Job Summary
The Enterprise GenAI Product Strategy Lead coordinates product strategy, discovery, requirements, product design, and roadmap planning for KeyBank’s portfolio of centrally supported Generative AI platforms, tools, and shared capabilities.
The role partners with Lines of Business, Shared Services, end users, governance partners, and technology teams to identify common needs and translate recurring demand into product concepts, user experiences, requirements, and roadmap priorities.

Serving as a central organizing point across existing and emerging enterprise GenAI capabilities, the Strategy Lead serves as a Product Manager and maintains an integrated view of how those capabilities work together, the needs they address, where they overlap, where gaps remain, and the support required for responsible adoption and growth. The role evaluates emerging tools and platform capabilities based on their potential value to KeyBank, intended users, access models, enterprise fit, and alignment with Key’s governance expectations and risk appetite.
The Strategy Lead partners with the GenAI Platform Engineering team, Microsoft and Google platform teams, Architecture, Governance, Risk, Information Security, and other stakeholders to move approved product concepts from discovery through design, build, launch, and ongoing enhancement.

- Lead business exploration of emerging GenAI products and capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio LE, Agent Builder, Gemini Enterprise, Scout, evaluation platforms, and future enterprise AI offerings.
- Maintain an integrated view of the enterprise GenAI product portfolio, evaluating how platforms and capabilities interact, where they overlap, where gaps remain, and where expansion, integration, consolidation, replacement, retirement, or additional investment should be considered.
- Develop recommendations regarding product positioning, intended users, access models, priority use cases, product boundaries, rollout approaches, and readiness conditions for centrally supported GenAI tools and services.
- Evaluate proposed products and significant enhancements for employee value, enterprise fit, usability, scalability, support requirements, organizational readiness, governance and risk considerations, and compatibility with Key’s risk appetite.
- Develop business cases, product recommendations, options analyses, roadmap updates, and executive decision materials for enterprise GenAI product and capability decisions.
- Maintain current product information, including purpose, scope, target users, available capabilities, limitations, requirements, roadmap, dependencies, access and support models, ownership, and release-readiness considerations.
- Define measures of adoption, coverage, readiness, value, user experience, and capability maturity with platform, portfolio, and reporting partners. Use research, feedback, pilots, demand patterns, usage information, and platform insights to guide product enhancements.
- Coordinate product roadmaps, dependencies, handoffs, and readiness activities across Platform Engineering, Governance, Risk, Architecture, Communications & Enablement, Learning, Support, Finance, and platform-owner teams.
- Support product lifecycle decisions involving the introduction, expansion, integration, consolidation, replacement, or retirement of enterprise GenAI capabilities. Serve as a knowledgeable point of coordination for current and planned enterprise GenAI products.
- Perform other duties as assigned; duties, responsibilities, and/or activities may change or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Product Strategy Lead
Align your degree to product strategy
USCIS requires a direct relationship between your degree field and the role. A Product Strategy Lead position typically maps to degrees in business administration, engineering, economics, or computer science. Document that connection explicitly in your resume before applying.
Use OFLC Wage Search to set expectations
Look up prevailing wage data for Product Strategy Lead roles by metro area before negotiating. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL's prevailing wage, so knowing the Level II and Level III figures strengthens your offer discussions.
Target employers with cap-exempt status
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government-affiliated entities are cap-exempt, meaning they can file your H-1B petition outside the annual lottery. Product strategy roles at these institutions are less common but do exist, bypassing the April registration window entirely.
Search H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter Product Strategy Lead roles on Migrate Mate by employers with verified H-1B filing history. This narrows your search to companies that have already navigated the sponsorship process for similar roles, cutting time spent on employers unlikely to file.
Confirm O*NET classification with your employer
Product Strategy Lead maps to O*NET's Management Analysts or General and Operations Managers categories depending on job duties. The SOC code your employer selects affects the prevailing wage tier and LCA filing, so confirm it matches your actual responsibilities before the petition is filed.
Time your offer acceptance around registration
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for an April 1 start date. If you receive an offer in late fall or winter, negotiate a start date that gives your employer enough runway to register you and, if selected, file the full petition before October 1.
H-1B Visa Product Strategy Lead: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Strategy Lead role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as business administration, engineering, economics, or a related discipline. USCIS evaluates the job duties, not just the title. Roles with broad generalist responsibilities or no defined degree requirement can face Requests for Evidence, so the job description should tie specific duties to a qualifying degree field.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for product strategy roles?
Migrate Mate lets you search Product Strategy Lead roles filtered by employers with documented H-1B filing history, so you're not guessing which companies will sponsor. Cross-referencing with DOL LCA disclosure data also shows which employers have certified wages for similar positions in your target metro area.
What happens to my H-1B if my employer restructures and eliminates my product strategy role?
You enter a 60-day grace period from your last day of employment to find a new sponsor and have a new H-1B petition filed on your behalf. During this window you can't work, but you can interview and negotiate offers. If your new employer files a transfer petition before the grace period ends, you're authorized to start once the petition is received by USCIS.
Can my employer change my title from Product Strategy Lead to a related role without refiling?
It depends on whether the change constitutes a material change to the petition. A new title with substantially different duties, a different SOC code, or a change in worksite location typically requires an amended H-1B petition. A title change that reflects the same scope and responsibilities usually doesn't, but your employer's immigration counsel should make that call before the change takes effect.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect product strategy job offers?
Your employer must certify on the LCA that your salary meets or exceeds the DOL's prevailing wage for the role at the specific work location. For Product Strategy Lead positions, the wage level depends on your duties and experience tier. You can verify the applicable wage using the OFLC Wage Search tool before your offer is finalized, which gives you a baseline for salary negotiations.
