• Partner with peer product managers, engineering, and operations to translate the roadmap into prioritized requirements, acceptance criteria, and coordinated delivery plans.
• Engage internal and external customers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and ecosystem partners to validate LLM and agentic workflows and guide pilots toward reliable, supportable production deployments. Use relevant Customer Zero initiatives as one source of deployment evidence and product feedback.

• Evaluate build, buy, and partner options across the solution stack, establishing clear integration requirements and responsibilities with relevant teams.

• Partner with product marketing and sales to define target customers, articulate differentiated value, inform pricing and packaging decisions, and develop launch plans and sales enablement materials.
• Define and track adoption, time to production, workflow effectiveness, reliability, usability, and customer value.

• Use customer feedback and product performance evidence to refine priorities and improve the solution throughout its lifecycle.

• Product Strategy and Roadmap: A clear view of target customers, priority LLM and agentic workflows, differentiated value, and planned inference software capabilities, including dependencies on shared components, hardware, services, and partners.
• Prioritized Product Requirements: Requirements and acceptance criteria covering assigned inference software capabilities, enterprise controls, integration interfaces, and deployment needs, with workload requirements communicated to hardware and services owners.
• Validated Customer and Deployment Findings: Evidence from discovery, pilots, and production use that informs product decisions, including success criteria and barriers to adoption.
• Launch and Production Readiness Inputs: Product inputs covering integration dependencies, deployment and support requirements, partner responsibilities, positioning, and measures of success.

• A focused roadmap connects enterprise customer needs with HP’s Edge AI strategy and integrated solution capabilities.
• Customers move from AI experimentation and pilots into production deployments with clear operational and business value.
• Assigned inference software capabilities enable reliable, manageable LLM applications and agentic workflows in the intended deployment environments.
• Engineering, Go-to-Market, operations, and ecosystem partners share clear priorities, acceptance criteria, and delivery responsibilities.
• Product decisions are informed by adoption, customer feedback, task success, reliability, inference latency, and deployment cost, using measures appropriate to each solution.

• 10+ years of relevant experience, including substantial product management responsibility for enterprise software, AI software, developer tools, or infrastructure products, with demonstrated ownership of strategy, roadmaps, and delivery.
• Demonstrated experience delivering LLM-enabled applications or inference solutions, with technical fluency in model serving, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, tool use, evaluation, and failure handling.
• Experience defining requirements for model deployment and lifecycle management, including monitoring, versioning, updates, and supportability in enterprise environments.
• Understanding of local, on-premises, and hybrid deployment constraints, with the ability to translate workload needs into requirements for engineering and hardware partners.
• Working fluency with Python-based AI ecosystems, APIs, SDKs, and developer tooling, sufficient to evaluate integration and deployment approaches alongside engineering.
• Experience translating enterprise integration, security, privacy, and governance needs into product requirements.
• Experience collaborating with technology partners and peer product managers to deliver integrated solutions and manage shared dependencies.
• Strong analytical judgment and experience using customer feedback, deployment findings, and performance evidence to prioritize product improvements.
