Director, Product Management - Agentic App Suite

Zeta Global•San Francisco, CA

3d•$190,000 - $210,000

About The Position

Zeta is undergoing a fundamental transformation with Athena - our AI engine - at the core. AthenaOS, the operating system that powers Athena, is evolving Zeta into a modular, AI-native platform delivering a suite of “Impossible Products”, including the next generation of Agentic Applications. We are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead the strategy, architecture, and governance of the Agentic Apps Framework and the ecosystem of certified applications built on AthenaOS. This leader will define how applications are created, managed, moderated, certified, and experienced across the Zeta platform. This role sits at the intersection of AI, platform architecture, governance, and enterprise application design and will define foundational patterns for years to come.

Requirements

10+ years of Product Management experience with deep focus on platforms, operating systems, ecosystems, or AI-driven application frameworks
Demonstrated ability to define governance, certification, or compliance systems at scale
Strong architectural intuition and systems thinking
Experience collaborating closely with AI/ML teams on model interfaces, guardrails, or agentic workflows
Excellent communication and leadership skills with proven cross-functional influence

Responsibilities

Define the strategic direction for how agentic applications operate within AthenaOS, shaping standards for how apps are discovered, orchestrated, navigated, integrated, and governed across the platform.
Lead the OS-level constructs that underpin all applications in Athena - including application lifecycle standards, cross-application orchestration patterns, navigation, layout, and experience primitives, role and access inheritance models, and foundational consistency across the entire suite of apps.
Ensure all apps - human-built or AI-generated - adhere to a unified, enterprise-grade experience.
Architect and operate an application governance model, including application certification criteria, moderation and review workflows, risk, compliance, and privacy boundaries, enterprise-grade safety, isolation, and resource-governance standards, and tooling and processes for app evaluation, approval, and escalation.
Establish the rules and systems that safeguard the AthenaOS ecosystem.
Define and steward the reusable building blocks required to create high-quality apps, including modular capability primitives (data, intelligence, activation, workflows), multi-app UX patterns and interaction models, enterprise-wide design language and component systems, security and privacy guardrails (“shields”), and predictable APIs and integration patterns.
Partner with Athena AI teams to define how applications are assembled, extended, or generated through LLMs, including model context protocol integration, representations of app primitives suitable for AI reasoning, guardrails for safely generated apps, and human-in-the-loop validation and automated compliance checks.
Partner with engineering, design, security, privacy, infrastructure, AI research, and GTM leaders to drive cohesive execution.
Influence executive-level product strategy and ensure alignment across the entire Athena initiative.
