At Robots & Pencils, we build meaningful, scalable digital products that solve real business problems. We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to work embedded within cross-functional delivery teams, owning product execution across complex digital platforms.
About the role
Robots & Pencils has been engaged by a major online university to stand up an integrated AI Pod — an embedded, cross-functional delivery team building and deploying AI-enabled systems across institutional workflows. This is a high-visibility, high-velocity engagement with a client that is serious about AI transformation and moving fast.
The pod operates as both a delivery unit and a reference model. What gets built here — the systems, the practices, the documentation patterns — becomes the blueprint the university replicates as it scales AI across the institution.
We are looking for a strong Product Manager to serve as the operational core of the pod. This person will translate institutional priorities into executable sprint work, own stakeholder engagement, drive delivery decisions, and progressively build the client's internal product ownership capability over the course of the engagement. The role requires someone who is comfortable working in an embedded co-delivery model, can move quickly without a fully defined scope, and has hands-on experience with AI-enabled product development.
