Position Overview
We're looking for a Lead Product Manager to run execution on Zynga's internal AI operating platform - the system through which teams across the company access, govern, and act on AI capabilities. This role owns the operational backbone that turns AI requests into shipped capabilities: intake, triage, research, execution with engineering, and measurement of impact.

This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role for someone who's energized by running a tight operational loop - turning incoming requests into scoped work, keeping engineering unblocked, and holding the team accountable to outcomes with data.

Conduct research to support product decisions - technical landscape scans (models, tooling, competitive AI platforms), stakeholder discovery, and feasibility assessments - and turn findings into clear, actionable write-ups.

Write clear, detailed, and technically grounded specs and require
