Job Description:

What we're building

We're building AI agents that do real work for Baker Tilly's tax, assurance, and advisory teams. They read client files, find risks and opportunities, draft financial statement disclosures, and show their sources, and a practitioner always makes the final call. The data is some of the most sensitive in the business, so we build security in from the start.

Baker Tilly is the sixth-largest accounting and advisory firm in the U.S., with more than 11,000 people, and the firm is investing seriously in AI. We're a small team at the start of that work, and the people who join now will help decide what we build and how.

As a Senior Product Manager, you'll own an agent or product area from discovery to launch. You'll work with practitioners and experts to find the work worth taking on, decide what good looks like, and help engineers ship it.

What you'll work with

•  Years of client engagement history, tax returns, and financial records, at the scale of a major firm.

•  Tax, audit, and advisory practitioners who help define what good looks like and review what the agents produce.

•  Real users inside the firm who give direct feedback on what you build.

•  We work in partnership with frontier labs.

•  A mix of building and buying. You'll help decide which is which, and everything we ship meets the same standards for security, tracing, and testing.

•  Engineers who build with AI tools every day and ship through a code factory more and more.

What you'll do

•  Own the roadmap for an agent or product area, from the first conversation with practitioners through launch and beyond.

•  Spend time with practitioners and experts to find the work worth taking on, and decide where the agent should help and where a person should decide.

•  Write down, with the experts, what good looks like: clear requirements, success measures, and the examples agents get tested against.

•  Use usage data, evaluation results, and traces to see where agents fall short, and decide what to fix next.

•  Work side by side with engineers to scope, prioritize, make tradeoffs, and ship in small steps.

•  Work with security, legal, and risk partners to get new data and use cases approved, and build the rules into the product from the start.

•  Launch to practitioners with pilots, training, and feedback loops, and track adoption.

•  Help decide what to build and what to buy.

•  Use AI tools extensively for research, analysis, prototyping, and writing, and help the team do the same.

Who you are

•  You're a hands-on product person who has shipped things people actually use, ideally end to end, from the first conversation with users through launch and after.

•  You're naturally curious, a strong problem solver, and a clear communicator.

•  You can take an objective, form an opinion, and move things forward on your own, even when the path is unclear.

What you bring

•  8+ years in product management preferred, shipping software people use. We look at the scope you've owned.

•  Strong product management fundamentals: discovery, prioritization, clear requirements, and measuring results.

•  Strong product thinking, and the ability to connect what we build to real user and business needs.

•  You make roadmap decisions with data, and you're comfortable getting into the numbers yourself.

•  You've worked closely with engineers and designers, and you can explain a tradeoff clearly.

•  You've worked directly with customers or domain experts.

•  You use AI tools extensively, and you have opinions about what works.

•  You see "is this allowed?" as a design input that shapes the solution.

•  A bachelor's degree is required

Nice to have

•  Experience with AI features, and with reading traces or evaluation results to decide what to fix.

•  Enterprise products, data with strict access rules, or regulated and professional-services settings.

•  Familiarity with tax, audit, or financial reporting work.

In a year

•  A messy problem has become an agent practitioners use every week, and you can show the results.

•  Engineers and practitioners both know why we're building what we're building.

•  Decisions about what to fix come from data and traces.
