Job Overview
The Senior AI Product Manager shapes and leads the firm’s most complex and strategically significant enterprise AI products and reusable AI capabilities serving multiple products, business domains, customer experiences, and enterprise workflows.
This role treats AI as the product and owns strategy, discovery, prioritization, adoption, lifecycle management, and measurable outcomes. Operating with significant autonomy, the Senior Lead sets product direction and ensures scalable AI solutions create measurable value.
This role may be accountable for one or more strategic AI product or capability domains. Based on organizational priorities, customer needs, and business strategy, these domains may enable AI creation and adoption; deliver AI-powered experiences; provide trusted information and intelligence; drive automation and decision support; or ensure governance, reliability, and operations.
Products and services may evolve over time and can include models, agents, skills, functions, tools, knowledge assets, retrieval capabilities, builder experiences, low-code solutions, platform capabilities, governance services, observability capabilities, and other emerging AI technologies.
The role influences strategy across interconnected AI products, helps shape enterprise AI direction, and advises business, technology, product, risk, and operational leaders. You will partner across Engineering, Data, Product Management, Architecture, Experience, Risk, and Business areas to deliver customer and business value while ensuring capabilities are scalable, reusable, explainable, measurable, and aligned with responsible AI practices.
The Senior AI Product Manager also strengthens AI Product Management across the organization through product leadership, coaching, mentoring, collaboration, and advancement of best practices.
What You’ll Do
- Set the vision, value proposition, outcomes, priorities, and roadmap for strategic AI products and capability domains.
- Translate customer needs and business priorities into scalable AI product strategies, investment recommendations, product outcomes, requirements, evaluation criteria, and prioritized work.
- Identify opportunities, dependencies, risks, overlaps, and tradeoffs across interconnected AI products and capabilities.
- Own strategic AI products across the lifecycle, from discovery and launch through adoption, optimization, and retirement.
- Define customers, use cases, value propositions, success measures, constraints, service expectations, and lifecycle plans.
- Lead continuous discovery to identify customer problems, unmet needs, reusable patterns, and high-value AI opportunities.
- Test product hypotheses through research, prototypes, experiments, evaluations, proofs of concept, and pilots. Use customer evidence, product data, technical findings, and business measures to recommend whether to pursue, change, scale, pause, or stop an opportunity.
- Define the product experience, including AI behavior, data and knowledge needs, integrations, human oversight, controls, monitoring, and support.
- Partner with Engineering, Data, AI Science, Architecture, Cybersecurity, Experience, and Business teams to evaluate options, challenge assumptions, identify dependencies, and make informed tradeoffs.
- Promote reusable, interoperable patterns across models, agents, skills, knowledge assets, workflows, platforms, and governance capabilities.
- Recognize and address AI limitations and risks, including unreliable outputs, bias, data leakage, inappropriate actions, security threats, model drift, and workflow failure.
- Define and monitor measures for customer value, business outcomes, adoption, reuse, quality, reliability, cost, operational performance, scalability, and risk.
- Embed responsible AI, privacy, security, legal, regulatory, accessibility, records, and model-risk requirements throughout the product lifecycle. Define intended uses, limitations, potential misuse or harm, data sensitivity, autonomy, access, human oversight, controls, and escalation paths.
- Communicate product outcomes, health, risks, assumptions, dependencies, tradeoffs, and lessons learned to senior technical and nontechnical leaders and stakeholders; serve as a trusted advisor on complex AI opportunities and decisions.

Jeff Allen
Financial Advisor – Tacoma, WA
I was transitioning away from a career I worked so hard for, but when I asked myself what mattered the most to me and the value of my work, it was the people I was helping. When I came across Edward Jones it was the perfect fit. I liked the idea of running my own business but not having to worry about the logistics of location, real estate, etc.
Nanette Fahrenbruch – Former Attorney
Financial Advisor with Edward Jones since 2000 – Lakewood, CO
You don’t have to have a financial background. Some of us have sales backgrounds, but some of us were teachers or engineers. I think that as long as you’re willing to work hard and have the resiliency to get through building your business, you can be successful.

Bring your skills and
experience here.
We’ll find a place to put
them to work.
Tech? HR? Marketing? Operations? You’ve got the skills. We’ve got the team. We are a large firm with many areas of expertise but each division is small enough for you to make an impact. And you can test the waters in other areas. We encourage it. Learning new skills and gaining leadership experience along the way.

#1 Your performance drives your compensation – and we won’t limit it with earning caps. Not now, not ever.
#2 Our compensation is competitive and multi-faceted. Commissions and trimester bonuses – based on individual branch and firm profitability – make up the bulk of your variable income. But your total payout may include travel awards and profit sharing. And the opportunity to be rewarded for transitioning client relationships to financial advisors looking to grow.
#3 Our compensation is simple and transparent. We make it easy to understand how you are rewarded and strive to minimize grid changes. You know exactly what to expect and how to impact your results.
Our partnership structure frees you to focus on your clients.

And it’s easy for us to do. Because we have no competing interests. No shareholders clamoring for short-term profits. We can take the long view, because we only answer to our clients. And to ourselves. Our financial advisors find this single-minded focus freeing. A clear mandate for success. And a clear path to get there.
