## Description

Elastic, the Search AI Company, is 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 evangelising 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, clarify product needs

- Building, socialising 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 evangelising 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 of experience in product management or solution delivery for technical, cloud infrastructure, or platform products. A consistent record of leading sophisticated, data-intensive products from inception through launch and iterative growth.

- AI and ML fluency: Deep technical understanding of the AI/ML landscape, including LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, and context engineering. You are comfortable working closely with engineers and data scientists to solve intricate technical challenges.

- Bias to action: You are able to move fast and quickly learn from experiments and tests. You utilise AI tools to help accelerate your processes and bring clarity to your decisions.

- Leadership and influence: Demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organisation, align multiple stakeholders toward a common vision, and drive execution in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.

- Communication excellence: Outstanding spoken and written communication skills. You can distill complex engineering details into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership.

- Customer obsession: A passion for industry trends and a commitment to solving real-world customer problems. You are an advocate for the developer persona and are dedicated to building products that empower users to innovate.
