TL;DR · Lead Product Manager, AI Platform

The Lead Product Manager role at the AI Center of Excellence within DX Tech & Digital is an individual contributor position focused on building and scaling Disney’s internal AI Platform. Reporting to the Senior Manager, AI Platform, you will translate stakeholder needs into shipped AI capabilities across various business lines, from discovery through rollout. Key responsibilities include setting technical direction for prototyping standards, driving cross-team alignment with platform engineers and security partners, and mentoring adjacent teams on AI development practices. The ideal candidate has 7+ years of experience in software engineering and product roles, with hands-on production experience in LLM-powered applications, Python programming, and modern AI tooling. This role requires expertise in evaluating and iterating on prototypes to ensure measurable business outcomes while operating independently within a low-structure environment.

What you'll do

  • Take internal stakeholder requests from initial conversation to shipped AI capability end-to-end.
  • Build and scale AI-native workflows on the platform stack, including prompts, agents, and evaluation harnesses.
  • Set technical direction for Product Engineering pod by establishing prototyping standards and shared tooling.
  • Operate independently of standard sprint cycles, making product and architecture decisions in a low-structure environment.
  • Mentor adjacent engineers and PMs on AI prototyping and outcome-driven development practices.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of combined experience in software engineering and product roles with a focus on technical or AI-platform contexts.
  • Production experience with LLM-powered applications, including advanced prompt engineering and evaluation pipelines.
  • Hands-on capability to scope, build, and ship working prototypes end-to-end using Python and modern AI tooling.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous stakeholder requests and deliver working systems directly without a product manager.
  • History of successfully launching products or capabilities from concept to measurable adoption in an enterprise environment.
  • Experience driving cross-team outcomes through influence without direct authority, coordinating with PMs and engineering teams.
  • Strong communication skills for translating AI capability into business outcomes for senior stakeholders.
