Chicago, IL: Hybrid work from home – 3 days WFH, 2 days onsite in the loop
Summary:
The Lead Product Manager, will be leading software product strategy, and overseeing execution, specifically related to projects around home grown Enterprise AI Tools and 3rd party vendor software – we like to take hybrid strategies of buying software, and customizing heavily from there, so candidates that have experience driving packaged software iteration would be a big plus. AI is relatively new for us, so you'll be in on the ground floor and have the opportunity to make a significant impact.
While AI experience is a nice to have, the core of what we're looking for who can lead full life cycle product management, including tracking post-launch metrics, and iterating to optimize based on production data. You'll be driving a culture shift of more structured backlog management, grooming, Jira, optimizing Agile sprint processes, etc. as we're looking to transform the AI team to a proper tech organization inside of a larger professional services firm. So we're looking for a true Agile Product Leader, more than anything. If this sounds like you, apply today!
