About the Role

You will own product outcomes from problem definition through deployment and adoption, working side-by-side with engineers and client stakeholders. This role is execution-focused—shaping solutions, making tradeoffs, and ensuring what gets built is both technically sound and actively used.

Translate business needs into clear requirements, backlogs, and priorities
Partner with engineering to shape technical solutions and tradeoffs
Lead Agile delivery from concept to production
Deliver AI-powered features (e.g., copilots, workflows, automation systems)
Apply AI across the SDLC to improve velocity and quality
Drive client engagement, pilots, and adoption
Track success metrics (e.g., adoption, cycle time, business outcomes)

What We’re Looking For

Product leader who enjoys building with engineers
Comfortable in fast-paced, client-facing environments
Focused on adoption and real-world impact
Able to balance business and technical tradeoffs

Qualifications

Required:

5–8+ years in product management, consulting, or related roles
Experience delivering software products in client environments
Strong experience with Agile delivery and engineering collaboration
Strong communication across technical and non-technical audiences
Willingness to travel (25–50%)

Technical & AI Fluency:

Ability to engage on architecture and technical tradeoffs
Experience with AI/LLMs in products (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI)
Familiarity with AI-assisted development and SDLC tooling

Preferred:

Experience with workflow automation, data platforms, or operational systems
Prior forward deployed or consulting product experience
Track record of driving adoption and measurable outcomes

Why This Role

Own products end-to-end—from idea to adoption
Build and deploy real systems in real environments
Apply AI in practical, high-impact ways
Help shape how West Monroe delivers AI-enabled solutions at scale
