NDS AI Integration Product Owner

Role Overview

• Engage stakeholders to understand needs and prioritize AI/automation features by value, risk, and feasibility.
• Communicate requirements, progress, value, and AI assumptions/limitations at the right level of detail.
• Partner with users and SMEs to define actionable requirements and testable acceptance criteria, including quality, safety, and compliance expectations.
• Report status, blockers, and risks (data, model, compliance) to the Product Manager and escalate as needed.
• Partner with the Product Manager to maintain product vision and strategy for AI-enabled capabilities (agentic AI, workflow automation, decision support).
• Support roadmap planning aligned to strategy, release plans, and measurable outcomes (time saved, quality, cost, compliance).
• Promote transparent delivery and decision-making, including how AI performance is evaluated and monitored.
• Build domain and solution context (data sources, constraints, dependencies, risks, goals) to ensure deliverables meet user needs.
• Own and prioritize the backlog; break AI work into clear epics/stories, including data readiness, evaluation, and rollout.
• Maintain backlog visibility and clarity with a definition of done that includes testing, metrics, and required documentation (e.g., model/release notes).
• Track development progress and readiness; coordinate demos, acceptance, releases, and post-release AI monitoring.
• Strong stakeholder influence skills, ability to influence adoption without direct authority.
• Lead or participate in agile ceremonies and help balance discovery, experimentation, and delivery.
• Clarify priorities, outcomes, and tradeoffs; coordinate with delivery teams, data science, security, and operations.
• Drive adoption of AI-enabled practices across delivery teams through communication, training coordination, and feedback loops, in addition to feature delivery.
• Help monitor investment and ROI; support cost/benefit analysis for AI and automation (tools, licensing, infrastructure, operations).

Requirements

• Product Owner/Manager (or similar) experience in agile; delivery of technology products with cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication, leadership, and stakeholder management; strong analytical/problem-solving; able to explain AI tradeoffs and limitations to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Working knowledge of modern software delivery practices (branching strategies, CI/CD, code review, sprint cadences, and delivery metrics) and the ability to apply them to drive consistent, measurable delivery outcomes across development teams.
• Familiarity with agentic AI patterns (multi-step reasoning, tool-calling, orchestration) and the risk controls needed to govern autonomous actions in development workflows.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, AI-driven testing, or prompt-based automation) and the ability to write testable acceptance criteria for AI features, including non-deterministic behavior, guardrails, and fallback conditions.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
