About the Role:

As an AI Agent Product Manager, you will create, deploy and optimize AI Agents that transform our customers’ businesses and delight their customers. This highly cross-functional and customer-facing role blends product thinking, a nose for value, and project leadership with senior customer executives. At the end of the day, you own each AI Agent and the outcomes they drive for our customers, and you take that personally. You are a creative, pragmatic problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments, rolls up your sleeves to build, and excels at turning ambiguity into execution.

In this role, you’ll partner with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who will support the build, integrations and optimization to make each AI Agent successful. You’ll also work closely with product and engineering, providing a tight feedback loop and custom tooling that will shape the future of our platform.

What You’ll Do:

• Own AI Agent outcomes for our customers — defining and delivering on the metrics that move the needle. This includes finding additional automation opportunities that can provide even more value! To do this, you’ll…
• Own the deployment lifecycle for AI Agents — from scoping and kickoff to launch and post-go-live optimization
• Design, build, test and iterate on AI agents in partnership with FDEs using Cresta’s internal tools and the latest technologies to deliver the highest customer ROI
• Lead customer relationships and act as the primary point of contact for AI Agent. Help customers move faster to ensure we can deliver quickly and effectively.
• Facilitate workshops and design sessions with customer stakeholders to align on agent use cases, workflows, and success criteria
• Work closely with FDEs to ensure smooth implementation, build new capabilities as needed and provide feedback and improvements to our broader platform
• Improve our playbooks for agent development and customer deployment

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in Technology Consulting, Implementations, Product, or Customer Success roles, ideally working closely with AI or LLM first products
• Hands-on work style – curiosity with a bias for action. You anticipate needs and bottlenecks and deliver with urgency and care.
• Experience leading complex deployments, owning customer relationships (including senior customer stakeholders), and working cross-functionally
• Strong technical understanding, systems thinking and exposure to building Agents (not necessarily conversational, personal projects count!)
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and learning quickly in a dynamic startup environment
• Passion for AI, automation, and shaping the future of customer experience

Bonus Points:

• Background in product management, conversation design or forward deployed engineering roles
• Experience in a startup or high-growth SaaS environment
• Familiarity with customer support and contact center operations

Perks & Benefits:

• We offer Cresta employees a variety of medical, dental, and vision plans, designed to fit you and your family’s needs
• Flexible vacation time to promote a healthy work-life blend
• Paid parental leave to support you and your family
• Monthly Gym & Phone allowance
• Work from home office stipend to help you succeed in a remote environment.
• Lunches and dinners included for in-office employees via Grubhub

Compensation:

Compensation for this position includes a base salary, equity, and a variety of benefits. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable.
