Job Description
Cresta is on a mission to turn every customer conversation into a competitive advantage by unlocking the true potential of the contact center. Our platform combines the best of AI and human intelligence to help contact centers discover customer insights and behavioral best practices, automate conversations and inefficient processes, and empower every team member to work smarter and faster. Born from the prestigious Stanford AI lab, Cresta's co-founder and chairman is Sebastian Thrun, the genius behind Google X, Waymo, Udacity, and more. Our leadership also includes CEO, Ping Wu, the co-founder of Google Contact Center AI and Vertex AI platform, and co-founder, Tim Shi, an early member of Open AI.
About the Role:
As an AI Agent Product Manager, you will create, deploy and optimize AI Agents that transform our customers’ businesses and delight their customers. This highly cross-functional and customer-facing role blends product thinking, a nose for value, and project leadership with senior customer executives. At the end of the day, you own each AI Agent and the outcomes they drive for our customers, and you take that personally. You are a creative, pragmatic problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments, rolls up your sleeves to build, and excels at turning ambiguity into execution.
In this role, you’ll partner with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who will support the build, integrations and optimization to make each AI Agent successful. You’ll also work closely with product and engineering, providing a tight feedback loop and custom tooling that will shape the future of our platform.
What You’ll Do:
- Own AI Agent outcomes for our customers — defining and delivering on the metrics that move the needle. This includes finding additional automation opportunities that can provide even more value! To do this, you’ll…
- Own the deployment lifecycle for AI Agents — from scoping and kickoff to launch and post-go-live optimization
- Design, build, test and iterate on AI agents in partnership with FDEs using Cresta’s internal tools and the latest technologies to deliver the highest customer ROI
- Lead customer relationships and act as the primary point of contact for AI Agent. Help customers move faster to ensure we can deliver quickly and effectively.
- Facilitate workshops and design sessions with customer stakeholders to align on agent use cases, workflows, and success criteria
- Work closely with FDEs to ensure smooth implementation, build new capabilities as needed and provide feedback and improvements to our broader platform
- Improve our playbooks for agent development and customer deployment
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience in Technology Consulting, Implementations, Product, or Customer Success roles, ideally working closely with AI or LLM first products
- Hands-on work style – curiosity with a bias for action. You anticipate needs and bottlenecks and deliver with urgency and care.
- Experience leading complex deployments, owning customer relationships (including senior customer stakeholders), and working cross-functionally
- Strong technical understanding, systems thinking and exposure to building Agents (not necessarily conversational, personal projects count!)
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and learning quickly in a dynamic startup environment
- Passion for AI, automation, and shaping the future of customer experience
Bonus Points:
- Background in product management, conversation design or forward deployed engineering roles
- Experience in a startup or high-growth SaaS environment
- Familiarity with customer support and contact center operations

We offer a comprehensive and people-first benefits package to support you at work and in life:
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with plans to fit you and your family

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
