About The Position

The Platform Product Manager independently owns defined capabilities within the Knowledge & Semantic Platform, supporting AI-powered products and consistent intelligence delivery across the organization. The role partners with engineering and internal clients to define and evolve platform capabilities including ontology, knowledge graphs, metadata, entity relationships, taxonomy, and semantic models. The manager maintains the backlog and near-term roadmap for assigned capabilities and works in an AI-first product delivery model, using AI tools to accelerate discovery, requirements development, communication, validation, and delivery support.

Requirements

At least 2 years of relevant experience is required.
Strong analytical, communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive adoption, reuse, quality, and measurable business value across platform capabilities.
Demonstrated experience using AI tools such as Codex/ChatGPT, Claude Code/Co-Work, GitHub Copilot/Copilot Studio, and emerging agentic coding environments to improve product discovery, requirements development, documentation, analysis, and communication.
Experience partnering with engineering and data teams to translate business concepts into scalable semantic models, entity relationships, and reusable platform capabilities.

Nice To Haves

A relevant degree is preferred.
Typically possesses 3–5 years of relevant experience in product management, product ownership, enterprise platforms, knowledge management, semantic technologies, AI-enabled products, or platform enablement.
Experience with ontology, knowledge graphs, taxonomy, semantic modeling, metadata management, graph databases, or related knowledge management technologies.
Familiarity with AI-enabled applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), large language models, or other AI technologies that use structured knowledge and semantic data.
Understanding of data stewardship, metadata governance, healthcare data concepts, and semantic consistency principles.

Responsibilities

Own the product backlog and near-term roadmap for assigned Knowledge & Semantic Platform capabilities, including ontology, knowledge graph, taxonomy, metadata management, semantic modeling, and related platform services.
Conduct discovery with internal clients to understand business concepts, workflow needs, data relationships, AI use cases, and opportunities to improve semantic consistency and intelligence delivery.
Define product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, semantic models, entity relationships, metadata standards, prompt and context artifacts, and validation approaches for scalable AI-driven solutions.
Partner with engineering leads, architects, AI Delivery, data engineering, security, and design teams to translate business concepts into reusable semantic platform capabilities.
Balance delivery priorities across internal client needs, engineering capacity, architecture direction, governance requirements, data stewardship practices, and emerging AI-assisted development opportunities.
Collaborate with teams using agentic coding tools, AI-assisted development environments, and AI-supported testing, documentation, and validation workflows to improve delivery quality and speed.
Support implementation planning, release readiness, documentation, validation, and adoption activities while promoting consistent semantic standards and reusable platform capabilities.
Use metrics, operational insights, client feedback, and AI-supported synthesis to refine backlog priorities and improve ontology, metadata quality, semantic relationships, and platform adoption.
Create guidance, demonstrations, communications, and enablement resources to help internal teams use semantic platform capabilities, knowledge graph assets, and AI-first development practices effectively.
Identify opportunities to improve metadata quality, semantic consistency, data stewardship, self-service, and reusable knowledge assets that enhance AI-enabled products and retrieval-augmented generation capabilities.
