Director of Product Management - Decion Agentic PlatformReports to: Chief Product Officer
Location: MULTIPLE STATES (East Coast)Role OverviewToolsGroup is seeking a
Director of Product Management - Decion Agentic Platform to lead the development of our next-generation, AI-native supply chain platform.
This is a
mission-critical leadership role at the center of our transformation to an
agentic, AI-first platform (Decion)-a platform that redefines how supply chains are planned, optimized, and operated through autonomous and semi-autonomous systems.
You will own the
platform layer that powers Decion-including the agentic fabric, APIs, data and integration infrastructure, and core platform services-while enabling product and engineering teams across the company to build, extend, and scale on top of it.
This role requires a
true product leader-someone who can:
- Set a clear platform vision
- Operate as a player-coach in a high-velocity environment
- Drive alignment and execution across a complex, engineering-led organization
- Lead through a combination of direct management, influence, and technical credibility
What You'll OwnYou will lead product strategy and execution for the
Decion Platform, including:
1. Platform Foundation- Agentic architecture (LLM, memory, skills, tools)
- Platform APIs (agentic "brain" / orchestration layer)
- Data Hub and Integration Hub
- Telemetry, observability, and platform services (including billing/metering)
2. Core Platform Enablement - Define product requirements for core planning engines to support:
- Agentic execution
- API-first extensibility
- Scenario modeling and simulation
3. Cross-Cutting Platform Capabilities- Platform-level ownership of core agentic services, for example: Scenario Management and Visualization including Insights product.
- Enable consistent, scalable capabilities across all product domains
4. Platform as a Product (Internal + External)- Treat internal engineering teams as customers
- Define how agentic skills and tools are built, reused, and extended
- Enable rapid development of agentic applications across the platform
- Establish a developer-friendly, composable platform ecosystem
Leadership Expectations (Critical)This is not a traditional PM leadership role. You are expected to operate as a
player-coach and platform leader:
Lead Through Vision- Define and communicate a compelling platform strategy
- Establish Decion as a differentiated, extensible agentic platform
- Align product, engineering, and GTM around a shared architectural direction
Lead Through Direct Ownership (Player-Coach)- Operate comfortably at multiple altitudes:
- Strategic (platform vision, architecture direction)
- Tactical (PRDs, epics, API definitions, capability design)
- Actively contribute to:
- Problem framing
- Solution design
- Product specifications
- Use AI to accelerate your own output and the team's productivity
Lead Through Influence (Beyond Direct Team)- Drive product direction across multiple engineering teams who do not report to you
- Build alignment across:
- Platform engineering
- Domain product teams (Demand, Inventory, etc.)
- Architecture and UX
- Ensure platform adoption through clarity, usability, and value-not authority
Lead Through People Management- Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing product team
- Develop talent capable of operating in an AI-first, high-velocity environment
- Set a high bar for product thinking, execution, and accountability
Operating Model: AI-First Product Development (AI-PDLC)ToolsGroup operates an
AI-first Product Development Lifecycle (AI-PDLC).
You will be expected to:
- Leverage AI to accelerate:
- Discovery and research
- Rapid prototyping
- PRD and epic generation
- Engineering productivity
- Quality Assurance
- Documentation
- Lead teams using human + AI collaborative workflows
- Drive adoption of AI-native product practices across your organization
- Continuously evolve how product is built in an agentic environment
Key Responsibilities- Define and execute the Decion Platform product strategy
- Build and scale a platform-first product mindset across the organization
- Partner deeply with Engineering leadership to deliver a modern, API-first architecture
- Enable other product teams to innovate quickly via reusable platform capabilities
- Establish best practices for agentic system design and productization
- Drive cross-functional alignment across Product, Engineering, UX, and GTM
- Lead product execution through an AI-first, high-velocity development model
- Ensure platform capabilities translate into measurable business outcomes
What You BringRequired Experience- 10+ years in Product Management and/or Engineering leadership (if Engineering background, some Product management - whether formally or informally is expected), with significant experience in platform products
- Proven leadership experience as a Director or Group Manager
- Strong track record operating as a player-coach in high-growth or complex environments
- Experience leading across multiple engineering teams (direct and indirect)
- Deep experience with:
- API-first platforms
- Developer-facing products
- Distributed or composable architectures
- Experience working in or with AI/ML-powered products or platforms
AI & Modern Product Development- Experience working in AI-first or highly automated development environments
- Familiarity with:
- LLM-powered applications
- Agentic systems or orchestration frameworks
- Hands-on use of AI tools for:
- Prototyping
- Product documentation
- Workflow acceleration
Leadership & Influence- Proven ability to:
- Lead through influence across large organizations
- Align stakeholders across product and engineering
- Drive adoption of shared platform capabilities
- Strong executive communication skills
Preferred Experience- Background in supply chain, planning, or optimization software
- Experience building internal platforms or developer ecosystems
- Exposure to SaaS monetization models (usage-based, telemetry-driven)
- Experience scaling products through partner ecosystems
Measures of SuccessSuccess in this role will be measured by:
Platform Impact- Adoption of platform capabilities across internal teams
- Reuse and extensibility of agentic skills and services
- Reduction in time-to-build for new capabilities
Business Outcomes- Contribution to improvements in:
- Win Rate
- Gross Revenue Retention (GRR)
- Net Revenue Retention (NRR)
- Platform-driven expansion (attach, cross-sell)
Execution Excellence- Product development velocity
- Quality and reliability (low defect escape, high predictability)
- Effective adoption of AI-PDLC practices
Why This Role MattersThis is a
category-defining opportunity to:
- Build one of the first agentic platforms in supply chain planning
- Shape how AI-native enterprise software is developed and delivered
- Lead a transformation that directly impacts company growth, differentiation, and market position
You will not just manage a roadmap-you will
define the platform that enables the future of decision-centric supply chain planning.
