Open role
[Remote] Forward Deployed Product Manager
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Caylent is hiring a Forward Deployed Product Manager for its Anthropic Consulting and Engineering practice. The role leads product workstreams in client engagements, helping organizations redesign product development for AI-assisted workflows, shape prototypes, and coach product teams. It also contributes to Caylent’s agentic product tools and delivery methodologies.
Responsibilities
- On enterprise transformation programs, lead the product workstream end-to-end: assess how client product teams operate today, design the future-state PDLC, and coach PMs through the shift from spec authors to strategic orchestrators of AI-assisted development
- On prototype and build-enable engagements, anchor the product side: run discovery with client stakeholders, shape the delivery backlog into a signed Sprint Charter, and write the specs that drive prototype and MVP development
- Design PM training curricula and lead enablement sessions throughout engagements, using real delivery work as session material
- Surface expansion opportunities during delivery: by the close of each engagement, you have a clear view of what the client's product org needs next
- Help define and refine the product-facing agents Caylent deploys across engagements: idea consolidation, spec generation, PM workflow automation, and the product side of advanced agent prioritization
- Provide field feedback that sharpens agent design, prompt configuration, and the scoping frameworks that determine where agentic tooling fits in client environments
- Co-own the product spec artifacts that define how Caylent's IP gets built and evolved across the practice
- Turn PDLC patterns from the field into improvements to product workstream methodology, scoping frameworks, and future-state design templates
- Support pre-sales conversations where product definition, sprint structure, or PDLC maturity assessment is part of the qualification
Skills
- 7+ years of product management experience, including meaningful time in a client-facing, embedded, or consulting role
- Experience working directly with product teams on how they work: their discovery processes, PDLC design, and spec practices
- Experience or demonstrated capability in the use of Agentic AI to facilitate product management activities
- Strong facilitation: you run working sessions with product and engineering stakeholders, extract useful signal from ambiguous input, and drive toward a signed-off decision
- Able to write clean, executable specs, both for your own engagement deliverables and as a model for clients you're coaching
- Technical fluency to scope prototypes with engineers: you can discuss architectural feasibility, participate in spec-to-build handoffs, and hold your own in an architecture lock session
- Current legal authorization to work in the country where this position is located
- Not able to sponsor visa or work permit applications at this time
- Background in professional services, management consulting, or an embedded advisory role
- Experience redesigning how a product function works inside another organization, not just producing recommendations
- Familiarity with AI-native product workflows: spec-driven development, LLM-assisted requirements generation, or agentic product tooling
- Experience with PE portfolio company environments or enterprise engineering organizations navigating modernization
- Hands-on familiarity with Claude Code or equivalent AI-assisted development tooling
