. Experience leading AI product efforts in an internal tooling or enterprise context is a significant advantage.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap for the organization’s AI initiatives, working with business stakeholders and technical teams to define priorities, scope, and success metrics.
• Translate operational pain points and business requirements into clear, actionable product specifications for ML engineers, data scientists, and designers.
• Lead discovery and requirements gathering for AI use cases, including user research, workflow analysis, and feasibility assessment with the technical team.
• Drive delivery across cross-functional AI product squads, keeping projects on track, surfacing blockers, and managing stakeholder expectations.
• Define and track KPIs for deployed AI capabilities, using outcome data to guide iteration and prioritization decisions.
• Build and maintain a structured feedback loop between end users and the AI development team to ensure products solve real problems effectively.
• Develop business cases for new AI investments, including cost-benefit analysis, adoption forecasts, and risk assessments.
• Serve as an internal advocate for responsible AI practices, ensuring products are designed with appropriate oversight and auditability.

Requirements

US Citizen or Permanent Resident authorized to work in the United States.

Experience

5–8 years in product management with a minimum of 2–3 years leading AI or ML-related product work.

Product Execution

Demonstrated track record of taking AI or data products from concept through launch and adoption in an enterprise context.

Communication

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate complex AI concepts for executive and non-technical audiences.

Stakeholder Management

Experience aligning diverse stakeholders around a product strategy, navigating competing priorities, and driving decisions with incomplete information.

Preferred

Hands-on experience with generative AI products, LLM-powered tools, or intelligent process automation.

Background in professional services, consulting, or enterprise software.

Familiarity with AI ethics frameworks, model governance practices, or responsible AI principles.

Experience defining and managing OKRs or similar goal frameworks for AI product delivery.
