Product Strategy

Product Strategy roles at AI companies sit upstream of day-to-day product management, focused on longer-horizon questions: what markets to enter, how to segment customers and price the product, what the competitive position should be, and which new product opportunities are worth pursuing. The day-to-day spans market and competitive research, customer segmentation work, GTM strategy and launch planning, and the analytical work behind pricing, packaging, and positioning decisions. Some companies use this title for senior product leaders responsible for strategic roadmap; others use it for cross-functional strategists who partner with product management on market-level questions rather than owning specific products. These roles typically sit within product, strategy, or GTM functions, partnering with product management, marketing, sales, and finance on the decisions that shape the company's medium-term direction.
