Title: Product Delivery Manager III Location: Hybrid in Rosemead, CA 91770 Duration: 1 Year Contract with possible extension Pay range: $64.00 - $67.65 per hr on W2 Day-to-Day Responsibilities/Workload: This role will serve as the “Voice of ***”, owning the intelligence and personality of the channels the handle millions of customer interactions annually. The Product Manager, Conversational AI & Customer Experience doesn’t just build simple chatbots, they build Agentic-AI systems capable of reasoning, diagnosing complex utility scenarios, and executing transactions (like analyzing a bill, or explaining usage) – all without human intervention. This is a strategic Product & Design role, not a machine learning engineer. You will not build models, you will instead be the architect who defines what the AI says, how it reasons, and when it acts. Key Responsibilities: Move from “Deflection” to “Zero-Touch Resolution”: • Move the metric mindset beyond simple “call deflection”. • Design flows that achieve First Contact Resolution (FCR) within the automated channel. • Ensure IVA & Chat solves the customer’s problem completely, rather than just blocking them from an agent. • Own the end-to-end conversational experience across voice + chat channels. Conversational Architecture & Logic: • Blueprint the Logic: Design complex, non-linear conversation flows that handle ambiguity (e.g. “my bill is high” could be a rate change*** a leak, or a hot summer) • Prompt Strategy: Own the “system persona”. Write and refine prompts that are empathetic, concise, and brand aligned. • Agentic Design: Define the API triggers and business logic that allow the AI to take action (process extension, resetting pw) Forensic Optimization & Analytics: • Transcript Forensics: Regularly review actual conversational logs to identify where the AI “hallucinated”, misunderstood, or frustrated the user. • Feedback Loops: Translate failures into specific requirement updates for the engineering/vendor teams. • A/B Testing: Run experiments on prompt phrasing to increase intent recognition and completion rates. Ecosystem & Vendor Orchestration: • Primary owner for the IVA + Chat platforms • Translate complex utility business rules into simple conversational logic the AI can follow. • Primary owner for the IVA + Chat platforms Qualifications: The Must Haves: • 5+ years in product management, conversational design and/or digital CX. • Hands on experience with NLU platforms (Amelia, SoundHound, Google CCA / Dialogflow, Lex, etc.) • The “Linguistic” skillset: Strong copywriting skills. You can write dialogue that sounds human, not robotic. • Analytic Rigor: Ability to look at a dataset of 10,000 calls and identify the top 3 reasons the IVA failed. • Flow Design: Proficiency with tools like Visio, LucidChart, Miro, or Voiceflow to visualize complex logic trees. Desired Skills/Attributes: The “Nice to Haves” (Preferred): • Experience in regulated industries • Background in linguistics, UX writing, or Psychology • Experience implementing Generative AI/ LLM features within a controlled enterprise environment Education Requirement • High School Diploma / GED required
