Full Job Description
As Principal Product Manager, AI/ML, you set the multi-year vision and strategy for Tatari's AI/ML recommendation and prediction products - one of the company's highest-leverage strategic bets. You operate with significant autonomy, shaping investment decisions while still functioning as a hands-on IC who ships. You bring outside-in thinking that reshapes how the org thinks about AI/ML, build the executive and cross-functional alignment needed to execute against that vision, and raise the bar for product craft across teams beyond your own.

Responsibilities:
  • Own the vision and multi-year roadmap for AI/ML recommendation and prediction products end-to-end - from ideation and business case through market research and competitive differentiation - to drive growth and sustained competitive advantage.
  • Secure executive alignment on technology investments tied to business goals; guide engineering teams in sequencing short-term deliverables that ladder to long-term strategy.
  • Serve as the org's go-to expert on customers and market: synthesize usage data, qualitative research, and competitive/industry intelligence to validate and prioritize the roadmap.
  • Evangelize AI/ML product innovation across the org, raising the bar on what "good" looks like and driving the organizational changes needed to support it.
  • Mentor and set the standard for other PMs working on adjacent AI/ML or data-driven initiatives - acting as a force-multiplier beyond your own roadmap.
  • Partner closely with design, data science, and engineering through the full delivery lifecycle (including Agile ceremonies) to define requirements and ship on time at the right quality bar.

Qualifications:
  • 10+ years in Product Management, including 3+ years leading ML/AI products end-to-end, with demonstrated Staff/Principal-level scope (influence across multiple teams or roadmaps, not just one product line).
  • Proven track record building and scaling recommendation systems and/or graph neural network (GNN) products in production, at meaningful user/data scale.
  • Experience shaping product strategy and driving buy-in without formal authority - across engineering, leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders - with results tied to specific business outcomes.
  • Skilled at partnering with UX/design and data science to ship AI/ML features, balancing model capability against usability constraints.
  • Strong grasp of Agile/iterative development, adapted for ML timelines (training cycles, data dependencies, experimentation loops).
  • Exceptional written/verbal communication; able to translate technical ML tradeoffs for non-technical stakeholders and think analytically across systems.
  • Big plus (not required): Direct experience in ad tech, CTV/streaming, linear TV, or programmatic media.

Benefits:
  • Total compensation ($190,000-$225,000)
  • Equity compensation
  • Health insurance coverage for you and your dependents
  • 401K, FSA, and commuter benefits
  • $150 monthly spending account
  • $1,000 annual continued education benefit
  • $500 Newbie Productivity Perk
  • Unlimited PTO and sick days
  • Monthly Company Wellness Day Off
  • Snacks, drinks, and catered lunches at the office
  • Team building events
  • Hybrid RTO of 2 days per week in office.
