The Agentic Product Owner serves as the primary decision-maker for live AI products, translating feedback, performance signals, and business needs into prioritized work. This role partners closely with AI Enablement, AI Trainers, engineering, and business stakeholders to continuously refine agent behavior, improve outcomes, and scale AI capabilities.
This role also requires a foundational understanding of generative AI concepts (e.g., LLMs, RAG, prompt behavior) to effectively manage AI-driven backlogs and product decisions.

Coordinate with business SMEs, content owners, AI Enablement, AI Trainers, engineering, and QA to ensure backlog items are well understood and actionable
Facilitate prioritization discussions where feedback, defects, content gaps, AI behavior concerns, and enhancement requests compete for delivery capacity
AI Performance and Feedback Integration
Collaborate with AI Trainers and AI Enablement to incorporate AI behavior analysis and performance insights into backlog decisions
Incorporate feedback into backlog prioritization
Ensure improvements are driven by user feedback, usage patterns, and quality issues
Leverage AI Trainer and AI Enablement expertise for analysis of agent behavior, prompt sensitivity, grounding issues, response quality, and improvement opportunities
Ensure AI-related issues are appropriately categorized, such as product defect, content gap, prompt/behavior issue, user experience gap, or training/adoption need
Product Decision Ownership
Serve as the primary decision-maker for product direction, prioritization, and trade-offs
Ensure clear ownership of product outcomes post-launch
Own decisions regarding what gets fixed, enhanced, deferred, or escalated for live AI products
Partner with business sponsors and stakeholders to ensure post-release product decisions remain aligned to business value, user impact, and roadmap priorities
