Senior/Staff Technical Product Manager, Agentic AI Transformation

In this role, you will

• Set the Vision: Define a compelling vision for how SDMA's safety case and clearance process will be transformed, reimagining internal workflows as AI-first paradigms rather than simply automating today's steps.
• Turn Ambiguity into Action: Bring structure to ambiguous problems and fragmented information, resolve open questions and differences, and keep teams focused on actionable results.
• Build and Deliver the Roadmap: Translate the vision into a prioritized roadmap, break large problems into incremental releases that deliver early value, and drive them through implementation and adoption. Prioritize investment where it most accelerates milestones.
• Enable the AI Team: Partner with Zoox's AI team as the voice of the SDMA customer. Define clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and quality gates so they can build the right technical solutions.
• Earn Trust in AI Outputs: Ensure AI-generated analyses meet the rigor safety decisions demand, with traceability, validation, and the right level of human oversight built in.
• Align Across Zoox: Communicate the roadmap, trade-offs, and progress clearly to stakeholders and leadership. Resolve disagreements and build consensus across organizations.
• Measure What Matters: Define and track metrics such as adoption, output accuracy, clearance cycle time, and engineering hours saved, and use them to demonstrate impact and steer strategy.

Qualifications

• Technical Foundation: B.S. or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, with hands-on engineering experience. Comfortable going deep on system architecture and data with senior engineers.
• Proven Product Leadership: 8+ years of hands-on product management experience, with a track record of building and launching complex software products, including AI-integrated products.
• AI Fluency: Practical understanding of LLMs and agentic systems and how they map to real-world engineering workflows.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Thrives in ambiguity, moves from zero to one, and is energized by pioneering new paradigms.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Excellent communicator who resolves disagreements, aligns teams on solutions, and inspires both SDMA engineers and cross-functional partners.

Bonus Qualifications

• Organizational Change Leadership: Experience driving organization-level mindset shifts and leading visible, high-impact technical initiatives.
• Agentic Workflow Experience: Hands-on experience managing and implementing agentic workflows and products.
