About This Role

This Product Manager role is crucial for integrating AI capabilities with sustainability reporting, directly shaping how companies measure and disclose their environmental impact. You'll work closely with AI engineers to design LLM-powered features and even build prototypes yourself using AI-assisted coding tools, blending strategic product vision with technical execution.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day reviewing the latest regulatory updates (e.g., CSRD implementation guidance) and prioritize features with the engineering team. Spend a few hours using AI-assisted coding to build a prototype for a new LLM-powered data extraction tool, then meet with a customer to validate the concept. End the day refining the product roadmap based on feedback and collaborating with the AI team on model performance.
