This is a high-impact leadership role for a product builder with a proven track record of creating category-defining products, operating with urgency, and driving rapid iteration at scale. Reporting directly to the President and Chief AI Officer, this leader sits at the intersection of engineering, data, AI/ML, and customer operations-responsible for defining product vision, translating real-world intelligence workflows into scalable solution offerings, and driving execution across the full product lifecycle. This role spans three integrated domains: Product Roadmap & AI-Native Architecture: You will define an AI-native product roadmap that guides platform architecture, data unification efforts, and engineering investment. This includes shaping a forward-looking product vision that integrates LLMs, agents, multimodal models, retrieval systems, and advanced evaluation frameworks. Your roadmap direction will directly inform engineering pathways, platform modernization priorities, and cloud-to-edge enablement. Product Architecture, Experience & Requirements: You will design modern, intuitive, AI-first user experiences and define technically credible, deeply detailed requirements that enable Engineering to deliver with speed and predictability. You will partner with Engineering and AI/ML teams to shape the AI architecture and LLM Ops infrastructure required for agentic and generative AI product capabilities. You will ensure product designs support cloud-native and future edge-deployable solutions, addressing mobile device constraints, offline workflows, and real-world mission environments. Your work will bring clarity and structure to complex problems while ensuring usability, performance, and scalability. Product Analytics, Instrumentation & Outcomes: You will define-and work with Engineering to operationalize-a robust product instrumentation plan spanning behavioral telemetry, user intent mapping, AI evaluation metrics, churn indicators, and value realization. You will develop a data-driven operating rhythm that connects user behavior to design decisions, roadmap prioritization, and customer outcomes. This includes shaping the analytics and telemetry required to monitor feature performance and cost efficiency. You will ensure every product is measurable, explainable, and continuously improving. Across all domains, you will build and lead a high-performing product organization defined by ownership, urgency, clarity, and close partnership with Sales to ensure the voice of the customer is embedded in product roadmap and execution. You will work in lockstep with Engineering to operate as a unified, outcome-driven system. You will define product roadmaps that prioritize platform investments, enterprise-grade data roadmap, breakthrough AI capabilities, and edge deployment readiness. You will bring measurable impact through disciplined execution, prioritization clarity, technical depth, and a relentless focus on building mission-grade products at scale. This role will be based in our Reston, VA or Somerville, MA office. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1.
