Summary
Cornerstone OnDemand is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the delivery of AI-native products and enterprise outcome agents that drive measurable customer value.
This is a customer-facing AI-native product management role for a hands-on PM who can move quickly from customer discovery and requirements to working prototypes, using modern AI-native product development tools such as Lovable, Claude, Co-Pilot and similar platforms. The role requires close collaboration with customers, FDEs, engineering, and cross-functional teams to validate solutions early, iterate rapidly, and launch outcome agents that solve meaningful business problems.
The ideal candidate is highly execution-oriented, comfortable working in ambiguity, and able to translate customer needs into prototypes, product direction, and shipped capabilities with speed and rigor.
In This Role You Will

- Translate customer needs into clear product requirements, use cases, and solution concepts that can quickly be tested and refined.
- Build and evolve working prototypes using AI-native tools such as Lovable, Claude, Co-Pilot and similar rapid prototyping platforms to accelerate validation and shorten the path from idea to delivery.
- Turn customer specific outcome agents into re-sellable out-of-the box agents
- Use prototypes as the new PRD motion: move from customer discovery to working AI Agent prototypes that customers, FDE's and engineering can review, test, and refine.
- Collaborate closely with FDEs and engineering to iterate on prototypes, validate feasibility, refine user flows, and prepare solutions for launch.
- Work with customers, FDEs and engineering in tight feedback loops to improve prototypes, confirm value, and shape deliverable product capabilities.
- Drive cross-functional execution across product, engineering, design, data science, architecture, and go-to-market teams to bring validated concepts into production.
- Ensure launched outcome agents are practical, scalable, and easy for enterprise customers to adopt.
- Use customer feedback, adoption signals, and business-impact metrics to continuously improve product execution and outcomes.
