Responsibilities

Responsible for the lifecycle of government-specific capabilities across Moody's AI agent and data platform portfolio, this role involves defining, demonstrating, building, and shipping solutions tailored to public sector missions.

It reflects how product management is evolving at Moody's. AI is at the heart of the work, from rapid prototyping with tools like Cursor and Claude Code to shaping intelligent features that change how government clients interact with data and analytics. The line between product and engineering is thinning, and this role leans into that shift.

Working directly in squads with engineers and domain experts, the focus is on translating government missions into shipped capabilities. The role also collaborates closely with Sales, Channel Partnerships, and Government Commercial Strategy teams, ensuring that solution decisions are informed by market signals, partner requirements, and customer feedback, and that what gets built aligns with go-to-market priorities and delivery channel realities across regions.

Solution Design & Customer Engagement

• Lead the solution roadmap for government-specific capabilities, including AI agents for investigation, sanctions screening, and due diligence for public-sector entities.
• Partner with pre-sales on customer engagements, leading technical discovery sessions, solution workshops, and whiteboarding discussions to understand government missions, workflows, and operational challenges. Translate these into prioritized product specifications.
• Use AI tools such as Cursor and Claude Code to rapidly prototype solutions, validate hypotheses, demonstrate feasibility and accelerate delivery.
• Partner with engineering to scope, build, and ship features, maintaining accountability for delivery timelines and quality.

Solution Discovery & Validation

• Drive solution discovery for government use cases through direct customer engagement, POCs, and design sprints that validate fit before committing engineering resources.
• Develop and deliver tailored demonstrations and solution narratives that articulate value to government audiences.
• Translate market signals, customer insights, and regulatory requirements into actionable product priorities, partnering with Strategy and Commercial teams who surface these inputs.
• Ensure responsible AI deployment practices, governance documentation, and compliance standards specific to government requirements.

Delivery & Iteration

• Lead solution delivery from concept through production, working embedded with engineering teams rather than handing off requirements.
• Monitor solution performance, usage metrics, and customer outcomes for government deployments, iterating based on data.
• Document solution architectures, configurations, and best practices to enable repeatability and scale across public-sector customers.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Champion the AI-First mindset across the government segment, identifying opportunities to embed AI into workflows and helping colleagues adopt new ways of working.
• Align with Government Commercial Strategy on delivery channel requirements, market intelligence, and go-to-market priorities.
• Work with Channel Sales Partnerships and partner ecosystem to ensure solution capabilities meet partner-led deal requirements.
• Provide domain expertise on government missions, procurement realities, and regulatory constraints to broader solution builder teams.
