Principal Product Manager, AI

Full-time

Job Description

Valence has built the only AI native coaching platform for enterprise, offering personalized, expert, and human-like guidance and support to any leader or employee. We’re not just talking about the future of work — we’re building it now, with the most innovative Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology.

Our focus is on the problems that actually decide whether AI changes how organizations operate — the ones with no playbook, no obvious answers, and no guarantee of success. If you want to be part of the small group that defines how AI transforms the future at a global scale, this is your chance.

And this isn’t for everyone. We’re not looking for people who want predictability or incremental progress. We only want those who are restless at the edge of what’s possible, who get bored when things feel “done,” and who are driven to redefine what AI can mean for leaders, companies, and the world. Because at Valence, the work worth doing is the kind that redefines work itself.

The Role

In this role you'll be be the founding GM-type product leader wholly accountable for end-to-end retention, user engagement, and activation for a critical product area. You'll own and define the full journey for enterprise end-users, from onboarding through ongoing engagement. This is not a feature shipper role - you’re building retention frameworks, defining and measuring user success, and pioneering hands-on, rapid experimentation at the intersection of AI and user experience. Expect to drive hypotheses, rapidly iterate in zero-to-one fashion, and immerse yourself with actual users to discover needs and fuel the next wave of enterprise value. In other words, you’ll ship to discover value, not only to deliver roadmap features.

About Valence

We're the only company pioneering leadership coaching for large enterprises in an AI-first way. Our mission is to transform how the world's biggest companies approach learning and development, helping teams work better together through AI-powered personalization that adapts to individual goals and organizational culture using the latest advances in machine learning and natural language processing.

We've been featured in Harvard Business Review, TIME, World Economic Forum, Financial Times, Forbes and an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America. Our clients represent the most diverse and sophisticated enterprise AI implementations globally, including Coca-Cola, Delta, Nestlé, General Mills, ServiceNow, Schneider Electric, Deutsche Telekom, AstraZeneca, Prudential, CVS and Bristol Myers Squibb.

Working at Valence means you'll work directly with Fortune 500 technology leaders, building expertise through the most complex enterprise deployments while gaining insight into diverse organizational approaches to AI transformation. These aren't just any enterprise clients - they're the companies defining what AI-first business transformation looks like across every major industry.

What You'll Do

Lead strategic product direction and roadmap development in close partnership with our technical and product leadership.

Set the vision for and own the retention funnel and success metrics, including activation and deep engagement triggers.

Personally define, prioritize, and validate hypotheses via fast, data-driven experiments; craft programs to test, learn, and iterate quickly.

Spend substantial time in direct user discovery, segmentation, and feedback loops, running interviews and user groups to glean rapid insights.

Collaborate deeply with engineering and design to ensure cohesion between product vision and hands-on execution—operating as both strategist and builder.

Own and execute hands-on product marketing, new messaging and creative experiments, plus novel AI-assisted approaches to drive user adoption.

Lead product teardowns and retrospectives to surface lessons, articulate design trade-offs, and uphold a high bar for product judgement and craft.

What We're Looking For

8+ years of relevant product management or equivalent operator/technical experience.

AI Fluency: Proven AI-native orientation with clear personal/professional use of AI tools, workflow automation, or productized AI practices.

Enterprise Impact: Direct ownership of shipping end-user-facing products at enterprise scales and not just internal tools.

High Velocity Execution: Demonstrated ability to thrive in early stage product environments, shipping with minimal process and citing high-impact outcomes.

Analytical Rigor: Strong analytical skills including A/B testing, build-measure-learn loops, and using data to drive product direction.

Product Craft: Drive product excellence by presenting live walkthroughs of shipped products, unpacking decisions that achieved measurable user impact and real-world results.

User & Enterprise Empathy: Deep, intuitive empathy for both individual users and enterprise end-users - able to understand needs, motivations, and pain points at every level to inform high-impact product bets.
