Forward Deployed Product Manager

Demonstrable experience as a senior Product Manager in a digital consultancy, product organization, or embedded-team environment, with a track record of shipping production software, not just running discovery.

Product is your deep specialty, but you have enough hands-on experience in engineering and UX design to be a contributor in these spaces, not just conversant.

You can read and reason about code, prototype an interaction in Figma, and hold your own in technical and design trade-off conversations.

Proven experience taking AI or ML solutions from concept into production, not just pilot.

You understand why most AI pilots never reach production, and you have direct experience navigating the people, process, and governance problems that cause it.

Hands-on fluency with modern AI tooling across the SDLC: AI-assisted requirements and synthesis, prototyping with tools like Figma Make or Claude, AI-accelerated development pairing with engineers, agent evaluation frameworks, and the practical judgment to know what's production-ready and what isn't.

Forward Deployed Product Manager

at Valtech you embed inside a small, senior FDE pod and lead the redesign of how AI shows up in your client's business.

You sit alongside your client, learn the real workflow, and build the experience that turns AI investment into outcomes that stick.

You're a T-shaped product leader: deep in product craft, dangerous in engineering and UX.

You can read a system architecture and challenge a technical trade-off.
