About The Position

As a Forward Deployed Product Manager, AI Agent, you will create, deploy and optimize AI Agents that transform our customers’ businesses and delight their customers. This highly cross-functional and customer-facing role blends product thinking, a nose for value, and project leadership with senior customer executives. At the end of the day, you own each AI Agent and the outcomes they drive for our customers, and you take that personally. You are a creative, pragmatic problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments, rolls up your sleeves to build, and excels at turning ambiguity into execution. In this role, you’ll partner with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who will support the build, integrations and optimization to make the AI Agent product successful. You’ll also work closely with product and engineering, providing a tight feedback loop and custom tooling that will shape the future of our platform.

Experience leading complex deployments, owning customer relationships (including senior customer stakeholders), and working cross-functionally
