About the Role

Dematic is seeking a Product Manager, Industrial AI & Operational Intelligence to define, deploy, and scale AI-driven capabilities within the Command Center platform. This role requires hands-on engagement across the full AI product lifecycle, from use-case discovery to commercialization, and demands technical, operational, and commercial credibility.

Responsibilities

  • Identify high-value AI opportunities across warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, automation, and industrial operations.
  • Translate customer pain points into well-defined AI use cases with clear hypotheses, success criteria, adoption paths, and ROI expectations.
  • Create and maintain a prioritized AI use-case roadmap based on customer value, technical feasibility, data readiness, commercial potential, and deployment complexity.
  • Define business requirements, product behavior, acceptance criteria, and operational KPIs for evaluating AI solutions in production.
  • Focus on operational outcomes such as throughput, labor productivity, order fulfillment, availability, downtime reduction, inventory performance, and exception resolution.
  • Guide product decisions and prioritize engineering work with AI engineers, scientists, software architects, UX designers, and platform teams.
  • Provide business context to technical teams to ensure models and user experiences address real operating problems.
  • Review solution outputs, recommendations, and analytics workflows for understandability, usability, and value to operational users.
  • Drive alignment between AI capabilities and Command Center product strategy.
  • Partner with engineering leadership to define release plans, pilot readiness criteria, deployment constraints, and support expectations.
  • Serve as the product lead during customer AI engagements, from discovery through pilot execution and production rollout.
  • Lead customer workshops to understand operational goals, constraints, data availability, and success criteria.
  • Explain the AI process to customers, including capabilities, limitations, recommendation generation, result review, and human oversight.
  • Review AI outputs with customers and stakeholders to refine use cases, improve trust, and identify product enhancements.
  • Support implementation teams with repeatable deployment playbooks, pilot plans, validation checklists, and adoption guidance.
  • Define validation frameworks for measuring model quality, recommendation usefulness, business impact, user adoption, and customer confidence.
  • Establish feedback loops from customer deployments to product, AI engineering, data engineering, and UX teams.
  • Help shape responsible AI practices for industrial deployments, including explainability, transparency, escalation paths, and human review.
  • Monitor deployed AI capabilities and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Position AI solutions as practical decision-support tools that augment customer operations.
  • Support sales, solution consulting, and commercial teams with customer-facing narratives, demonstrations, pilot proposals, and business cases.
  • Develop messaging that explains AI capabilities in operational terms for various customer stakeholders.
  • Collaborate on packaging, pricing, deployment models, and post-sale adoption approaches for Command Center AI capabilities.
  • Build referenceable customer stories, repeatable use-case patterns, and lessons learned from early deployments.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in product management, solution consulting, industrial software, operational excellence, automation, supply chain technology, or a related role.
  • 3+ years of direct experience managing software products involving AI, machine learning, advanced analytics, optimization, and generative AI.
  • Experience delivering technology solutions into industrial environments such as warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, material handling operations, or automated facilities.
  • Strong working knowledge of operational KPIs such as throughput, productivity, order fulfillment, downtime, availability, labor utilization, equipment performance, inventory accuracy, and exception management.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous business problems into structured use cases, product requirements, workflows, acceptance criteria, and measurable outcomes.
  • Strong customer-facing communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and build trust with skeptical customers.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional work across product, engineering, data science, implementation, sales, and customer teams.
  • Experience with WMS, WES, WCS, MES, industrial automation platforms, digital twins, industrial IoT, telemetry, or operational analytics platforms.
  • Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, ML models, MLOps, data pipelines, forecasting, anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, causal AI, and simulation.
  • Experience supporting pilots, proof-of-value programs, customer deployments, or post-sale adoption for enterprise software or industrial technology.
  • Ability to evaluate data readiness and identify practical constraints related to data quality, integration, latency, context, ownership, and operational interpretation.
  • MBA, engineering degree, supply chain degree, analytics degree, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Technically credible with AI engineers and software architects.
  • Operationally credible with warehouse, manufacturing, maintenance, IT, and automation leaders.
  • Commercially credible with customers, sales teams, and executive stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and turning early-stage AI concepts into deployable, repeatable product capabilities.
  • Able to balance innovation with customer trust, operational risk, explainability, and adoption readiness.
  • Focused on measurable business outcomes rather than AI terminology, demos, or technology for its own sake.
  • Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future sponsorship.
