Senior Product Manager, Internal AI & Automation

Who We Are

At Apptegy, we are more than a tech company; we are partners dedicated to transforming how schools communicate and shape the future of education. Your work here will directly empower districts to share their stories, engage their communities, and celebrate student success. We’re a team of thoughtful, high-performing individuals committed to making a tangible impact. If you’re looking for a dynamic environment where you’ll be supported with exceptional mentorship and resources to grow your career, come build with us.

The Role

As Senior Product Manager, Internal AI & Automation, you will own the product layer of Apptegy’s internal AI function. You will work directly with leaders and teams across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Finance, People, and other parts of the business to identify high-value workflows where AI can materially improve how work gets done.

You will turn those opportunities into a focused roadmap, build and test the first working versions directly, and partner with our AI Ops Engineer to make the solutions reliable and scalable. You will own the product decisions, success metrics, rollout plans, and adoption of the tools you launch.

This is a senior individual contributor role on a lean, high-visibility team. You will be expected to move from ambiguity to action without waiting for a fully defined roadmap, make clear tradeoffs about where to focus, and stay close to the details of the workflows and tools you are changing. You will partner with the VP of Product and Chief Product and Technology Officer to translate company priorities into a practical portfolio of internal AI products, then help shape how this function grows over time.

Why You’ll Love This Job

As Senior Product Manager, Internal AI & Automation at Apptegy, you’ll get to build, really build. You’ll move from insight to a working V1, then partner with a dedicated AI Ops Engineer to turn what works into something the organization can rely on.

This is a new function with direct visibility to the VP of Product and Chief Product and Technology Officer. You will have meaningful ownership over what this team becomes, which workflows it takes on, and how Apptegy approaches internal AI over time.

Your work will be visible and measurable. You will work directly with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Finance, People, and other business teams, then see the tools you launch change how those teams work. You will not be managing a large portfolio or waiting for a fully defined roadmap. You will have the space to make clear choices, move quickly, and stay close to the problem, the users, and the outcome.

This is an opportunity to shape a practical internal AI function from the ground up, with enough support to scale what works and enough autonomy to define the path forward.

What You’ll Do

• Run rapid discovery across operational teams to identify high-value, repeatable workflows where AI can drive step-change improvements — not just incremental automation, but fundamentally different ways of working.
• Own V1 end-to-end: use LLM APIs, no-code, and low-code tools to get to a working prototype fast, validate it with real users, and prove out the value before investing in scale.
• Partner with your AI Ops Engineer to systematize what works — turning scrappy V1s into production-grade tools that are reliable, maintainable, and built to last.
• Treat internal teams as your clients — understand how they actually work, find the real friction, and build tools that earn a permanent place in their daily workflow.
• Redesign workflows from first principles — if AI handles the repetitive work, what does this role actually look like?
• Ship rollout plans and usage playbooks alongside every tool you launch, so adoption isn’t left to chance.
• Define success metrics for every tool you ship and own adoption within the teams using them.
• Maintain a visible backlog of automation opportunities, sequenced by business impact, and communicate priorities clearly to leadership.
• Stay current on the rapidly evolving AI and automation landscape and surface relevant tools, models, and patterns that could accelerate the work.

Who You Are

• 5-10 years of product management experience. Your résumé is full of things you built, not just things you planned.
• You are a systems thinker. You understand the people an agent serves and how their work actually flows: where decisions happen, where context gets lost, and wh…
