About the Role
As our Product Manager for AI Governance, you will help shape how enterprises govern AI agents and agentic systems, one of the most consequential and genuinely unsolved problems in enterprise software today. You will work closely with peer product managers, engineering, design, and research teams at Collibra, and report directly to the Senior Director, Product Management, AI Governance.
This role sits at the intersection of AI, compliance, and risk. There is no established playbook here and that is precisely the point. We are looking for someone who finds that energising, who will dig into a problem on their own initiative, form a strong perspective, and bring enough clarity for the team to build with conviction. Our team lives by Collibra's value of "open, direct, and kind"; it shapes how we support each other, make thoughtful choices, and care for our customers.
This is a hybrid role based in our Brussels office. Our hybrid model means you’ll work from the office at at least two days each week. This setup helps us stay connected, work more closely together, and keep making progress as a team.
Responsibilities
- Shaping the problem before the solution researching customer needs, market signals, and the evolving agentic AI landscape to develop well-informed, clearly articulated pitches that the team can act on
- Bringing clarity to complexity, translating the nuances of AI governance (think: agentic systems, runtime controls, compliance frameworks like the EU AI Act or standards like AIUC-1) into product thinking that engineers, designers, and go-to-market teams can all work from
- Prototyping and validating on your own initiative, getting hands-on to test ideas early, whether that means building a rough prototype, running a customer session, or stress-testing an assumption before it becomes a commitment
- Owning outcomes end to end from the first spark of an idea through to delivery and adoption, staying close to what ships and honest about what it achieves
- Collaborating with marketing, sales, customer success and professional services to ensure the product lands well and creates shared value
Requirements
- Experience co-creating with an engineering team. We care far more about the quality of your thinking than the number of years on your CV.
- Hands-on experience exploring or building with AI tools. You have formed your own views through doing, not just reading about it
- Familiarity with compliance, risk, data governance, or security.
- Awareness of what it takes to work effectively in environments where the problem is still being defined. You find ways for making meaningful progress anyway
- Experience in product management for B2B software is a plus
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
Candidate Profile
- Self sufficient and driven by curiosity you map your own path to a goal, know when to ask for support, and do not need someone to structure your days for you
- Research-oriented and hands-on. You read widely, prototype freely, and genuinely enjoy the process of figuring something out from scratch.
- A clear and honest communicator, you write and speak with precision, especially when things are complex or uncertain, and you bring people with you rather than leaving them behind
- Thoughtful in the face of ambiguity, you generate clarity where there is none, and make considered choices without waiting for perfect information
- Resilient and adaptable, this space will surprise you regularly; you treat that as part of the job, not an obstacle to it
