About the Role

We're hiring a Product Owner to help lead delivery of enterprise AI products for a major life sciences client's commercial organization. You'll sit at the intersection of client stakeholders, engineering teams, and business strategy — translating commercial pharma needs into product requirements, managing sprint delivery, and representing the product roadmap to senior client and internal leadership.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility role. You'll work directly with a senior program lead on a flagship AI engagement spanning sales enablement, content generation, and commercial analytics products built on modern LLM architectures.

What You'll Do

• Own the product backlog for one or more AI-powered commercial tools — writing user stories, defining acceptance criteria, and prioritizing sprint scope

• Act as the primary liaison between client business stakeholders and the delivery/engineering team

• Translate ambiguous business asks into clear technical requirements

• Run or co-run sprint ceremonies (planning, backlog grooming, demos, retros)

• Track delivery risks, dependencies, and scope changes; flag issues early

• Prepare client-facing status updates, roadmap decks, and executive summaries

• Partner with data science/engineering leads on feasibility and sequencing decisions

• Represent the voice of the field/end-user (sales reps, brand teams, marketing) in product decisions

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years in product ownership/product management, ideally on enterprise software or AI/ML products

• Comfortable working directly with client stakeholders at multiple levels, including senior leadership

• Strong writing and communication skills — you can turn messy requirements into a clean brief

• Working knowledge of agile delivery (Jira/Azure DevOps, sprint planning, backlog management)

• Based in NY or able to work core EST hours consistently

Nice to Have

• Experience in pharma/life sciences commercial operations (sales force effectiveness, HCP engagement, omnichannel, market access, or similar)

• Familiarity with CRM/commercial tools common in pharma (Veeva, Salesforce, IQVIA, or similar)

• Exposure to LLM-based products, conversational AI, or agentic workflows

• Consulting or professional services background

What Makes This Role Interesting

You'll be working on a high-priority, high-visibility engagement with real executive attention — not a back-office product role. You'll have direct input into how AI products get shaped for a demanding enterprise client, with room to grow into broader program leadership.
