Green-card follow-through: 80%

Of 5 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 433 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

About the role

  • intake, triage, research, execution with engineering, and measurement of impact.
  • This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role for someone who's energized by running a tight operational loop - turning incoming requests into scoped work, keeping engineering unblocked, and holding the team accountable to outcomes with data.
  • You'll work within a roadmap and priorities set by product leadership, and focus on making sure the right things get built, on time, and that you can prove they're working.

Responsibilities

  • Drive day-to-day execution of the AI platform roadmap in close partnership with engineering - from spec through release and post-launch iteration.
  • Build and run the intake and triage process for incoming requests (studio needs, feature ideas, bugs, integration asks), establishing clear criteria for prioritization and a repeatable operating cadence.
  • Conduct research to support product decisions - technical landscape scans (models, tooling, competitive AI platforms), stakeholder discovery, and feasibility assessments - and turn findings into clear, actionable write-ups.
  • Own the measurement framework for the platform: usage, adoption, and performance metrics, reporting cadence, and the mechanisms to catch regressions or gaps early.
  • Coordinate with design, other product leads, and studio stakeholders to keep execution aligned with agreed priorities.
  • Be a role model for AI-first ways of working: actively look for pieces of your own product work - intake, triage, research, reporting - that can be moved into agentic workflows rather than done by hand, and set the example for how the rest of the team should operate.
  • You'll partner directly with engineering to drive delivery across a platform spanning several interconnected surfaces (chat, knowledge bases, connectors/MCPs, workflows, and documents).
  • family planning support through Maven
  • Please contact us at accommodationrequest@zynga.com to request any accommodations or for support related to your application for an open position.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of end-to-end PM experience, leading complex, technical, multi-team product areas from strategy through delivery.
  • AI/ML expertise: Hands-on experience with AI-powered products (LLMs, agents, RAG, automation) and using AI tools to streamline internal workflows.
  • Strong operational rigor: Track record of designing structured intake/triage processes, managing competing priorities, and driving multi-workstream execution.
  • Exceptional communication: Proven ability to write clear specs and translate complex technical execution for both engineering and senior leadership.
  • All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without requiring current or future employer sponsorship.
  • Deep technical fluency & engineering partnership: Able to navigate specs, APIs, and system constraints to make credible tradeoffs and earn team trust.
  • Data-driven decision making: Proficient in defining metrics, analyzing data (SQL/dashboards), and using evidence to prioritize and measure impact.
  • High agency in ambiguity: A self-starter who thrives in undefined environments, takes ownership, and shapes process rather than waiting for direction.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience (advanced degree a plus). Agile-fluent.
