About the role
Senior product leadership role focused on building Attentive's autonomous Marketing Agent, an AI-native system delivering 1:1 marketing experiences at scale. Owns product strategy and execution for the autonomous agent, collaborating with engineering, AI/ML, research, design, data science, GTM, and customers, with co-ownership of revenue for the product.
Responsibilities
- Define the product thesis, strategy, and north-star outcomes for Attentive's autonomous Marketing Agent. Make clear what we are building, for whom, why it will win, and what we will deliberately not build.
- Work directly with customers and internal experts to understand how marketing decisions are made today, where automation can create leverage, and where the product must earn confidence before it acts.
- Turn an ambitious, ambiguous opportunity into a focused plan: customer problems, product principles, roadmap, sequencing, investment choices, and the decisions required to make progress.
- Own the end-to-end agent experience and operating loop - understanding a customer's business and goals, forming a plan, taking action, measuring results, learning, and improving
- Partner deeply with engineering and AI/ML teams on model strategy, data and feedback loops, tool use, retrieval, orchestration, evaluation, reliability, latency, cost, and the platform foundations required to make the product real at scale.
- Establish a rigorous system for evaluating the agent. Define the metrics, experiments, and failure analysis that tell us how much and why it is genuinely improving customer outcomes.
- Lead across boundaries. Clarify ownership, resolve disagreements, surface risks early, and build alignment without waiting for someone else to solve the problem for you.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in product management or a closely related product leadership role, including substantial ownership of AI/ML-powered products
- A senior product leader who has shipped consequential AI/ML products and can connect technical possibility to customer value and business outcomes
- Experience leading 0-to-1 products in a setting where the right answer was not obvious and the path changed as you learned; experience with agents, decision systems, or applied generative AI is especially relevant
- Enough technical fluency to engage credibly with researchers and engineers on model behavior, evaluation, data quality, system architecture, tradeoffs, and failure modes
- Strong product judgment and a demonstrated habit of using customer evidence, experiments, and honest metrics to make decisions
- Ability to operate as a mini-GM of a product area: set direction, create clarity, communicate directly, and take responsibility for outcomes across functions
