About The Position

Ibotta is seeking a Principal PM, AI Enablement to join our team and contribute to our mission to Make Every Purchase Rewarding. In this role, you will own the AI productivity infrastructure for Ibotta’s product organization — building and maintaining the systems, skills, context libraries, and environments that allow product managers to get dramatically more leverage from AI tooling. In addition, you’ll be responsible for building the environment within which the team can increase its AI fluency and effectiveness. This is a high-impact individual contributor role that sits at the intersection of product management, AI tooling, and platform thinking. You are not building product features for customers — you are building the operating system that makes every PM on the team faster, sharper, and more consistent. You will accelerate delivery, improve decision quality, and systematically reduce low-value work across the product org. This position is located in Denver, Colorado as a hybrid position requiring 3 days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Candidates must live in the United States. Not based in Denver? We will offer a relocation bonus to help make your move to the Mile High City a smooth one.

Requirements

8+ years in product management, product operations, or a comparable role with significant experience building internal tools, workflows, or platforms that serve other product teams.
BA/BS in business, technology, or a related field required.
Deep, hands-on AI fluency — not just awareness. You should be an active, daily user of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) and have experience building AI-powered workflows, automations, or integrations.
Experience building and maintaining structured knowledge systems, documentation frameworks, or operational infrastructure for product teams.
Expert systems thinking — you see the connections between templates, context, data access, and skill design, and you can architect an integrated system, not just a collection of tools.
Technically fluent: comfortable with markdown, APIs, dashboards, Jira administration, and light scripting. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you need to build things.
Exceptional communicator who can translate AI capabilities into practical PM workflows and drive adoption through influence, not authority.
Self-directed and ownership-oriented — this role has no direct reports but operates with senior-level influence across the entire product organization and key cross-functional partners (Engineering, Finance, Data Science, Operations).
Measured by outcomes like PM time saved per week, skill library coverage and usage, business case consistency, initiative tracking accuracy, and team AI adoption rates.
Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.

Performance marketing, adtech, or retail media product environments.
Product operations or enablement roles where you built reusable infrastructure for other PMs.
