Description
We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to guide the vision, strategy, and execution for the Elastic Agent Builder. As organisations shift from traditional data retrieval to autonomous, agentic workflows, the Agent Builder serves as the critical context layer that enables users to make Agents faster, lower cost, and more accurate.
In this high-impact role, you will be responsible for defining how enterprises build, manage, and scale context for AI agents. You will work at the cutting edge of the AI ecosystem, working with senior leadership and partnering with hyperscalers and evangelizing our solutions to a global community of AI developers.
Key responsibilities include:
- Working directly with enterprise customers, sales teams, and solution architects to understand requirements, negotiate priorities, and clarify product needs
- Building, socializing, and aligning a roadmap for core context engineering capabilities built on top of Elastic-powered retrieval and relevance for AI Agents
- Deeply understanding the AI Agent market, major players, trends, and how it may impact our strategy
- Working directly with data science and engineering to build out the strategy for benchmarking and evaluations of agent capabilities
- Working with design to build user experiences that address gaps in how agents show and refine context as they work
- Being the product expert and evangelizing capabilities for Agent Builder through content like blog posts and open-source projects
- Working with a broad ecosystem of AI partners, including cloud service providers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) and community developers
To succeed in this role, you will need:
- Extensive experience (10+ years) in product management or solution delivery for technical, cloud infrastructure, or platform products
- AI and ML fluency, including deep technical understanding of the AI/ML landscape, including LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, and context engineering
- Bias to action, with the ability to move fast and quickly learn from experiments and tests
- Leadership and influence, with demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organisation, align multiple stakeholders towards a common vision, and drive execution in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
- Communication excellence, with outstanding spoken and written communication skills
- Customer obsession, with a passion for industry trends and a commitment to solving real-world customer problems
This role is eligible to participate in Elastic's stock program and offers a competitive salary range of $154,000-$243,600 CAD, with a company-matched Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and a range of other benefits.
