The role acts as a connector throughout the full product lifecycle-navigating ideation, discovery, delivery, adoption, and iteration.

This position sits within the AI Platform Team inside EJ Labs , focused on building and managing the reusable AI platform capabilities that enable teams across the enterprise to clearly identify, observe, evaluate, and operate AI products through a consistent, standards-based ecosystem, rather than developing one-off or front-end solutions.

What you'll do:

+ Translate business needs into clear and actionable technical requirements for AI Products - reusable AI capabilities.

+ Lead product discovery, validation, and iterative improvement processes with a focus on how AI control & observability products are embedded across many applications, tools, and internal teams.

+ Define and track product success metrics specific to AI control & observability product performance, reusability, adoption, and ongoing monitoring.

+ Conduct research and engage internal customers to inform AI platform capabilities.

+ Ensure responsible AI practices and compliance with regulatory requirements throughout the product lifecycle.

+ Drive the development and delivery of AI platform capabilities, ensuring they are not one-off builds, but reusable, model driven products deployed across the organization.

+ Collaborate with colleagues in EJ Labs, Engineering, Data, Product Management, Experience, and the respective Business and Functional areas teams to test, deploy, and refine new AI platform capabilities and ensure alignment with enterprise AI standards.

+ Communicate product progress, updates, and outcomes to stakeholders across the organization.

+ Conduct market and user research to understand demand for reusable AI capabilities and anticipate model and agent centric enhancements.

+ Monitor and evaluate AI platform capability performance, implementing refinements as needed as part of ongoing product lifecycle management and governance.

+ Actively shape the definition and evolution of product AI capability vision and strategy in partnership with business and technology stakeholders to drive measurable business impact and outcome-oriented delivery.

+ Collaborate with product leadership, delivery partners, and enabling teams to support resource coordination, delivery execution, and risk management across delivery teams.
