Director of Product Management – Decion Agentic Platform

• Director of Product Management – Decion Agentic Platform
• Reports to: Chief Product Officer

Role Overview

Tools Group is seeking a

Director of Product Management – Decion Agentic Platform to lead the development of our next-generation, AI-native supply chain platform.

This is a mission-critical leadership role at the center of our transformation to an agentic, AI-first platform (Decion) —a platform that redefines how supply chains are planned, optimized, and operated through autonomous and semi-autonomous systems.

You will own the platform layer that powers Decion —including the agentic fabric, APIs, data and integration infrastructure, and core platform services—while enabling product and engineering teams across the company to build, extend, and scale on top of it.

This role requires a true product leader —someone who can

• Set a clear platform vision
• Operate as a player-coach in a high-velocity environment
• Drive alignment and execution across a complex, engineering-led organization
• Lead through a combination of direct management, influence, and technical credibility
• What You’ll Own
• You will lead product strategy and execution for the

Decion Platform , including

• 1. Platform Foundation
• Agentic architecture (LLM, memory, skills, tools)
• Platform APIs (agentic “brain” / orchestration layer)
• Data Hub and Integration Hub
• Telemetry, observability, and platform services (including billing/metering)
• 2. Core Platform Enablement

• Define product requirements for core planning engines to support

• Agentic execution
• API-first extensibility
• Scenario modeling and simulation
• 3. Cross-Cutting Platform Capabilities
• Platform-level ownership of core agentic services, for example: Scenario Management and Visualization including Insights product.
• Enable consistent, scalable capabilities across all product domains
• 4. Platform as a Product (Internal + External)
• Treat internal engineering teams as customers
• Define how agentic skills and tools are built, reused, and extended
• Enable rapid development of agentic applications across the platform
• Establish a developer-friendly, composable platform ecosystem
• Leadership Expectations (Critical)

• Product specifications
• Use AI to accelerate your own output and the team’s productivity
• Lead Through Influence (Beyond Direct Team)
• Drive product direction across multiple engineering teams who do not report to you

• Build alignment across

• Platform engineering
• Domain product teams (Demand, Inventory, etc.)
• Architecture and UX
• Ensure platform adoption through clarity, usability, and value—not authority
