About this role
AI-Native Product Manager, Operations Transformation (PMO)
The Work
Operations Transformation builds the next generation of internal operating solutions for Merkle — production-grade applications, automation, and data products that help Merkle's teams work better. That means custom internal applications that replace manual processes, workflow automations that take repetitive work off people's plates, data infrastructure that gives leadership a clearer picture of the business, and AI-powered solutions that change how our delivery and operational teams do their jobs.
As Product Manager, you'll own the product portfolio for one of these business functions — your specialization (see below). You'll be the person who engages daily with that function's stakeholders, identifies problems, and sets the portfolio roadmap — and the roadmaps of the products within it.
The role is AI-native by design. You will use frontier LLMs directly to draft documentation, requirements, briefs, and roadmaps, to explore UX and produce UI mockups, and to vibe-code prototype solutions yourself. It's a new role, created as the function rebuilds around outcome-oriented, AI-accelerated delivery, and it exists to put dedicated, AI-fluent product ownership between the business functions the team serves and the engineers who build for them.
Your Specialization
Specialization — PMO
You'll own the PMO product portfolio: the tools that centralize and modernize how projects and programs are managed across the business — portfolio governance, prioritization, and delivery health. Day to day you'll partner most closely with the PMO and delivery leads. Representative products: Helm (portfolio intake, scoring, and prioritization) and DX Project Health Automation. Domain depth in project or program management — enough fluency to improve how the PMO function operates, not to run the projects yourself — is a strong plus.
What You'll Own
Product Strategy & Roadmap
Own the roadmap for a function-aligned portfolio and the individual products within it, making the call on sequencing and trade-offs. Ultimate prioritization is set by committee through the team's governed intake; you will shape and defend the case that feeds it.
Compress the strategy-and-documentation cycle with AI — first-draft briefs, requirements, PRDs, and roadmaps generated with LLMs, then made decision-ready by product judgment.
