In This Role, You Will:

Strategic Product Leadership

• Own your domain roadmap tied to measurable OKRs—define strategy, drive outcomes, and hold the line on scope discipline.
• Run structured Problem & Solution Discovery before committing to build; validate with leadership, customers, and cross-functional partners.
• Drive Go-To-Market readiness end-to-end: from inception through launch, adoption, and post-release success measurement.

• Embed AI as a default lens across every phase of product management—champion AI-native processes within your team.
• Own end-to-end development of AI-powered features, including evals and measurable outcome tracking.
• Leverage AI tooling to improve your PM workflow; model and share productivity gains with the broader team.
• Participate in AI forums; work toward defining team-level AI processes and contributing sessions or case studies.
• Ensure all AI features meet Cvent's responsible AI standards.

Execution Excellence & Platform Health

• Drive delivery accountability: sprint hygiene, backlog depth health, SLI/SLO monitoring, and prod bug leakage.
• Define strategy to reach OKRs, NPS, and key product metrics; socialize alignment to  business goals with leadership.
• Make data-driven prioritization decisions using Mixpanel, ProductBoard, Sigma, and similar platforms.
• Write crisp, unambiguous product specs and user stories with full acceptance criteria before sprint start.

Stakeholder Influence & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead multi-stakeholder alignment across Sales, CS, Engineering, UX, and Leadership—with 360° feedback collected mid-year and annually.
• Present roadmap progress and risks clearly to leadership; no stakeholder should be chasing you for an update.
• Influence without authority—build alignment at all levels of the organization through trust, clarity, and data.

People Development & Team Capability

• Mentor junior PMs through structured 1:1s, skill development plans, and goal alignment—hold the bar on accountability.
• Build AI competency within your squad: assess baseline, design a learning path, and track adoption.
• Identify and create stretch opportunities for high performers; drive adoption of Cvent processes and tools.
• Contribute to improvements and a culture of continuous learning within the PM org.

Here's What You Need:

• 12–15 years of experience with 7+ years in product management for technology products.
• Demonstrated experience building or shipping AI-powered products; hands-on proficiency with AI tools is required.
• Proficiency with analytics platforms (Mixpanel, Gainsight PX, Pendo, or similar) to measure and drive adoption.
• Strong product sense: can define strategy, articulate the "why," and translate ambiguity into clear roadmaps.
• Solid grasp of software development, integrations, and system design—able to earn deep technical credibility.
• Track record of mentoring PMs and elevating team capability, not just individual execution.
• Exceptional communicator and influencer—comfortable driving alignment across C-suite, engineering, and customers.
• Analytical, data-driven, and energized by complexity in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
