Specialist - Product Manager, AI and Automation

The Product Development & Innovation group is a key pillar within Nasdaq's Data business, responsible for creating differentiated, high‑quality data products and AI‑powered experiences that help clients make better decisions and drive measurable outcomes. We combine deep market expertise with modern data engineering, platform thinking, and AI to transform raw information into trusted, actionable insights. 

The Role

We are seeking a Product Manager, AI and Automation to define strategy and drive execution for a portfolio of intelligent automation and AI-driven capabilities across the Data business's internal operations and client-facing solutions. You will own the roadmap end-to-end - from discovery through launch and scale - and work hands-on with cross-functional teams to prototype, validate, and deliver automation workflows and AI-powered solutions that enhance productivity and create measurable impact. The ideal candidate combines product vision with technical depth in modern AI and orchestration, understands monetization and go-to-market strategies, and thrives in moving seamlessly between strategic planning and tactical execution. 

What You'll Do 

• Define strategy & roadmap for internal workflow automations and client-facing AI‑powered solutions 
• Lead discovery through market and client research; translate insights into clear problem statements, PRDs, and prioritized backlogs. 
• Partner with Technology, Data Engineering, and Data Science teams to design, prototype, and launch capabilities across data ingestion, normalization, enrichment, analysis, modeling, cataloging, search/discovery, and AI-driven user experiences. 
• Experiment actively with LLMs, agent-based workflows, and orchestration tools (e.g., n8n) to validate solution approaches quickly; establish an evaluation framework for quality, safety, and performance. 
• Drive go‑to‑market in partnership with Sales and Marketing; create collateral (docs, demos, presentations, white papers) and enable internal teams for successful launches. 

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of product management experience (or 5+ with strong technical depth) building data platforms, workflow automations, analytics, and/or AI‑powered products. 
• Recent hands‑on AI experience (last 2–3 years) driving solutions with LLMs and related tooling; familiarity with agent frameworks, RAG, vector search, evaluation techniques, and orchestration tools (e.g., n8n); familiarity with ML (e.g., classification, regression, deep learning, NLP, GAN, etc).
• Technical proficiency to collaborate effectively with engineering and data science: comfortable with concepts in Python/SQL, APIs, and cloud (e.g., AWS, Databricks, Spark, Redshift); able to prototype light workflows or notebooks when needed. 
• Outstanding communication and stakeholder management; proven success leading cross‑functional initiatives with executive visibility. 
• Education: Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics/Statistics, Finance, or related field required; advanced degree (MBA/MS) preferred.

Nice to Have

• Data product fundamentals — acquisition, normalization, metadata, lineage, SLAs, entitlements, usage metering, and telemetry.
• Capital markets knowledge (market data, reference data, trading, risk, research) is a strong plus. 
• Monetization experience — familiarity with pricing/packaging for enterprise data, APIs, platforms, or SaaS is a plus; ability to build business cases and scale successful use cases

This position offers the opportunity for a hybrid work environment (at least 3 days a week in office, subject to change), providing flexibility and accessibility for qualified candidates.
