Product Director - Engineering Advisory

As a Product Director, you combine deep product leadership with strong hands‑on engineering and AI architecture credibility to guide teams as an internal product, engineering, and agility consultancy. You work side‑by‑side with engineers to design, build, and evolve high‑quality solutions—leveraging modern software engineering practices and applied AI to improve how value is designed, built, and delivered.

Job Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the product and platform roadmap, vision, development, execution, risk management, and business growth targets, emphasizing engineering excellence and AI‑enabled delivery.
• Lead the full product life cycle—from discovery through delivery and continuous improvement—by adapting approaches, developing new capabilities, managing risk, and balancing cost, features, reusability, reliability, and scalability.
• Serve as a hands‑on technical and AI leader, working directly with engineers to architect solutions that incorporate AI capabilities, establish best practices for AI‑assisted development, code quality, testing, security, and maintainability, and ensure AI is used pragmatically to improve developer productivity and system outcomes.
• Act as a coach for cross‑functional teams, pairing with engineers, reviewing code, shaping architectural decisions, guiding technical trade‑offs, and aligning product, design, and delivery leaders on scope, sequencing, feasibility, and value realization.
• Coach engineering teams on modern engineering and AI‑enabled practices, including XP/TDD, automated testing, CI/CD, trunk‑based development, pair/mob programming, AI‑assisted coding workflows, and reducing technical debt while demonstrating business and operational impact.
• Drive adoption and evolution of operating models across the PDLC/SDLC, embedding AI‑enabled ways of working to enable continuous improvement in delivery, quality, and operational excellence through data‑driven inspection and adaptation.
• Coach and mentor product teams on solution generation, discovery techniques, experimentation, prototyping, and product adoption strategies, ensuring strong collaboration between product and engineering in an AI‑augmented environment.
• Own product and platform performance, accountable for investing in enhancements that achieve business, technical, and operational objectives.
• Monitor market and technology trends to identify opportunities for differentiation and step‑change improvements in product development and delivery.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience delivering software products, platforms, or technology solutions, with significant hands‑on engineering responsibility.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and coach engineers through direct technical engagement, combining deep product leadership, lean/agile methodologies, modern engineering practices, and applied AI‑assisted development.
• Strong hands‑on software engineering background: capable of reading, writing, and reviewing production code, shaping system architecture, and guiding pragmatic use of AI.
• Deep understanding of the product development life cycle, technical design, architecture, and data/telemetry, including AI impacts.
• Proven ability to influence and embed change across discovery, ideation, technical design, delivery, and value management in complex environments.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to operate effectively across engineering, product, design, risk, and leadership audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience operating in a highly matrixed, complex enterprise environment.
• Full‑stack development experience with exposure to modern cloud‑native architectures.
• Experience establishing or scaling AI‑enabled engineering platforms or internal developer tooling.
• Demonstrated success leading teams through architectural modernization or AI‑driven productivity transformations.
