SD, PM-Agentic Core Platform 

We’re looking for a Senior Director, PM- Agentic Platform to drive core capabilities underpinning our agentic stack. This is a player-coach role: you’ll lead a team of senior technical PMs while staying deeply hands-on, writing specs, driving architectural decisions, and partnering directly with engineering at every level of the stack. This is not a role for a generalist — it’s for someone equally at home debating prompt chaining strategy with an engineer and presenting a multi-year roadmap to a C-suite. 

What you get to do in this role:  

• Lead a high-performing PM team. Recruit, mentor, and manage senior technical PMs; set the standard for rigor and technical depth. 

• Own the roadmap. Define and drive multi-quarter strategy for core platform components and align with engineering on sequencing and tradeoffs. 

• Be the technical anchor between PM and engineering. Partner directly with engineering leads and architects; drive API design, framework architecture, and data model decisions with the same fluency as your engineering counterparts. 

• Be a customer-facing product leader. Engage enterprise customers in discovery, design reviews, and escalations — from CTO roadmap presentations to hands-on working sessions with customer engineering teams. 

• Deliver enterprise-grade product. Make platform components can be extended by teams building on the platform without sacrificing reliability and deliver enterprise-grade security and reliability. 

• Synthesize complexity into clarity. Communicate platform strategy, architectural tradeoffs, and roadmap priorities to executive, technical, and customer audiences with precision. 

To be successful in this role you have: 

• 15+ years in technical product management with substantial time on platform or infrastructure products at a top-tier enterprise software or AI company; you’ve personally written detailed specs and pushed back on engineering on architecture. 

• Agentic AI and LLM expertise. Hands-on product ownership of LLM-based systems; deep understanding of tool-calling, multi-agent coordination, RAG, context management, and real-world failure modes. 

• Fluency in AI infrastructure and a drive to stay current. You track the full stack — inference infrastructure, orchestration patterns, emerging runtime standards, and agent frameworks — and bring that knowledge directly into product decisions. 

• Engineering depth. Comfortable at the API, data model, and system design level; you can participate meaningfully in architecture reviews and earn engineers’ respect through substance, not title. 

• Enterprise scale experience. You’ve shipped software at real scale and know how to write requirements that account for multi-tenancy, latency, observability, and upgrade paths from day one. 

• Customer-facing credibility. Equally effective with a customer’s engineering team and their executive leadership; you turn customer conversations into sharper product thinking. 

• Player-coach leadership. You manage and elevate a team of PMs while staying deeply in the work yourself — setting the bar through output, not just direction.
