• Establish the governance framework: tool selection criteria, security policies, cost controls, acceptable-use policies, and compliance requirements.
• Develop the citizen developer program - enabling non-engineers to build AI-powered automations and workflows without central team bottlenecks.
• Create and maintain the measurement framework: adoption metrics, productivity KPIs, ROI tracking, and time-to-value analysis per use case.
• Own the product backlog for the internal AI platform (AI gateway, model routing, prompt libraries, tool integrations, self-service infrastructure).

• Manage the multi-tool strategy (Claude, Copilot, Codex, Gemini) including vendor relationships, licensing, and integration architecture.
• Design training and enablement programs tailored to each user persona (developer, PM, operations, leadership).
• Build an internal community of practice - AI champions, office hours, showcases, shared prompt libraries, and best-practice documentation.
• Remove adoption friction through onboarding flows, self-service tooling, documentation, and tiered support channels.
• Track and close the gap between tool access and actual productive usage - drive active engagement, not just provisioning.
• Implement cost controls and usage monitoring across AI services (model routing, token budgets, department chargeback models).
• Partner with Legal, Security, and Compliance on data handling policies, IP protection, and regulatory requirements.

• 8+ years in product management or product ownership, with at least 3 years focused on internal tools, developer platforms, or enterprise productivity.
• Demonstrated experience driving adoption across large, distributed organizations (1,000+ people across multiple geographies and time zones).
• Track record of building self-service platforms that scale without linear team growth.
• Experience managing product backlogs and cross-functional delivery in Agile environments., * Hands-on experience with AI/ML products - you’ve shipped AI-powered tools or managed AI adoption programs at enterprise scale.
• Strong understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations, prompt engineering, and AI tool evaluation.
• Familiarity with the AI coding assistant landscape (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Codex) and enterprise deployment patterns.
• Ability to hold technical conversations with ML engineers and evaluate build-vs-buy tradeoffs for AI infrastructure.
