Requirements

We're looking for a Lead Product Manager, Enterprise AI and Automation to define how Marqeta identifies, governs, and scales AI and automation across the organization, focusing on the internal enterprise platform and employee-facing tooling to drive value across Marqeta’s internal operations and employee experience.

You'll collaboratively design the AI vision for the enterprise, partner to build the governance and adoption frameworks that make it real, and work hands-on to evaluate tools, run pilots, and drive measurable business value.

You'll partner closely with business unit leaders, the AI Steering Committee, and BT engineering to ensure AI initiatives are prioritized against the highest-impact problems — and that what gets built is driven to adoption.

The right person is equally comfortable presenting an AI governance framework to the executive team and rolling up their sleeves to configure an agent, evaluate a vendor, or run a pilot with a business unit.

Enterprise AI & Automation Strategy

Collaboratively define Marqeta's Enterprise AI & automation strategy, including responsible AI principles, governance frameworks, and a multi-quarter adoption roadmap.

Partner across the business to identify and prioritize high-value AI and automation use cases for each business unit.

Partner with Architecture Review Boards and AI Steering Committee to ensure all AI platforms and solutions adhere to defined IT standards and governance frameworks.

Prioritize the AI portfolio strategically against business outcomes and executive guidance — and hold the line on priorities to ensure engineering time is focused on the highest-impact work.

Evaluate emerging AI technologies and conduct pilots to validate applicability and business value before committing to scale.

Stay current on the rapidly evolving AI landscape — tools, models, and platforms shift constantly, and this role requires continuous learning to ensure Marqeta's strategy reflects what's actually possible today.

A genuine understanding of AI capabilities — summarization, classification, generation, agentic workflows — and the ability to translate that into business strategy and concrete use cases. •

Experience building internal-facing enterprise AI systems or platforms; you think in systems and adoption curves, not just features. Demonstrated

experience managing product backlogs, defects, and enhancement roadmaps for enterprise applications or internal platforms.

Strong prioritization instincts and the ability to make hard calls about what matters most in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment. You think in terms of business outcomes, not activity.

Demonstrated ability to influence without authority — across business units, finance, legal, and security stakeholders.

Comfort operating hands-on with AI tooling: you don't need to write production code, but you should be able to evaluate a platform, configure an agent, and troubleshoot when something isn't working. •

Experience with no-code/low-code AI platforms (e.g., Workato, or similar) is a strong plus. Change management

experience — you know how to drive adoption, not just deployment.
