About the role

  • This is a foundational hire - Scribd's first product management role pointed inward, with the company itself as the customer.
  • To do this well, you'll spend real time with developers and eng teams - understanding how they work today, where the friction lives, and what the next leap looks like for them.
  • You'll bring the same lens to the parallel transitions in other functions at Scribd.

Responsibilities

  • Own the unified agentic enablement roadmap. Pull together the in-flight AI workstreams across Scribd into a cohesive, sequenced roadmap. Decide what is shared infrastructure and what stays function-specific. Make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
  • Define and drive the product strategy for the platforms the company depends on - the internal app platform, the plugin marketplace, the agent runtime - and make sure they meet each function's real needs.
  • You will partner with the Developer Platform and Data Platform engineering teams who build the underlying capabilities.
  • Turn that into requirements we can build against, and turn the platform's capabilities into something every function can act on.
  • Drive cross-functional commitments to closure.
  • Make agentic enablement legible to the company. Define the metrics that matter - adoption, throughput, time recovered, evaluation quality, impact - and report against them. Build the narrative that gets every function bought in.
  • Demonstrated success owning ambiguous, cross-functional product surfaces end-to-end - defining the strategy, sequencing the work, and shipping with engineering partners - without a pre-existing playbook
  • A track record of being a trusted technical-strategy partner to engineering leadership, with influence at the architecture and roadmap horizon
  • Own the unified agentic enablement roadmap.
  • Partner on go-to-market for internal users.

Requirements

  • Our four products - Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable - help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise.
  • You are energized by hard, ambiguous, cross-functional problems where the technology landscape is moving faster than ever, adoption is uneven across functions, and the platform is actively evolving as it ships.
  • You are comfortable being the first PM in a new domain, defining the role as you go with no pre-existing playbook to inherit.
  • Hands-on experience shipping real products with modern AI/LLM primitives - prompting, evals, tool use, agentic workflows, MCP, plugin or skill ecosystems, or comparable concepts.
  • You have built things with these primitives, not just written PRDs about them

Skills
