Salsify

19h•$162,000 - $180,000

About The Position

As a Senior Product Manager on an AI Innovation team, you'll own the vision and strategy for a body of work at the intersection of AI and our core PXM platform. This is a building role: you're expected to move fast from idea to shipped value, experimenting and prototypes alongside the team. You'll frame strategic options for leadership, run discovery on problems that don't have an obvious answer yet, and partner closely with your engineering and design counterparts (your "trio") to bring things to life. You'll also build credibility with Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Solutions Advisory, Support, and R&D so your releases initiates are understood and adopted across the org. This role sits within Salsify’s AI Innovation group, so genuine curiosity about AI matters, along with a track record of turning emerging technology into meaningful customer value.

Requirements

5-8 years of product management experience, or equivalent experience owning outcomes in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment
Demonstrated product judgment: you can frame strategy, weigh trade-offs, and defend a point of view to senior leaders
Hands-on AI fluency: direct experience with LLMs, agents, and AI tools. You have real experience building AI products, leveraging AI to optimize your output and promoting AI ways of working across your team.
Experimental discipline: comfortable defining hypotheses, setting success metrics, running pilots, and making clear, data-driven calls from the results
A track record of leading discovery with technical audiences and distilling ambiguous feedback into a clear plan
Experience prioritizing across competing time horizons, with the judgment to say no to work that doesn't serve the objective
Communication that bridges audiences: equally effective with engineering teams and business stakeholders, and comfortable presenting to both internally and externally
A history of landing cross-team or cross-company initiatives that moved a company-level metric
Resilience and a bias to action in ambiguous situations, with the ability to create clarity for the people around you
