About The Position

International is undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to becoming a provider of complete and sustainable transport solutions. As part of this journey, we are investing heavily in digital capabilities, data products, and AI-enabled tools. MyInternational – Dealer is a key component of this ecosystem, enabling our dealers and service teams with smarter, more proactive, and more efficient workflows. We have an exciting opportunity for a Lead Product Owner – AI & Service Workflow Intelligence. This role sits at the intersection of Product, UX, and hands-on AI development, and is responsible for shaping how AI-powered service leads, recommendations, and workflow guidance are generated, prioritized, and experienced within the Digital Dealer ecosystem. The goal is to help Service Advisors and dealer teams operate more proactively, make better decisions, and reduce manual effort through practical, usable AI solutions. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work within a cross-functional agile team as part of the Dealer Digitalization organization. You will collaborate closely with users, designers, engineers, data scientists, and business stakeholders to identify high-value opportunities and turn them into real, production-ready capabilities. This is a hybrid “builder” role: you will help define what to build, shape how it should work from a user and workflow perspective, and actively contribute to building solutions—particularly within the Palantir Foundry platform. We are looking for someone with a strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and a mindset of “we may not have done this before—let’s figure it out and learn quickly.”
