Product Manager — AI Foundry Team

New York

About MAIA 

MAIA is our next leap in AI, an always-available assistant that amplifies human insight. By integrating directly into our workflows, it turns AI into true Augmented Intelligence, extending our creativity, judgment, and expertise. Built on a multi-agent framework, MAIA connects specialized tools, data sources, and reasoning systems through one interface, so you can do more, think deeper, and deliver sharper outcomes for clients. 

About the Role

The Product Manager for the AI Foundry team is responsible for the day-to-day execution, technical coordination, and operational management of MAIA — Prophet's multi-agent AI platform. Working under the strategic direction set by the AI Center of Excellence (CoE), you will translate the CoE's vision for AI at Prophet into tangible product outcomes. This role is hands-on and increasingly technical: you will design and code experiments to validate new capabilities, evaluate competing technical approaches and surface strategic tradeoffs, coordinate directly with Lyzr's engineering and CTO staff, and contribute to full-stack client-facing applications — all while ensuring releases ship on time and at quality. 

Your Day to Day

  • Roadmap Execution & Release Management — Support the CoE in translating strategic priorities into an executable product backlog and contribute to the release cadence from development through launch. A core part of your role is judging the technical architecture and feasibility of proposed ideas — essentially answering "Can we do this?" and "How hard is it?" — so leadership can make informed prioritization decisions. Define acceptance criteria grounded in technical feasibility and system architecture constraints. 
  • Lyzr Technical Partnership — Drive conversations with the Lyzr CTO and engineering team around technical needs for new features. Write detailed specifications, participate in sprints, conduct QA, and manage release sign-off. Facilitate in-depth technical Q&A sessions with Lyzr's engineering staff to resolve architecture decisions, debug integration issues, and align on implementation approaches. 
  • Experimentation & Prototyping — Design and run experiments to test new agent capabilities — including building agents, running scaled agent testing protocols, and benchmarking model performance across use cases. Strong familiarity with no-code and low-code tools such as Claude Code is essential. Experience with developer tools such as Visual Studio, Vercel, and Supabase is a plus. Translate experiment results into clear go/no-go recommendations for the CoE. 
  • Technical Evaluation & Tradeoff Analysis — Evaluate core business requirements and financial needs against the technical requirements and complexity needed for new MAIA features. Assess different technical approaches for platform capabilities (e.g., Prophet knowledge graph design, API integration patterns, retrieval-augmented generation strategies) and surface strategic tradeoffs to leadership with clear framing of cost, speed, accuracy, and maintainability. 
  • Agent Development — Gather use cases from consulting teams, draft agent specifications with defined data flows and system prompts, and manage the agent lifecycle from build through launch and iteration. Participate directly in prompt engineering and agent testing. 
  • Client-Facing Application Development — Support the development of full-stack client-facing applications on the MAIA platform (e.g., custom-built tools for clients like Alcon) by coordinating feature requirements, contributing to front-end and back-end implementation, and managing UX feedback and testing cycles. 
  • Cross-Functional Coordination — Coordinate across design, engineering, consulting, marketing, and IT/security teams; prepare technical demos, architecture documentation, release notes, and status updates. 
  • Performance Tracking — Track product and system metrics (adoption, usage, latency, error rates, satisfaction) and present performance reports to CoE leadership. 

What You Bring

  • 2+ years of experience in product management, management consulting, project management, or a similar role involving cross-functional coordination and structured problem-solving. Experience in a technical or engineering-adjacent environment is a strong plus but not required. 
  • Technical aptitude and willingness to get hands-on — You don't need a computer science degree, but you should be comfortable learning to read and write code (Python preferred), navigating APIs and data schemas, and engaging in architecture discussions with engineers. And if you don't know something, you're not afraid to spend an afternoon figuring it out. Experience with LLMs, agent frameworks, or AI/ML tooling is a bonus. 
  • Strong organizational and communication skills — You can manage multiple workstreams, write clear specifications, and present confidently to both technical and business audiences
  • Technically Driven — You don't just manage engineers; you're eager to open the codebase, run experiments, and prototype solutions yourself. You're excited to build with tools like Claude Code and test at scale. 
  • Architecturally Curious — You want to understand how systems work under the hood. You can learn to evaluate technical approaches, weigh tradeoffs across performance, cost, and complexity, and present clear recommendations to non-technical stakeholders. 
  • Consulting-Minded — You understand how consultants work and what makes a tool genuinely useful in client engagements. You can translate client needs into technical requirements. 
  • Proactive Communicator — You surface issues early, ask precise questions when unclear, and keep stakeholders — from Lyzr's CTO to Prophet leadership — informed and aligned. 
  • Builder-Oriented — You're excited to prototype and build things quickly, even knowing they might get scrapped the next day. You thrive in environments where rapid iteration and a willingness to experiment are more valuable than perfection on the first try. 
  • Fun & Collaborative — The Foundry is a small team, and you'll spend a lot of time together in meetings and working sessions. A little levity keeps us all sane. You bring positive energy, enjoy the collaboration, and make the people around you better. 

This is a hybrid role in our New York office and requires being in person 3+ days per week. 
Salary Range: $110,000-$125,000

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
