Requirements

8+ years in product management, with specific domain experience in AI (e.g., Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, or LLM-based systems).
Proven track record of launching successful products from concept to pilot to deployment in enterprise environments.
Experience working with technical teams and understanding APIs, integrations, and enterprise data architectures.
Strong analytical skills; comfortable synthesizing complex feedback and translating it into clear product requirements.

Experience facilitating workshops, focus groups, and user testing.
Ability to work independently and lead cross-functional teams in a hybrid office environment (San Jose, RTP, or Seattle).
Experience in building privacy-forward and trustworthy experiences.
Strategic vision with a hands-on approach to execution and metric-driven product management.

Responsibilities

Develop and refine the vision, strategy, and roadmap for enterprise AI solutions, aligning with stakeholder needs and Cisco’s business goals.
Evaluate feature requests and product decisions for their impact on the broader Enterprise platform ecosystem, not just a single surface, and push back on point solutions that create long-term fragmentation.
Lead the requirements gathering process; synthesize user problems and solution ideas from focus groups and other sources into clear, actionable Product Requirement Documents (PRDs).
Work closely with engineering, design, security, legal, and business teams to ensure successful product delivery and compliance with privacy/security standards.
Build alignment with engineering leads, adjacent product teams, and platform stakeholders through data, narrative, and relationship-building rather than authority.
Advocate for automation features that address high-impact workflows and integrate with complex enterprise tools (e.g., Webex, Outlook, SharePoint, Jira).
Facilitate user focus groups, synthesize feedback, and iterate on prototypes to ensure solutions meet real-world needs.
Define indicators for pilots and user testing; analyze data to advise product improvements and drive adoption.
