AI Systems Product Manager

NYC Alliance is building a next-generation AI-enabled operating system to fundamentally improve how products are conceived, designed, approved, and delivered—without compromising margin discipline, operational integrity, or accountability.

We are looking for an **AI Systems Product Manager** to design and own this system from a product perspective.

This role is about designing AI-powered workflows, decision systems, and guardrails that allow humans to move faster while staying within business and operational boundaries.

You will work at the intersection of:

* Business architecture

* AI agents and skills

* Product workflows

* Governance and rules

This role sits within the **CEO Office** and operates across all business units.

Responsibilities:

System-Level Product Design

* Design end-to-end AI-enabled workflows (e.g., Sales → Product → Cost → Sample → Order)

* Translate business rules (EPS, margin targets, feasibility constraints) into product logic and system guardrails

* Define how AI agents, human decision-makers (e.g., Product Business Owners), and rules interact

AI Agent & Workflow Ownership

* Design and iterate AI agent behaviors, responsibilities, and boundaries

* Define agent orchestration: what AI does, what humans decide, what rules enforce

* Ensure AI systems are explainable, auditable, and usable by non-technical users

Product Experience for Internal Users

* Own the product experience for internal users (Sales, PBOs, Supply Chain, Finance)

* Design decision interfaces that surface trade-offs, risks, and constraints clearly

* Optimize for clarity, accountability, and adoption—not novelty

Cross-Functional Leadership

* Work closely with Business, IT, Data, and Governance teams

* Partner with AI engineers to translate product intent into working systems

* Act as the single point of product truth across multiple AI initiatives

Outcome-Driven Delivery

* Define success metrics tied to business outcomes (cycle time, margin accuracy, decision quality)

* Drive MVPs and pilots into real operational usage

* Continuously refine systems based on real-world feedback and performance

This is a systems product role with real business accountability.

Requirements

8+ years as a Product Manager, preferably in:

Internal platform

Enterprise SaaS

Workflow or decision systems

AI, data, or platform products

Experience designing products with:

Complex rules

Multi-step workflows

Real-world constraints (finance, compliance, operations)

Product Mindset

* Thinks in systems, not features

* Comfortable saying “no” when speed compromises integrity

* Designs for scale, governance, and accountability

* Values clarity over cleverness

AI & Technical Fluency**

* Familiar with LLM-based systems and AI agents (without needing to build models)

* Understands concepts such as:

* Agent orchestration

* Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

* Guardrails and policy enforcement

* Able to work effectively with engineers and data teams

**Business Acumen**

* Strong intuition for margin, trade-offs, and operational risk

* Able to translate abstract business goals into concrete product behaviors

* Comfortable operating in ambiguous, evolving environments

**Why This Role Matters**

This role directly shapes how NYFF operates in the AI era.

You will not just influence a product—you will influence:

* How decisions are made

* How accountability is enforced

* How scale is achieved without chaos

Few roles offer this level of **systemic impact**.

**Optional (But Strong Plus)**

* Experience with enterprise AI platforms or internal tools

* Background in supply chain, finance, or operations-adjacent domains

* Experience working with executive leadership or CEO Office–level initiatives
