Customer Centric:

• Connect frequentlywith internal customers in Data Science and AI application teams to gain a deep understanding of their day-to-day needs and business goals, in addition to validating solutions with them for feedback in product discovery. 
• Ensure we are solving business problems with the proper balance between delivering on immediate customer needs while also building capabilities that will deliver mid/long-term success. 
• Evangelize to internal AI application teams about the benefits of adopting AI platform components and tooling – be an expert at explaining the “why”.

• Act as AI platform SME when external customers have detailed questions about our approach to building and supporting AI products in RelativityOne. 

Product Leadership:

• Own the product roadmap and backlog for your products, with a focus on outcomes we want to achieve over features we want to ship. Solicit feedback from internal SMEs, Engineering, Data Science, Product Managers, and others to drive confidence in decision-making. 
• Own the strategy and vision for your products, ensuring that we are maturing quarterly in each aspect of the ML Ops lifecycle to drive Data Science experimentation and model delivery at scale.

• Partner with AI service providers like Microsoft to evaluate AI offerings and lead planning on procurement. 
• Possess and apply an in-depth understanding of our AI product suite, giving confidence to teams that our supporting AI technology is informed by the needs of our end users and the strategy of our AI application teams.

Technical Leadership

• Work closely with your Engineering counterparts to ensure that the team delivers a product that meets our scalability, reliability, usability, observability, efficiency and performance standards.
• Be well versed in technical aspects of ML Operations and broader AI tooling such that you can clearly communicate with development team members and make informed decisions about your product. We run an Azure stack with Prefect, Spark, and Databricks but welcome experience with alternative tooling. 
• Possess the technical acumen needed to understand the challenges faced by our internal customers, including the root cause of production incidents such that you can propose effective solutions for them alongside Engineering. 
• Cultivate a deep understanding of generative AI technology and large language models with an ability to lead technical conversations about Relativity’s use, implementation, decision-making process, and more.

Product Implementation

• Break down large projects into iterative releases. Create and share product implementation plans with measurable results for each milestone.
• Anticipate the need to create alignment with cross-functional teams to solve problems together.
• Help the team to translate validated designs and analysis into story cards with acceptance criteria.
