Senior Product Manager-AI

Sorenson Communications•Salt Lake City, UT

About The Position

The Senior AI Product Manager drives the development and continuous improvement of our AI-powered translation models, with an initial focus on two-way translation between American Sign Language (ASL) and English, with the potential of extending to additional signed and spoken languages. This role sits at the intersection of applied AI research, product development, and real-world customer impact. You will serve as the critical bridge between our AI scientists and engineers, who build and train the models, and our customer-facing product managers, who surface the use cases and quality signals from the field. You are equally comfortable debating model evaluation frameworks in a research meeting and translating those conversations into clear priorities for go-to-market teams. You have a deep appreciation for the unique linguistic and cultural nuances of signed languages, and you are passionate about building AI systems that are accurate, fair, and genuinely useful to the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing communities we serve.

Requirements

Minimum 4 Year / Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent career experience.
5 years of product management experience, with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML-powered products in production environments.
Strong ability to translate between technical AI/ML concepts and customer-facing product requirements.
Proficiency in defining and analyzing model quality metrics; comfort with concepts such as precision/recall, benchmark evaluation, bias analysis, and A/B testing.
Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex AI topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders and executives.
Deep empathy for users, particularly members of the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing community, and a commitment to building AI that serves underrepresented populations equitably.
Ability to manage ambiguity and drive decisions in a fast-moving research and product environment.
Collaborative, low-ego working style with the confidence to advocate strongly for the right priorities.
Passion for building AI products that are accurate, fair, and meaningfully improve people's lives.
Professional attitude, team player, strong interpersonal communication skills, and able to work across research, engineering, and business departments.
Proficiency with standard productivity tools (Microsoft Office, Confluence, JIRA, or equivalent).

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with data and ML tooling environments (e.g., dashboards, model evaluation platforms, annotation tools) preferred.
