TL;DR · Principal IT Product Manager

As a Principal IT Product Manager, you will join the team to lead the strategic vision and transformation of the post-sales customer ecosystem. You will manage the entire customer journey, from initial purchase through deployment, consumption, and ongoing technical support. Your primary responsibility involves breaking down siloed operational tracks to architect AI-enabled, agentic solutions that simplify processes and accelerate value delivery. You will design systems where autonomous or human-in-the-loop AI agents utilize generative conversational AI to improve how customers interact with products. Key responsibilities include mapping the customer lifecycle, designing "Agent-Native" architectures, and orchestrating telemetry for predictive support. You will work with Salesforce, Gainsight, Clarizen, and custom applications while utilizing LLMs and low-code builders to create functional prototypes. This role solves complex problems in entitlement management, provisioning, and proactive account health monitoring within the post-sales domain.

What you'll do

  • Map the end-to-end post-sales customer journey from initial purchase through deployment, consumption, and technical support.
  • Architect a unified application product roadmap across Salesforce, Gainsight, Clarizen, and custom internal systems.
  • Design and deploy autonomous or human-in-the-loop AI agents to automate complex service and lifecycle tasks.
  • Integrate generative conversational AI into customer-facing and internal touchpoints to provide proactive experiences.
  • Analyze real-time product telemetry data to identify patterns in support trends and proactively prioritize platform fixes.
  • Build functional prototypes using AI-assisted tools to validate data flows and API logic before engineering handoff.
  • Manage the full product lifecycle by writing precise epics and user stories with an AI-first perspective.
  • Establish and monitor KPIs for AI-powered features, including model performance, data quality, and agent accuracy.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of product management experience in enterprise technology, IT Post-Sales, or Customer Experience domains.
  • Proven track record of launching scalable, AI-powered solutions.
  • Demonstrated experience tracking a customer’s post-sales journey across entitlement management, consumption, activation, provisioning, success, and support.
  • Ability to reconstruct simplified architectures from raw data flows using first-principles logic.
  • Deep expertise in Agentic AI systems, including autonomous agents, human-in-the-loop validation, and generative conversational frameworks.
  • Proven experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise platforms like Salesforce, Gainsight, Clarizen, or custom applications.
  • Exceptional communication skills to articulate complex AI agent logic to both technical teams and executive leadership.
  • Proficiency in Agile/Scrum methodologies within an AI or advanced data development context.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
