Job Description

You are a seasoned professional with 10+ years of experience in product management or product strategy, preferably in AI/ML, governance, or enterprise platform domains. You have a successful track record in launching complex technical products in large-scale environments and managing cross-functional product teams effectively. Your expertise lies in defining and delivering capabilities that meet both regulatory requirements and business objectives. As the Principal Product Lead for the Responsible AI (RAI) Platform at Cognizant, your role is pivotal in shaping the product strategy, roadmap, and capabilities that align Responsible AI principles with practical and scalable solutions. You will navigate between internal integration of existing intellectual property and collaboration with R&D, engineering, and framework teams, while also focusing externally on competitive positioning, client value, and industry research alignment. Your responsibilities include defining the product vision for Cognizant's Responsible AI platform, translating governance needs into platform features, and prioritizing tooling requirements such as bias detection, explainability support, compliance monitoring, and risk assessment tools. You will champion a user-first design philosophy to make complex governance requirements intuitive and actionable, collaborating with design teams to create tailored interfaces for various stakeholders. Collaboration with Solution Architects to ensure seamless implementation of RAI capabilities across different client environments, working with marketing and business units to craft product messaging, and staying abreast of emerging trends in Responsible AI tooling are also key aspects of your role. Your strategic mindset, coupled with strong user research skills and cross-functional stakeholder engagement, will be instrumental in driving the evolution of Cognizant's RAI platform as an internal enabler and client-facing differentiator. To excel in this role, you should possess a solid understanding of AI/ML systems, development workflows, and associated risks, as well as knowledge of governance-aligned product domains such as explainability, fairness, privacy, and auditability. An advanced degree in Computer Science, Product Management, AI Ethics, or a related field, along with certifications in product management or responsible technology governance, will be advantageous. Experience in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, or the public sector is also beneficial for this position. If you are looking for a challenging opportunity to drive innovation, build scalable solutions, and shape the future of Responsible AI, this role at Cognizant offers a dynamic platform for your expertise and leadership.,
