Director of Product Management
What is The Role
At Elastic, we believe that the power of search and analytics is the foundation for building compelling conversational AI experiences. As our Sr. Director of Product Management for Conversational AI, you will be the founding product leader responsible for defining, launching, and scaling a brand-new set of solution capabilities within Elastic. This is a unique opportunity to build something significant from the ground up, leveraging Elastic’s core strengths to enter a rapidly growing portion of the market. You'll report directly to the General Manager of Search, and work closely with engineering, design, marketing, and sales teams to bring this new solution to market.

Product Definition: Translate the product vision into detailed product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria. Prioritize features based on market opportunity, technical feasibility, and alignment with Elastic’s overall strategy.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead and inspire a high-performing team (initially small, but expected to grow), and work closely with engineering to plan the roadmap and identify dependencies on external teams.
Data Analysis & Iteration: Define key metrics for success and continuously monitor product performance. Use data to inform product decisions and drive iterative improvements.
Customer Engagement: Conduct user research, gather customer feedback, and build strong relationships with key customers to understand their needs and pain points.
What You Will Bring
10+ years of experience in Product Management, with a proven track record of successfully launching and scaling software products.
Direct experience specifically focused on Conversational AI, Chatbots, Virtual Assistants, or related technologies. Deep understanding of NLP/NLU, Search, and machine learning principles.
