Value Engineer (AI Product Manager)
Remote (US)
Role Purpose:
Envision the future state. The Value Engineer identifies what is worth building and why—quantifying outcomes, reimagining processes, aligning stakeholders, and doing light builds to validate ideas. They see the AI-enabled future before anyone else in the room does. They use AI tools directly to prototype concepts without needing full engineering support.
What Success Looks Like:
Frames a fuzzy business problem into a clear value opportunity independently.
Quantifies ROI and expected outcomes before a solution is built.
Builds lightweight prototypes using Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, or Bolt to validate ideas.
Aligns business, technology, governance, and delivery stakeholders.
Drives ideas from hypothesis to implementation and value realization.
Presents confidently to senior executives and handles pushback.
Required Capabilities:
Product Management: Technical PM, product discovery, hypothesis-driven thinking, prioritization, and MVP definition
Business & Consulting: Process transformation, business-case development, workshop facilitation, stakeholder alignment, executive communication, and design thinking
Value Engineering: ROI modelling, financial analysis, cost-benefit assessment, business metrics definition, and value-realization tracking
AI & Technology: Awareness of GenAI, AI agents, RAG architectures, AI-assisted development tools, rapid prototyping, and an understanding of AI capabilities and limitations
Light Build Capability: Builds lightweight prototypes using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Lovable, Replit, or Bolt—validating concepts without relying on engineering teams.
