Your Impact

As a Staff AI Product Manager, you will play a critical role in driving the roadmap for Cisco's agentic platform and experiences. You will own the product lifecycle end-to-end, translating complex technical capabilities into actionable roadmaps. You will collaborate cross-functionally to deliver secure, high-impact AI solutions that empower our global workforce.

Key Responsibilities

  • Product Strategy & Roadmap: Develop and refine the vision, strategy, and roadmap for enterprise AI solutions, aligning with stakeholder needs and Cisco's business goals.
  • Champion platform-level thinking: evaluate feature requests and product decisions for their impact on the broader Enterprise platform ecosystem, not just a single surface, and push back on point solutions that create long-term fragmentation.
  • Requirements Gathering & PRD Ownership: Lead the requirements gathering process; synthesize user problems and solution ideas from focus groups and other sources into clear, actionable Product Requirement Documents (PRDs).
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Work closely with engineering, design, security, legal, and business teams to ensure successful product delivery and compliance with privacy/security standards.
  • Influence roadmap and architecture decisions: build alignment with engineering leads, adjacent product teams, and platform stakeholders through data, narrative, and relationship-building rather than authority.
  • User-Centric Design: Advocate for automation features that address high-impact workflows and integrate with complex enterprise tools (e.g., Webex, Outlook, SharePoint, Jira).
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitate user focus groups, synthesize feedback, and iterate on prototypes to ensure solutions meet real-world needs.
  • Metrics & Success Evaluation: Define indicators for pilots and user testing; analyze data to advise product improvements and drive adoption


Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years in product management, with specific domain experience in AI (e.g., Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, or LLM-based systems).
  • Proven track record of launching successful products from concept to pilot to deployment in enterprise environments.
  • Experience working with technical teams and understanding APIs, integrations, and enterprise data architectures.
  • Strong analytical skills; comfortable synthesizing complex feedback and translating it into clear product requirements.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep expertise in generative AI or large-scale automation platforms.
  • Experience facilitating workshops, focus groups, and user testing.
  • Ability to work independently and lead cross-functional teams in a hybrid office environment (San Jose, RTP, or Seattle).
  • Experience in building privacy-forward and trustworthy experiences
  • Strategic vision with a hands-on approach to execution and metric-driven product management.
