[Hiring] Product Manager - AI Services @Esko, a Veralto company

Role Description

As Product Manager for AI Services, you will own the product lifecycle for a shared foundation of AI capabilities that Esko's internal teams build on rather than re-invent - enabling them to solve customer problems that were previously out of reach with optimal speed and efficiency.

Cross-functional collaboration sits at the core of the role. You will:

• Coach internal teams and consolidate their needs to find common ground.
• Work with technical and design stakeholders to agree on the best approach.
• Document clear, testable requirements that are reviewed and approved before development begins.
• Maintain a coherent, prioritized backlog and roadmap that reflects the combined needs of Esko's product teams and aligns with company strategy and AI transformation objectives.
• Keep stakeholders updated as work progresses.
• Support stakeholders through acceptance testing, triage, and implement change requests.
• Drive adoption of the services in production.
• Track adoption and key performance metrics to demonstrate impact and identify areas needing more focus.

As a key member of the Esko AI team, you will also help shape the strategic vision for Esko's AI initiatives through brainstorming, thought leadership, customer discussions, and events.

• Native or fluent proficiency in English.
• Experience initiating, deploying, and scaling AI-powered capabilities in production.
• Experience acting as a liaison in a large, global organization with multiple cross-functional teams.

• Comfort operating at the boundary between a platform team and the product teams that consume it.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Requirements

• Experience in packaging graphics or the wider graphic arts industry is strongly preferred.
