Our leadership includes CEO Ping Wu, the co-founder of Google Contact Center AI & Vertex AI platform, and co-founder Tim Shi, an early member of Open AI in 2017. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Sequoia, and former AT&T CEO John Donovan.

Our valued customers include brands like Airbnb, United Airlines, Hilton, Porsche, United Healthcare, Intuit, Cox Communications, and Carmax and we've been recognized by Forbes, Forrestor, and Bain Consulting as one of the top private AI companies in the world.

About The Role

As an Associate Forward-Deployed Product Manager on the AI Agents team, you will create, deploy, and optimize AI Agents that transform our customers' businesses and delight their customers. This customer-facing role blends product thinking, prompt engineering, data-driven insights, and project leadership with Strategic & Fortune 500 companies.

In this role, you'll collaborate with senior Forward-deployed Product Managers and Forward-deployed Engineers (FDEs) to support the build of AI Agent products.

What You'll Do

  • Drive AI Agent deployments for customers across the lifecycle from pre-sales to post-launch optimization
  • Define AI roadmaps for the customer's executive team by blending both quantitative analysis and qualitative insights; leverage automated conversation discovery tools in addition to traditional data analysis
  • Iterate prompt & context engineering to achieve customer's use case and intended business outcomes
  • Own designing and running evaluations and A / B tests of AI Agents with Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs) using Cresta's agent builder and beta internal tools
  • Improve our playbooks for agent development and customer deployment

  • Develop multiple functional strengths as a super-generalist : work on projects that give experience across multiple teams, including go-to-market, engineering, product, customer success, and more
  • Investment & Mentorship :
  • Mentorship from PMs who have been building GenAI solutions since GPT-2, as well as from Microsoft, TikTok, consulting firms, and start-ups
  • Launching pad for your learning and career, we take that seriously as a company in scoping opportunities
  • What We're Looking For

    You are a pragmatic, results-oriented problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and excels at turning ambiguity into execution.

    What you'll bring :

  • Experience in a startup or high-growth SaaS environment
  • Experience working closely with AI or LLM-first products
  • Technical understanding, systems thinking and exposure to building Agents (not necessarily conversational, personal projects count!)
  • Perks & Benefits

    We offer a comprehensive and people-first benefits package to support you at work and in life :

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with plans to fit you and your family
  • Flexible PTO to take the time you need, when you need it
  • Paid parental leave for all new parents welcoming a new child

In addition to base pay, total compensation includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package for you and your family.

    Salary Range : $110,000$145,000 + Bonus & Offers Equity

    We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Cresta recruiting email communications will always come from the @cresta.ai domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Cresta via other sources should be ignored. If you are uncertain whether you have been contacted by an official Cresta employee, reach out to recruiting@cresta.ai
