Job Description:

 

Baker Tilly is seeking a Head of AI Product to establish and lead the product management function for our AI products and platforms. This leader will oversee product strategy and execution across three key areas: AI Agents and Agent Factory, Compass / Intelligence Platform, and the broader AI Platform.

Working closely with senior practitioners, engineering leaders, design, and executive leadership, this leader will translate business and practitioner needs into clear product strategies, roadmaps, and specifications that enable teams to build and launch high-impact AI solutions. This leader will own the product lifecycle from definition and prioritization through launch, adoption, and continuous improvement.

This leader will also build and develop a high-performing product management organization, establish product standards and operating rhythms, and help shape how Baker Tilly develops and scales AI-enabled products across the firm.

This is a hands-on product leadership seat: the Head of AI Product writes the product definitions personally and builds the function from there.

Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy, roadmap, and portfolio across AI Agents and Agent Factory, Compass / Intelligence Platform, and the AI Platform, partnering with business and technology leaders to establish priorities and measure value.
• Establish and lead the product definition process, including product requirements, specifications, prioritization, and acceptance criteria informed by evaluation results and user needs.
• Translate practitioner and business needs into scalable, buildable product solutions while balancing user experience, technical feasibility, business value, and speed to market.
• Partner closely with engineering, architecture, design, and domain leaders throughout the product lifecycle to ensure alignment from product definition through delivery.
• Lead product launches and adoption strategies in partnership with service lines, including practitioner rollout, enablement, adoption measurement, and feedback loops that inform future product development.
• Establish consistent product management practices and operating rhythms across teams in the U.S. and India.
• Build and lead the AI product management organization, including hiring, developing, and coaching senior product management talent and establishing standards for product excellence.
• Partner closely with design leadership to ensure product definition, user experience, and acceptance criteria are developed cohesively.
• Develop and communicate the product narrative to senior and executive leadership, clearly articulating what is being built, why it matters, and the value it creates.
• Evaluate the performance and value of products across the portfolio, using data, adoption insights, and business outcomes to inform investment and prioritization decisions.
• Engage and participate in special projects or complete other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree a plus.
• No certifications or licenses required.
• 15+ years of product management, including 5+ years leading product teams, with AI products shipped to production.
• Has built or re-founded a product management function — hired the PMs, set the standard, and made it stick.
• Exceptional written product definition craft — the PRD standard is the instrument of this organization, and the writing sample will be read.
• Has worked directly with domain experts and engineers simultaneously, and earned credibility with both in the same week.
• Technical fluency: reads architecture and evaluation results well enough to anchor acceptance criteria in them and to challenge an estimate.
• Has launched products into skeptical, expert user bases and won adoption; enterprise or B2B SaaS depth preferred.
• Has operated at executive scope — roadmap, portfolio, and narrative to senior leadership — without losing the craft.
• Demonstrates personal AI leverage: designs and builds with agentic tools as a force multiplier — the working standard for this team.
• AI product judgment: model-capability trends, human-in-the-loop design, trust and adoption dynamics.
• Evaluation literacy: baselines, regression, confidence — enough to write criteria engineers respect.
• Spec-driven development and AI-assisted product craft.
• Portfolio and prioritization discipline under ambiguity; value cases that survive finance.
• Professional-services domain empathy: how practitioners actually work, bill, review, and sign.
• Product organization building: hiring bars, PM career paths, definition cadences across time zones.

The pay range for this position is $250,000 to $350,000. This range represents a good-faith and reasonable estimate of the compensation the firm expects to pay for this position at the time of posting. Actual compensation will depend on a variety of relevant factors, including an applicant’s skills, experience, qualifications, professional certifications, work arrangements, geographic location, and other business and organizational needs. It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range, and compensation decisions depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. Baker Tilly offers a compensation and benefits package to eligible employees.
