Korn Ferry has partnered with our client, a global leader providing critical AI-powered workflow platforms and expert-curated databases, in their professional search for this Associate Director role.

Their services (which include professional information solutions, software and services) have international reach across the healthcare, tax / accounting, financial and corporate compliance, legal / regulatory, and corporate performance and ESG sectors.

This is a fast-moving role for a product leader who can juggle multiple priorities, make thoughtful decisions with incomplete information, and partner closely with Engineering, Design, Research, and Go-To-Market teams. The ideal candidate brings product judgment, analytical rigor, user empathy, AI curiosity, and business acumen to scale impactful B2B audit technology.

• Partner with Design and Research to understand user problems, test assumptions early, and iterate toward elegant solutions.
• Identify leading indicators, diagnose issues, and drive data-informed product decisions.
• Use customer empathy and workflow understanding to prioritize solutions that address real-world audit pain points.

Business & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Bring a strong intuition for the capabilities and limitations of LLMs and AI-powered tools.

Required Qualifications
