WPP Open is our AI platform for marketing, connecting marketing professionals, data, tools and AI in a single place. The Product Manager, Managed Agents owns the strategy for WPP's centrally-built, production-grade AI agents. These are complex, code-based agents built to formal briefs by specialist engineers (including ex-Satalia talent) that serve needs the self-serve platform cannot yet address. Critically, this role has a built-in evolution path. The long-term strategy is to democratise agentic capability across WPP — meaning managed agents should progressively become unnecessary as the platform matures. This Product Manager owns both the current value delivery AND the transition strategy. **What you'll be doing:** **Intake and prioritisation** - Own the intake process for managed agent requests — business case validation, deduplication against catalog, feasibility assessment. - Decide what gets built: which requests warrant managed agent investment vs. self-serve guidance vs. product feature improvement? - Maintain a prioritised backlog informed by business value, client need, and strategic alignment. **Quality and standards** - Define what "production-grade" means for managed agents — testing, accuracy, monitoring, documentation standards. - Work closely with Agent Governance Operations team on verification processes for managed agents. - Ensure managed agents are exemplars of best practice that inform standards for the self-serve platform. **Insight mining and signal generation** - Analyse agent creation patterns across the 150,000+ catalog — identify common needs being solved repeatedly. - Translate patterns into product signals: "1,500 people/month building insight agents" = signal that Unified Insights needs improvement. - Feed insights to other Product Managers and the Product Strategist to inform portfolio-level investment decisions. **Transition and democratisation strategy** - For each managed agent: determine the long-term path — become a product feature? Become a catalog super agent? Remain bespoke? - Work with Product Manager, Agent Hub & Catalog to transition proven agents into the catalog as super agents. - Work with Product Manager, Agent Builder to feed requirements back: "these are the capabilities that would let users build this themselves." - Progressively reduce the managed agents backlog as the platform matures — measure success by decreasing dependency. **Team interface** - Act as strategic counterpart to the managed agents engineering team (ex-Satalia specialists in delivery organisation). - Set direction and priorities without micromanaging technical implementation. - Champion the team's expertise as an asset for platform intelligence. **What you'll need** - Product management experience, with experience in services productisation, internal tools, or AI/ML products. - Demonstrated ability to manage a capability with a deliberate evolution/sunset path. - Analytical skills — ability to mine large datasets for strategic insight. - Experience managing specialist/senior engineering teams as a product counterpart. - Excellent stakeholder management — this role interfaces with every other Product Manager in the pillar. - Commercial acumen: ability to articulate ROI of managed agent investment vs. platform investment. **You are:** - A product manager who thrives in ambiguity — managing a capability that must deliver value today while actively planning its own evolution. - Experienced in professional services productisation — turning bespoke builds into scalable, repeatable patterns. - Data-driven: you can mine a catalog of 150,000+ agents to find patterns and translate those into product opportunities. - Comfortable managing a specialist engineering team as a strategic counterpart — setting direction without micromanaging technical decisions. - A bridge-builder: you connect the managed agents team's expertise with product strategy across the pillar. #LI-Hybrid The base salary range for this position at the time of this posting is indicated below.
