Senior Product Manager leading ML Modeling & Platform products at , focusing on AI and machine learning infrastructure for marketing automation.

О компании

's AI & Analytics pillar is building the intelligence layer behind the product — models that optimize send times, predict churn, surface product recommendations, and power the agentic experiences that help marketers run their business autonomously. With over 200,000+ customers, billions of consumer profiles, and hundreds of billions of messages and conversion events, has the data and scale to build world-class AI and machine learning products.
The ML Platform team is the engine that makes all of that possible. Every model that ships at — whether it's predicting the best moment to send an email or powering a Marketing Agent recommendation — runs on infrastructure this team owns. That includes training pipelines (built on Ray), experiment tracking and model registries (MLflow), inference serving infrastructure, feature pipelines, and emerging workflow orchestration tooling (Prefect). As leans harder into agentic products and generative AI, the demands on this infrastructure are accelerating — and so is the team's impact.
This PM role is embedded in Palo Alto alongside our ML engineering org. You'll have the kind of proximity to your engineering team that most ML PMs only read about.

Обязанности

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own both what 's ML models do and the platform that makes building them possible. That's a deliberate pairing: the best ML PM at this stage isn't someone who thinks exclusively about model quality or exclusively about infrastructure tooling — it's someone who can reason across both, connecting platform investment to model outcomes and model outcomes to customer impact.
On the modeling side, you'll own the roadmap for 's core predictive models — smart send time, audience optimization, product recommendations, and churn prediction — as well as the AI-assisted content and agent capabilities that are growing in importance. You'll define what quality means for each model family, set the evaluation frameworks, and work with ML engineers and data scientists to ensure improvements compound over time.
On the platform side, you'll own the roadmap for the internal infrastructure that every ML team at builds on: DART (our Ray-based offline ML job platform), MLflow, model serving, feature pipelines, and Prefect. Your job is to make 's ML engineers faster, safer, and more confident shipping models to production — and to make sure the platform stays ahead of, not behind, the pace of our AI ambitions.
This is a highly technical role. You'll be the only PM on the team, embedded with engineering in Palo Alto, and you'll need to earn credibility by speaking the language — not by knowing how to code, but by knowing enough about distributed training, inference tradeoffs, and ML developer experience to make good calls and ask the right questions.

Требования

You have 5+ years of product management experience, ideally owning ML, AI, or data platform products in a production environment — not just products that use AI as a feature
You have working knowledge of ML systems — training pipelines, model serving, experiment tracking, feature stores, or related infrastructure — and understand the tradeoffs involved in building and operating them at scale
You know how to connect internal platform investments to customer and business outcomes, and can translate "we improved training throughput by 40%" into a product story leadership and go-to-market partners actually care about
You're comfortable being the only PM in a highly technical room — you know when to drive decisions, when to defer to engineers, and how to build credibility without needing to be the most technical person there
You think in terms of systems and tradeoffs — model quality, inference latency, training cost, developer velocity — and can make well-reasoned prioritization decisions when they conflict
You can balance long-term platform investments with short-term product needs, and know when to build, buy, or defer
You communicate clearly and can translate complex ML and infrastructure concepts into business impact for both technical and non-technical audiences
You have a track record of moving roadmaps and priorities across ML, data science, infrastructure, and product teams without direct authority
