Applied AI Product Manager (Forward Deployed)

How do you turn a quarter-end close that still runs on spreadsheets into something an agent handles overnight? Help a contact centre answer faster and better without adding headcount? Turn a 200-page regulatory change into a plain-English checklist a compliance team can act on by Monday morning?

Get an AI system to read a backlog of contracts and surface only what actually matters? That’s the work. EPAM’s Applied AI exists to put frontier AI to work inside real businesses - sitting with clients, from the CTO to the people doing the actual job, and turning ambitious, often fuzzy goals into AI solutions that ship and create real value.

The work runs from helping a workforce use AI well, to rebuilding a whole process around agents, to launching brand-new AI-native products. We’re looking for an Applied AI Product Manager (Forward Deployed) to own that journey - from the first messy conversation to a live system that earns or saves real money. It’s hands-on and client-facing: you’re the client’s main point of contact, you decide what gets built and why, you run delivery through to a working system, and you prototype solutions yourself rather than handing every idea off.

You hold the why and the what; engineering, data and architecture build alongside you for production scale.

Build, don’t just brief. Prototype working AI solutions and demos yourself, with modern tooling, to prove the idea in pre-sales and get to value fast Own the client relationship. Be the day-
