LAYIQ - Director of Products (REMOTE) at Cyware, Remote

Help define product roadmap based on business leader’s strategy, competitive landscape and customer requirements.
Own the Product Management Lifecycle (PMLC) and Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC) end-to-end for your product area — from discovery, PRDs, and prioritization through delivery, launch, adoption, and end-of-life — with a strong bias for shipping iteratively.
Manage the development of current and future features, user stories, and requirements while evaluating their potential and practicality by analyzing customer needs. Drive rapid prototype development to validate hypotheses with customers and internal stakeholders before committing engineering cycles.

Liaise closely with the India-based Product Management and Engineering teams to align priorities, unblock delivery, and collaborate in roadmap and sprint decisions. Comfortable working across time zones with distributed teams.
Drive the implementation of AI-native product capabilities including model selection tradeoffs, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and measuring real analyst time-to-value.
Guide GTM & product marketing for segments, pricing etc. based on product capabilities, value proposition etc.
Drive the usability vision for the product and user interface designs.
Manage the entire product lifecycle from ideation, design, development, launch, end-of-life and migration.
Manage the product backlog and recommend alternative technical approaches to meet design requirements when needed.
Participate in development, testing, and deployment reviews to assure requirements are being properly addressed.

Product demonstration and training for the field, operational teams and critical customers.
