Balance new capabilities with product stability, scalability, operational efficiency, and cost control.

Define product scope and requirements with architects, engineering, and data teams, considering approaches such as retrieval-augmented generation, agents, and model selection.
Establish product-level evaluation measures and release criteria with technical and governance partners, incorporating approved AI guardrails.
Assess evaluation results and recommend release readiness based on task success, grounded-response rates, and identified product limitations.
Use telemetry, user feedback, and experimentation to identify performance issues and prioritize product improvements.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Alignment
Lead alignment across business, engineering, data, UX, and governance stakeholders on product priorities, requirements, and delivery commitments.
Resolve competing requirements and manage cross-team dependencies, escalating scope, resource, or risk decisions beyond assigned authority.
Partner with Legal, Security, Compliance, and Risk to address requirements and issues affecting responsible AI implementation.
Communicate product progress, decisions, dependencies, and risks to stakeholders and leadership.

Lead launch, enablement, and change-management planning for assigned AI products with business and delivery partners.
