About the role
This is a foundational hire — Scribd's first product management role pointed inward, with the company itself as the customer. You'll lead Scribd's AI transformation, with the developer platform as the center of gravity: helping define the agentic engineering stack and shaping the evolution of the developer & agentic experience at Scribd. From that foundation, you'll extend the same thinking outward — partnering with Product, Design & Research, Data & Analytics, and TPM as they redesign their own work around AI agents, and guiding the internal app and agent platforms that every function depends on. To do this well, you'll spend real time with developers and eng teams — understanding how they work today, where the friction lives, and what the next leap looks like for them. You'll lead the product strategy for developer experience and how we measure it — quantitatively and qualitatively. You'll bring the same lens to the parallel transitions in other functions at Scribd. Across all of it, your job is to help us adopt AI thoughtfully and prove its impact — not to scale AI generation for its own sake, but to make every function more capable and more confident in the outputs. This role reports to the Director, Developer Platform, and partners closely with Engineering and Product leadership.
What you'll bring
- You are energized by hard, ambiguous, cross-functional problems where the technology landscape is moving faster than ever, adoption is uneven across functions, and the platform is actively evolving as it ships.
- You have spent enough time close to engineering to reason about platforms, APIs, and agent systems on their own terms — and enough time across functions to know that adoption is a people problem at least as much as a technical one.
- You are comfortable being the first PM in a new domain, defining the role as you go with no pre-existing playbook to inherit.
- You are all-in on AI reshaping every kind of knowledge work across a company, and you have already been applying it to your own.
- You think in systems and feedback loops, and you see the difference between how work happens on paper and how it actually gets done.
- You'd rather ship and learn than wait for perfect, reserving real caution for the rare decisions that you can't easily reverse.
- 7+ years of product management experience, with notable focus owning developer tooling, AI platforms, or internal productivity tools
- Demonstrated success owning ambiguous, cross-functional product surfaces end-to-end — defining the strategy, sequencing the work, and shipping with engineering partners — without a pre-existing playbook
- Hands-on experience shipping real products with modern AI/LLM primitives — prompting, evals, tool use, agentic workflows, MCP, plugin or skill ecosystems, or comparable concepts.
- You have built things with these primitives, not just written PRDs about them
- Strong technical fluency to match.
- You can hold your own with engineers on system design, API tradeoffs, evaluation methodology, and agent architectures
