Bankrate is rebuilding itself with AI at the center. The AI Transformation Office decides what to build, ships it, and proves it changed the business. We're looking for a Senior AI Product Manager who is technical enough to build the prototype, not just spec it. You'll sit with our business teams in Human Resources, Marketing, and Commercial, find the highest-leverage problems, define the AI products that solve them, and often ship the first working version yourself. You report to the Head of AI Transformation. This is an individual-contributor role: a hybrid of technical builder and product leader, with no direct reports.

This is not a backlog-grooming, ticket-writing PM role. It's for someone who can open a notebook, wire up an API, and put a working prototype in front of a business team by the end of the week, then turn that prototype into a product people actually adopt. Slideware doesn't count. A roadmap nobody ships doesn't count. What counts is the product in production, the adoption behind it, and the business metric that moved.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the product end to end. Find the problem worth solving, define what to build and why, and drive it from prototype to production to adoption. You set the direction and you own the outcome, not the output.
• Prototype it yourself. You don't wait for an engineer to test an idea. You build the first working version, put it in front of real users, and learn fast. Working code beats a perfect spec.
• Translate business problems into AI products. Sit with HR, Marketing, and Commercial, learn how they actually operate, and turn messy problems into products with a clear thesis, a way to measure success, and a path to scale.
• Decide what not to build. Ruthless prioritization is the job. You kill low-value work, sequence the roadmap around leverage, and defend the focus when everyone wants everything.
• Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers. When a product outgrows a prototype, you hand engineering a sharp spec and a working reference, then stay close through production. You speak their language because you can build too.
• Measure what matters. Define the metric that proves the product changed the business, instrument it, and report against it. Usage is a leading indicator, not the goal.
• Move at the speed of the tools. Agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex), AI APIs, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), prototyping platforms (v0, Lovable, Replit), and automation layers (Zapier, n8n) are how you get from idea to working software in days. You keep up as they change

What We’re Looking For:

• 5 to 10 years of work experience, with real technical depth. You've shipped products and you can build them yourself. A background in data science or engineering is exactly what we're after, but the idea of owning a product end-to-end excites you. 
• You can actually build. You're comfortable in a notebook, with APIs, and with modern AI tooling. You've shipped working prototypes with your own hands, not just directed others to.
• AI-native to the core. You build with agents, models, and APIs as a default, and you have a real point of view on what these systems can and can't do.
• Product judgment. You know the difference between a feature and a product, and between motion and progress. You prioritize hard and defend the call.
• Outcome obsessed. You care about the business metric that moved, not the roadmap you shipped. You measure it and you own the number.
• A translator. You sit between non-technical business teams and technical builders and make both better. You bring clarity where there's ambiguity.
