Job Description
MetroStar is looking for an AI Product Owner to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of a groundbreaking R&D initiative within our Innovation Lab. In this role, you’ll work at the center of a mission-driven product team exploring the frontier of intelligent systems. From sprint planning and stakeholder engagement to platform prioritization and real-world impact delivery—you’ll serve as the critical link between users, engineers, and researchers. This isn’t just product ownership—it’s a leadership opportunity within one of the most future-facing teams at MetroStar.
What you’ll do:
- Define and own the product roadmap, backlog, and sprint priorities for an R&D AI platform initiative focused on intelligent workflows and developer tools.
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, and AI researchers to deliver user-centered features that support agentic pipelines, LLM-powered tooling, and mission applications.
- Engage stakeholders and mission users to extract value propositions, shape user journeys, and translate insights into clear, actionable requirements.
- Track and report on product adoption, OKRs, KPIs, and pricing strategies, helping guide the platform’s long-term sustainability and impact.
- Drive iterative, agile delivery cycles, ensuring alignment with both mission outcomes and user needs.
- Act as a connector and communicator, translating complex technical concepts for executive leadership and integrating end-user feedback into product evolution.
What you’ll need to succeed:
- 5+ years of experience in product ownership, technical project management, or product strategy, ideally within AI, SaaS, or developer tooling environments.
- Strong familiarity with AI/LLM capabilities, including prompt engineering, model evaluation, and platform integration constraints.
- Understanding of developer workflows, DevOps, or ML engineering pipelines, and how to create tools that truly serve these audiences.
- Proven ability to communicate across disciplines and levels, from C-suite visionaries to engineers and frontline users.
- Exceptional organizational and prioritization skills, with a track record of delivering complex solutions on time and within scope.
- A mindset rooted in value delivery, continuous improvement, and execution agility.
- Secret clearance or the ability to obtain one.
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience developing pricing models, tiered offerings, or usage-based billing strategies for AI or developer-focused platforms.
Why this role matters:
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of product strategy and R&D innovation. Within the Innovation Lab, you’ll shape emerging technologies and translate experimentation into platform realities that transform how developers and mission teams interact with AI.
Let’s build the future—together.
