- Hands‑on experience with or exposure to platforms such as Informatica, Salesforce Data Cloud, Azure Dataverse, or similar enterprise data solutions.
- Strong understanding of data and AI architecture concepts, including relational and NoSQL data stores, data modeling, metadata management, APIs, event streaming, and real‑time processing.
- Experience working with AI and ML‑enabled systems, such as intelligent matching, recommendations, classification, or decisioning.
- Familiarity with AI agents, orchestration frameworks, or agent‑like architectures that combine data, reasoning, and action.
- Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern SaaS delivery models.
- Familiarity with data governance, security, privacy, and compliance requirements in enterprise environments.
- Ability to read technical designs, engage in architectural trade‑off discussions, and challenge assumptions constructively.
- Preferred Skills & Experience
- Prior experience building or scaling AI‑driven data platforms, CDPs, or MDM solutions with embedded intelligence.
- Exposure to generative AI, LLM‑based systems, vector search, or hybrid transactional/analytical platforms.
- Experience working in teams that leverage AI‑assisted development, rapid prototyping, and "vibe coding" approaches.
- Demonstrated executive‑level storytelling: ability to frame strategy, trade‑offs, and investment asks in a crisp narrative for senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders.
- Experience leading executive readouts (e.g., QBRs/MBRs), preparing CEO/CPO/CTO briefings, and influencing decision‑makers through clear written docs and compelling presentations.
- Background as a software engineer, data engineer, or architect before transitioning into product management.
- Experience defining data models and APIs consumed by AI agents, decision engines, or autonomous workflows.
- Nice to have: experience engaging external audiences (analysts, partners, conferences) to communicate product strategy and platform differentiation.
Who You Are:
- A senior‑level product manager with a strong technical foundation and a passion for building intelligent, enterprise‑grade data and AI platforms.
