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
