$200-250k base + bonus (No equity)
We’re partnering with a fast-growing financial services business that is using AI to fundamentally rethink how core business processes operate.
The company already has production AI agents live across credit and underwriting workflows and is now expanding that approach across Sales, Customer Lifecycle, Finance, and Capital Markets.
This is not a traditional product management role focused on feature backlogs and incremental improvements. The remit is to work directly with business teams, understand how processes operate today, and redesign them from the ground up using AI.
The Opportunity
You’ll work directly on a core AI initiative, owning projects from discovery through launch.
You’ll partner with business teams to understand their processes, identify where AI can help, and turn those needs into clear product requirements.
You’ll then work closely with engineering teams to bring those solutions into production.
It’s a high ownership role with strong exposure to senior stakeholders and a great opportunity to build deeper AI product experience.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead discovery sessions with business teams to understand existing workflows, pain points, exceptions, and opportunities for AI
- Translate complex business problems into clear AI product designs and technical briefs
- Reimagine workflows from first principles rather than simply automating existing processes
- Define product requirements, acceptance criteria, quality controls, and evaluation frameworks
- Manage specialist engineering partners through the build and delivery process
- Partner with Data Science and Engineering teams to define evaluation metrics, golden datasets, and production readiness standards
- Coordinate testing, shadow runs, and go live activity for new AI products
- Work closely with end users to drive adoption and ensure products solve genuine operational problems
- Measure post launch impact against defined baselines and identify opportunities for continued iteration
What We’re Looking For
- 3 to 5 years of experience across Product Management, Product Analysis, or a similar product focused role
- Hands on exposure to AI enabled products, LLM applications, or AI agents
- Strong experience running discovery with business stakeholders and turning ambiguous problems into structured solutions
- Ability to create clear product artefacts including process maps, requirements, design briefs, and specifications
- Comfortable working with engineers and challenging technical solutions when they do not align with the product intent
- Strong written communication and structured problem solving skills
- Comfortable operating independently in ambiguous, fast moving environments
Ideally You’ll Also Have
- Experience within an AI native, fintech, lending, or high growth technology environment
- Exposure to AI agents, LLM powered products, or workflow automation
- Experience managing external engineering partners or vendors
- Strong instincts around when AI genuinely adds value versus when a simpler solution is more appropriate
- Experience taking AI products from discovery through production and adoption
