Sr Product Manager - AI Innovations | India

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly entrepreneurial, driven Senior Product Manager to lead the charge on our next-generation AI Insights solutions. In this 0-to-1 role, you will operate with scrappy, startup-minded velocity within the stability and scale of a mid-sized enterprise environment.

You will not just be managing a roadmap; you will be building a product from the ground up that leverages machine learning and AI to deliver actionable, transformative insights to contact center operations. You are comfortable navigating the messiness of real-world data and the limitations of ML models in production, making tough tradeoff calls with incomplete information, and pivoting quickly when things aren't working.
