Position Description We are seeking an experienced and visionary AI Product Manager to lead the development of AI-first solutions across PAR Retail’s product ecosystem. This is not an AI bolt-on role; you will be responsible for rethinking how our products operate, deliver value, and evolve—starting from AI as the core design principle. You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering, design, data science, and customer teams to define and deliver transformative experiences powered by machine learning, generative AI, and intelligent automation.

The ideal candidate brings a strong product mindset, a track record of delivering AI-first solutions, and a deep understanding of how AI can reshape user experiences and business outcomes. While experience in retail or hospitality is a plus, it is not required—what matters most is your ability to demonstrate impact through AI-driven product innovation, whether in our domain or another. We value curiosity, clarity of thought, and the ability to translate complex AI capabilities into simple, elegant product experiences.
