About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior AI Product Manager to build and scale AI-enabled software products across Accordion’s solution portfolio. You will own the AI product vision for how GenAI, agentic systems, and predictive automation reshape our solutions and client workflows, and drive that vision from discovery through production and scaled adoption. Partnering closely with software and AI engineers, Solution leaders, and delivery teams, you’ll translate real customer and consultant needs into prioritized roadmaps, clear requirements, and shipped capabilities with measurable impact. As the product owner for AI features, you’re accountable for product outcomes—ensuring what we build is valuable, usable, reliable, and delivers ROI at scale.

What You’ll Do

Own AI product vision & roadmap

• Define the AI vision per solution, including user problems, workflows, success metrics, and a prioritized product roadmap.
• Identify and validate high-value use cases (copilots, agentic automation, predictive insights), translating them into product bets with KPIs.

Build vs. buy leadership

• Scan the market for GenAI/LLM tools and vendors; run structured evaluations and POCs.
• Craft build/buy/partner recommendations and negotiate technical requirements and integration plans.

Product discovery & delivery with engineering

• Drive end-to-end product development with engineering and design: discovery → PRD → architecture tradeoffs → build → launch → iterate.
• Translate client and consultant needs into clear requirements, APIs, UX flows, and release plans.
• Ensure product quality in production across reliability, latency, accuracy, safety, and cost.

Production GenAI systems

• Lead delivery of real user-facing GenAI capabilities (RAG, agentic workflows, tool/function calling, evaluation harnesses, observability).
• Establish measurement frameworks for model and system performance over time.

Responsible AI & risk

• Partner with governance and security leaders to implement guardrails for safety, privacy, compliance (PII/PHI), bias testing, and auditability.
• Ensure “human-in-the-loop” design where required.

Commercial outcomes & client impact

• Build business cases, pricing/packaging, adoption plans, and ROI tracking for new AI products.
• Support pre-sales, demos, and client executive briefings; drive post-launch adoption and value capture.

Client-facing product leadership

• Lead high-stakes client sessions (CFOs, PE partners, operator teams) to shape AI product direction.
• Confidently guide tradeoffs, push back when needed, and represent Accordion as the AI product leader.

Travel

• Travel to client sites as needed.

Success in the First 6–12 Months

• Launch multiple AI tools, either embedded in core Accordion solutions or with clients, with clear adoption and ROI metrics.
• Stand up a repeatable build-vs-buy evaluation + pilot-to-production playbook.
• Establish AI product KPI dashboards (quality, latency, cost, risk) for all AI features in market.
• Become a trusted product leader to Solutions, Consulting delivery, and the Accordion Intelligence Lab—known for clarity, speed, and technical depth.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years in product leadership or product ownership, including 5+ years building AI-enabled software products in SaaS/enterprise/fintech or equivalent environments.
• Proven record taking AI features from concept to prototype to production and scaled adoption, with clear KPIs and measurable ROI.
• Strong engineering fluency from prior software/AI engineering experience or deeply technical product work; able to drive architecture tradeoffs and execution with senior engineers.
• Production GenAI experience delivering LLM/RAG/agentic systems embedded in real workflows, including evaluation, observability, safety guardrails, and cost/latency optimization.
• Excellent product craft: customer discovery, PRDs, roadmap prioritization, metrics (activation, retention, quality, latency, cost-to-serve), and agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban).
• Executive presence and client leadership: confident guiding senior stakeholders, facilitating tough tradeoffs, and pushing back when needed across practices and geographies.
• Nice to have: familiarity with CFO/finance solutions, PE value creation, healthcare, or industrials; experience with AI governance, prompt safety, bias testing, and FinOps for AI.

Preferred Requirements

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, or equivalent engineering + product shipping experience.
• Product/Agile credentials (PSPO/CSPO, PMI-ACP, SAFe) a plus.

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $170,000 to $225,000 USD + benefits + bonus. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.
