Your Impact
We are looking for a Product Manager with product/service/project/program management and software development experience, to drive impact through discovering, defining and overseeing the delivery and rollout of features that solve critical user needs.
You’ll be a member of a global team working on a prioritized generative AI initiative, based in San Jose, Sao Paulo, or one of our European offices: Prague or Lisbon. Our McKinsey’s Tech Ecosystem function is responsible for developing and delivering all technology solutions for the firm’s internal use.
With your understanding of AI and ML products and experience with working with design teams, you’ll build and help drive the success of a generative AI product that has company-wide impact. As part of the product team you will sit at business side and work closely with tech to ensure the right things are built and work with supporting teams so that impact is maximized.
As a Product Manager, you will identify, prioritize, scope out, implement critical features of Lilli – McKinsey’s leading generative AI tool for employees – solving real user needs. As a Product Manager I, you will define the product vision and roadmap in a particular subdomain, manage the backlog, define and write user stories/tickets and prioritize across your features in alignment with Principal Product Manager.
Independently collaborating with technical team, you will refine these stories and evolve the solution, conducting agile ceremonies with expertise. Engaging with users for feedback and user research will be essential to enhancing user experience as well as leveraging data and user insights to turn into product strategy and requirements.
You will drive the definition, execution, and rollout and monitoring of a subset of features in one area, in close collaboration with the principal product manager, designers, and engineers, analytics teams as well as our adoption team. You will anticipate opportunities and challenges, guiding the team and leadership in addressing them proactively.
Your role includes developing business requirements, leading agile development, and managing agile ceremonies like standup, backlog grooming, sprint planning.
Prototyping, testing, and visualizing product features with designers will be part of your daily tasks. Ensuring that each feature meets its acceptance criteria will be a key responsibility, driving the success of our generative AI initiatives.
You’ll support the principal product manager with a variety of tasks but are expected to drive your workstream independently under minimal supervision.
Your qualifications and skills
* 4+ years of product owner experience with strong product management toolkit, effectively working with cross-functional teams in an agile set-up across the full product development lifecycle
* Prior experience in building products and driving impact with AI and/or generative AI space, contributing from strategy to delivery (preferred)
* Proven track-record in independently successfully delivering impact by identifying user needs, translating this into scoped product requirements / user stories, managing JIRA (or equivalent), running agile ceremonies and collaborating with technical teams ensuring feature delivery and bug fixes
* Comfortable working in fast-paced environments and navigating complex, rapidly changing AI landscapes; consulting experience is valued
* Strong execution and entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to identify, drive and deliver on critical paths and product strategies in a timely manner
* Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills with strong team player mindset working side by side with peers to deliver strategic bigger objectives
* Excellent analytical and problem-solving & structuring skills with ability to translate technical concepts, user analytics and user pain points into product requirements; a technical understanding of AI and ML products is preferred
* Some flexibility in working hours is required to accommodate different time zones as well as up to 20% international travel required due to the geographic dispersion of the team
