Senior Product & Delivery Manager - Enterprise AI, Mexico City

LAB49 is a NYC-based strategic consulting firm that designs and builds digital products for the world’s leading investment banks, hedge funds, asset managers, and fintech startups. We’re seeking a Product & Delivery Manager in Mexico City to bridge the gap between client-facing engagement leads and development squads.

This is a hybrid role: you’ll manage delivery discipline across multiple streams while also supporting hands-on product execution for a single stream. You’ll work closely with US-based Engagement and Product Leads to ensure that the client strategy is translated into clear, actionable execution.

About You

You’re a delivery leader with strong product instincts. You thrive in structure but can navigate ambiguity, bringing order to complex initiatives with multiple stakeholders. You understand how to turn product direction into execution: clear requirements, aligned priorities, managed dependencies, and predictable outcomes.

You’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves: creating user stories, clarifying requirements, and ensuring quality through delivery. You balance client needs with team realities, hold stakeholders accountable for dependencies, and create momentum for delivery teams.

Above all, you see delivery as value creation, making sure that every sprint, release, and milestone ties back to both client outcomes and LAB49’s high standards.

About the Role

As a Senior Product & Delivery Manager, you’ll anchor LAB49’s presence in Mexico City, working hand-in-hand with US-based product, engagement leaders, developers and UX designers. You’ll ensure product intent translates into execution, and delivery discipline stays tight.
