VC founder says product managers will be hot hires in the AI era
Executive Take
Judgment and adoption skills, not just technical AI skills, will decide who gets hired next. Leaders should reweight hiring and promotion criteria toward decision-making and change management, not just AI fluency.
Executive Summary
TDK Ventures founder Nicolas Sauvage told Business Insider that product managers, engineers/scientists, and consultants will see rising demand in the AI era. He said product managers add judgment on top of AI output, technical experts drive innovation, and consultants help firms adopt AI effectively.
Why It Matters
HR leaders planning workforce and skills strategy should note which roles a VC investor expects to grow as AI spreads. This signals where hiring budgets and training investment may shift next.
Bizquad Perspective
The bigger blind spot isn't which job titles survive, it's that most companies still haven't defined who owns judgment when AI and humans disagree.
