Director, Product Manager, AI at Nice

At NiCE, we don’t limit our challenges. We challenge our limits. Always. We’re ambitious. We’re game changers. And we play to win. We set the highest standards and execute beyond them. And if you’re like us, we can offer you the ultimate career opportunity that will light a fire within you. So, what's the role all about? NiCE is looking for a Director of AI Product Management to define and drive the vision for our next generation of AI-native solutions. This is a senior leadership role at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and execution — one that will shape how AI transforms enterprise CX at global scale. As Director, you will own the AI product strategy across NiCE's CX platform, leading the product management aspect and work hand-in-hand with engineering, data science, design, and go-to-market functions. You will be the voice of AI product leadership — influencing executive decisions, engaging enterprise customers, and ensuring NiCE stays definitively ahead of the market. You bring both strategic altitude and hands-on AI fluency: able to set a multi-year vision one hour and prototype a product concept the next.
