Role Overview The AI Product Director is a senior leadership role responsible for defining, building, and scaling UPS Digital’s portfolio of AI-driven logistics solutions and the platform that powers them — a connected suite of supply chain visibility, integration, and agentic capabilities that help customers simplify complex supply chain decisions, optimize their logistics, integrate more easily with UPS, and unlock greater value from UPS data, services, and digital platforms. This leader will own a portfolio at the intersection of applied AI, logistics technology, platform products, SaaS, APIs, and customer-facing digital experiences. The role requires strong technical acumen and the ability to work deeply with engineering, data science, machine learning, architecture, UX, and business partners to turn complex logistics, integration, and customer workflow problems into scalable, intelligent product experiences. The Product Director will be expected to bring strong Product Operating Model experience, including clear product accountability, outcome-based roadmaps, empowered cross-functional teams, continuous discovery, disciplined prioritization, experimentation, and rapid iteration. This leader should be equally comfortable operating in 0→1 new product development and in scaling established platforms — moving from customer problem validation and MVP definition to product-market fit testing, commercialization, adoption, and measurable business impact. A core part of the role is identifying where AI — including predictive insight, automation, decision support, and generative and agentic capabilities — can create differentiated customer value. This includes evolving the portfolio’s supply chain visibility products beyond dashboards into intelligent recommendations, autonomous exception handling, and agent-assisted decisioning; expanding API and integration capabilities so customers and partners can connect to UPS with less friction; and incubating new AI-native solutions that reduce complexity and improve speed, confidence, and control across the shipping and supply chain experience. The ideal candidate is a hands-on product leader who has shipped AI/ML or generative-AI products in production and understands what it takes to make them reliable, safe, and valuable — including grounding models in proprietary data, designing human-in-the-loop workflows, building evaluation and monitoring practices, and managing the realities of model performance, cost, latency, and customer trust. They should have a track record of launching products in ambiguous environments, designing experiments to test customer demand, using evidence to make investment decisions, and iterating quickly based on customer feedback, usage data, technical feasibility, and commercial potential. This is also a people leadership role. The Director will manage and develop Product Managers, lead cross-functional product pods, and create a culture grounded in customer discovery, experimentation, technical and AI depth, commercial discipline, and accountability for outcomes.
