Lead Product Manager - AI Platform
Tricentis
Lead Product Manager – AI Platform
Job Title: Lead Product Manager
Reporting To: Vice President – AI Product
THE OPPORTUNITY
Are you a technical product manager who can connect the dots between how AI works, how it gets used, and how it creates sustainable business value?
Tricentis is the industry's #1 Continuous Testing platform, and AI is central to our next phase of growth. We are looking for a Lead Product Manager – AI Platform to own the shared platform layer that powers all AI experiences across the Tricentis portfolio — including our AI Chat product, usage telemetry, and the commercialization model that turns AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes.
This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market. You will ensure that the AI we build is instrumented, packaged, and positioned to win.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Own the AI Platform Roadmap: Define and execute the strategy for the shared platform capabilities that underpin all AI features — including AI Chat, credit and entitlement infrastructure, telemetry, and cross-product AI integrations.
Lead AI Commercialization: Own how AI capabilities are packaged, metered, and monetized — translating usage data and customer behavior into pricing models that align value delivery with revenue outcomes.
Drive Telemetry & Instrumentation: Build the observability layer that makes AI adoption visible — defining the events, metrics, and dashboards that track how customers engage with AI features across the portfolio.
Drive Execution: This is a hands-on Lead IC role. You will write detailed technical specs, groom backlogs with engineering, and be directly accountable for platform reliability, adoption, and commercial performance.
RESPONSIBILITIES
AI Credits & Entitlement Strategy: Own the design and evolution of our AI credits system — defining metering logic, entitlement tiers, and packaging constructs that scale across customer segments, product lines, and partner programs.
Telemetry & Usage Analytics: Define the instrumentation strategy for AI features across the portfolio. You will own the metrics framework that tracks feature adoption, retention, usage concentration, and drop-off — and use those signals to drive product decisions.
AI Chat Product Ownership: Own the AI Chat experience end-to-end — from conversation design and context management to integration with underlying AI capabilities and platform APIs.
Platform API & Integration Standards: Define the platform contracts and integration patterns that allow individual product teams to build on top of shared AI infrastructure consistently and efficiently.
Go-to-Market Alignment: Work closely with product marketing, sales, and customer success to ensure AI capabilities are clearly positioned, properly enablement-ready, and landing value with customers.
Responsible AI at Scale: Champion privacy, auditability, and compliance requirements across the platform layer — ensuring enterprise customers can trust and govern how AI is used within their environments.
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
AI/ML Fluency: Solid understanding of LLMs and AI product architecture — enough to make informed decisions about platform design, API contracts, and capability boundaries without needing to build the models yourself.
Telemetry & Analytics Systems: Experience designing event instrumentation and usage analytics pipelines. Familiarity with tools and patterns for tracking product usage at scale.
Commercialization & Pricing Mechanics: Understanding of consumption-based pricing models, entitlement systems, and the operational complexity of metering AI usage across a multi-product enterprise portfolio.
Platform Thinking: Ability to design shared infrastructure that serves multiple product teams — balancing standardization with flexibility, and short-term delivery with long-term extensibility.
Enterprise Security & Compliance: Familiarity with RBAC, audit logging, and data governance as they apply to AI features operating on sensitive enterprise data.
WHAT YOU NEED
Basic Qualifications (Must Haves)
5–8+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 2+ years in Technical Product Management or AI/Data products.
AI/ML Fluency: Demonstrated experience shipping AI-powered products, with an understanding of how LLMs and AI systems behave in production.
Commercial Acumen: Experience working on pricing, packaging, or monetization strategy for a software product — ideally in a consumption or usage-based model.
Data-Driven Mindset: Strong ability to define KPIs, interpret usage data, and make product decisions grounded in telemetry rather than intuition alone.
Enterprise Experience: Experience working in complex enterprise software environments where security, scalability, and cross-functional alignment are critical.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Haves)
Platform Product Experience: Prior experience owning a shared platform or infrastructure product that serves multiple internal or external product teams.
AI Commercialization: Direct experience designing and evolving AI credit, token, or consumption-based pricing models.
Developer or QA Tooling: Experience building products for developers or QA engineers with an understanding of the SDLC.
Global Collaboration: Experience working with distributed teams across time zones.
Hands-on Tech: Previous experience as a developer or data scientist is a strong plus.
TRICENTIS CORE VALUES
Demonstrate Self-Awareness: Own your strengths and limitations.
Finish What We Start: Do what we say we are going to do.
Move Fast: Create momentum and efficiency.
Run Towards Change: Challenge the status quo.
Serve Our Customers & Communities: Create a positive experience with each interaction.
Solve Problems Together: We win or lose as one team.
Think Big & Believe: Set extraordinary goals and believe you can achieve them.
