What you will do

• Own the vision, strategy, roadmap, and measurable outcomes for major areas of the Maestro platform, from discovery through launch, adoption, and continuous improvement.
• Define the platform primitives, APIs, SDKs, services, administration experiences, and extension patterns that enable internal teams, customers, partners, and AI agents to build safely and quickly.
• Drive an agentic platform approach, including agent development and runtime needs.
• Partner closely with Data Fabric teams to shape trusted, reusable data products and services.
• Translate strategy into executable plans: lead customer discovery, define requirements and success criteria, establish a clear plan to solve complex problems.
• Create a coherent platform experience across application services, embedded algorithms, developer tooling, administration, and data capabilities.
• Engage enterprise customers and partners as a trusted product leader; validate needs, guide early adoption, and turn repeated use cases into durable platform capabilities.
• Communicate crisp product narratives and decisions to executives, technical teams, and Go-to- Market stakeholders, and lead alignment across multiple product areas.

What we are looking for

• 8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex enterprise SaaS, platform, developer, data, or cloud products.
• Proven record of setting product strategy and personally driving execution across discovery, delivery, launch, and adoption.
• Hands-on experience with AI tooling or AI-enabled systems, such as generative AI, agents, orchestration, model or prompt tooling, evaluations, observability, or AI governance.
• Experience with modern data platforms or data fabric concepts, including data products, semantic layers or ontologies, metadata, lineage, data quality, access controls, and governance.
• Ability to simplify complex systems, define reusable platform capabilities, and balance near-term delivery with long-term architecture and product leverage. Technical fluency with APIs, SDKs and common platform services to understand tradeoffs with engineering team.
• Excellent judgment, analytical rigor, and communication skills, with demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead through ambiguity.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Building enterprise agent platforms, AI developer tooling, copilots, or workflow automation.
• Working with semantic models, knowledge graphs, ontologies, master data, or federated data access.
• Building platform capabilities for regulated or security-conscious enterprise customers.
• Working with optimization, planning, scheduling, forecasting, or other computation-intensive systems.
