Product Manager, Public Sector & Defence

Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.

We obsess over what we build. Each one of us is responsible for contributing to increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. We like to work hard and move fast to do what’s best for our customers.

Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.

Join us on our mission and shape the future!

Cohere is revolutionizing enterprise AI with North, an agentic AI platform designed to securely deploy AI agents and automations within organizations' infrastructure. North empowers employees to streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and unlock actionable insights while ensuring data privacy and compliance. North combines cutting-edge generative and search models with customizable integrations to drive productivity and innovation at scale.

We're looking for a Public Sector & Defence PM to own North's product strategy across Canadian public sector and defence accounts. This is a senior, customer-facing role that sits at the intersection of product, compliance, and vertical strategy.

You'll be the voice of government customers inside Cohere's product organization, translating the unique requirements of public sector deployments (data sovereignty, security classifications, accessibility, multilingualism) into concrete product investments. You'll work closely with our Strategic Customer, Engineering Program Management, Sovereign AI , and Forward Deployed Engineering teams to ensure North can meet the standards that regulated government environments demand.
