Technical Product Marketing- Principal (AI/ML)

Guidewire Software • San Mateo, CA

22h • $179,000 - $269,000

About The Position

As the AI Technical Product Marketing Principal, you will drive the positioning and messaging for how Guidewire’s AI Assistants, Agents, and Agentic Framework turn our systems of record into systems of intelligence. Your work will give them a concrete, defensible path to deploy insurance‑grade AI at scale.

Requirements

• AI / Agentic Technical Depth 5+ years working directly with AI/ML products or platforms (e.g., LLMs, RAG pipelines, vector stores, agent frameworks, or MLOps/LLMOps tooling).
• Deep understanding of the progression from predictive analytics → generative AI → agentic AI and multi‑agent systems.
• Clear, opinionated view on when to use autonomous agents vs. supervised assistants vs. deterministic automation, including appropriate HITL patterns in regulated environments.
• Technical & Architectural Fluency Comfort explaining concepts such as but not limited to data residency, tenant isolation, observability, inference latency, RBAC, and zero‑trust architectures in business language.
• Ability to read and discuss reference architectures and sequence diagrams with engineering, then distill them into simple, visual narratives for executives.
• Executive‑Ready Communication Proven ability to present to and influence C‑level audiences (CIO, CDO, CTO, business executives), synthesizing technical detail into sharp, defensible points of view.
• Strong writing skills across formats: from a one‑page “why now” brief, to a deep‑dive whitepaper, to a launch keynote deck.
• Product Marketing Core Skills 15+ years in B2B enterprise product marketing, technical marketing, solutions marketing, or adjacent roles, with meaningful time spent on data and/or AI/ML offerings.
• Demonstrated experience building messaging, positioning, launch plans, and enablement for technical products, especially those sold to IT and technical buyers.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, MLOps / LLMOps, or data platforms (e.g., designing workflows with RAG, vector stores, or orchestration frameworks).
• Hands-on experience partnering with engineering or data science to market/sell AI‑powered capabilities (e.g., retrieval architectures, prompts/guardrails, evaluation frameworks, safety/monitoring pipelines) into production.
• Experience launching or supporting AI‑driven features or products in regulated industries (financial services, insurance, healthcare, public sector).
• Ideal candidate has an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, &/or Data Science, and hands on development experience in the past

Responsibilities

• Define and continuously refine the Guidewire AI story and connect this narrative to key offerings so the field, customers, and partners hear one coherent AI story across products and releases.
• Lead audience specific narratives such as: CDOs (Data & Governance), CIOs (Orchestration & Scale), Business Leaders (Claims / Underwriting / Actuarial), Developers & Solution Architects
• Partner with Product Management and Engineering to turn roadmap and architecture into value‑based narratives, first‑call decks, sales plays, and enablement for customer‑facing teams.
• Lead Competitive Positioning: Perform technical teardowns of competitive solutions (horizontal copilots, generic LLM wrappers, and point solutions), contrasting them with Guidewire’s embedded, domain-specific, insurance-grade approach, and maintain sharp competitive positioning and enablement (battlecards, objection-handling guides, POV slides) to help sales and CS teams win AI-influenced deals.
• Turn concepts like RAG (retrieval‑augmented generation), tool/agent orchestration, evaluation & testing, knowledge graphs, and policy‑aware routing into accessible, outcome-oriented stories for technical and executive audiences.
• Create high‑credibility assets such as whitepapers, technical briefs, reference architectures, FAQs, social content, and executive decks, explaining how our AI works and why it’s designed that way; support analysts, media, and events with clear narratives and visuals.

• All full-time positions or part-time roles working 30 hours or more a week at Guidewire are eligible for benefits that support their health and well-being including health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, and a company sponsored retirement plan.
• In addition, some roles may be eligible for the annual company bonus plan, commissions, and/or long term incentive awards which are contingent on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, company and employee performance.
