About the role

  • As Director, AI Product Management you will serve as the primary requirements analyst and solution evaluator within the AI Tech Solutions team.
  • While contributing across the full product lifecycle - Evaluation, Planning, Implementation, Adoption, and Support - your defining strength will be in the upstream discipline of understanding what users actually need and rigorously validating whether proposed solutions meet those needs.
  • You will work cross-functionally with departments across Per Scholas to translate business challenges into clearly documented requirements, facilitate structured discovery sessions, and apply analytical frameworks to evaluate and recommend technical products.

Responsibilities

  • Lead structured requirements gathering sessions with functional teams, employing workshops, interviews, contextual inquiry, and other proven elicitation techniques to surface stated and unstated needs
  • Develop and maintain user personas grounded in real usage data and stakeholder input, ensuring product decisions are anchored to defined user needs
  • Design and facilitate solution validation activities (demos, proof-of-concept reviews, pilot evaluations) to confirm that proposed or in-development products meet documented requirements
  • Develop and apply evaluation rubrics that weigh business, technical, user experience, and financial considerations in a repeatable and transparent manner
  • Partner with technical SMEs to assess feasibility constraints and identify gaps between user needs and proposed solution capabilities
  • Product Lifecycle Support
  • Manage a portfolio of assigned AI products across the lifecycle, with particular emphasis on the Evaluation and Planning phases
  • Support product adoption by ensuring implementation fidelity to documented requirements and by contributing to user-facing documentation and training materials
  • Create and maintain standardized templates, workflows, and artifacts for requirements gathering, solution evaluation, and product documentation
  • Partner with Finance, IT/IS, and departmental stakeholders to validate product business cases and ensure alignment on scope, budget, and timeline

Requirements

  • A skilled listener and interviewer - you know how to ask the right questions, probe beneath surface-level requests, and distinguish what users ask for from what they actually need

  • 5-8 years in a role with significant focus on one or more of the following:
  • Product Management with emphasis on discovery and evaluation
  • Technical Project Management (product evaluation and implementation)
  • Solutions Architecture or Solutions Consulting (pre-sales or internal)
  • 3+ years evaluating technical products or platforms against defined business and user criteria
  • Experience working cross-functionally with non-technical stakeholders to define and prioritize needs
  • Some preference for familiarity with Salesforce, AI/ML tools, or low-code/no-code platforms
  • Certifications in Business Analysis (CBAP, CCBA), Product Management, or Agile methodologies are a plus but not required
