An established fintech organization is seeking an AI Product Director to lead the next phase of its enterprise-wide AI transformation program.

This is a highly visible leadership role focused on reimagining business processes through AI and scaling successful AI solutions across multiple functions. You'll work closely with executive stakeholders, lead a growing AI product team, and oversee multiple concurrent initiatives that are already delivering measurable business value.

The ideal candidate combines strategic product leadership with hands-on execution and has played a direct role in designing and delivering AI-powered products from concept through production.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the product strategy and roadmap for enterprise AI transformation initiatives
  • Partner with senior business leaders to identify opportunities for AI-driven process redesign
  • Translate business objectives into scalable product and solution blueprints
  • Oversee multiple AI product initiatives simultaneously, ensuring quality, speed, and business impact
  • Manage and mentor a team of AI Product Managers
  • Lead discovery efforts with business stakeholders to map current-state processes and identify transformation opportunities
  • Evaluate and select external engineering partners and maintain accountability throughout delivery
  • Establish quality assurance, evaluation, and governance frameworks for AI solutions
  • Partner with technical teams to define success metrics, testing methodologies, and production-readiness standards
  • Drive stakeholder adoption, executive alignment, and organizational change management

What We're Looking For:

  • 8-12 years of Product Management experience
  • Proven track record delivering AI-enabled products from concept through production deployment
  • Demonstrated experience contributing directly to AI solution design, architecture discussions, or product blueprint creation
  • Experience leading multiple concurrent product initiatives in fast-paced environments
  • Experience managing Product Managers or leading product teams
  • Strong vendor management experience and ability to guide third-party delivery partners
  • Executive-level communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to balance strategic vision with hands-on execution

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience in fintech, lending, payments, risk technology, or other regulated industries
  • Knowledge of AI governance, explainability, compliance, or model risk concepts
  • Familiarity with agentic systems, AI evaluation frameworks, benchmark testing, and modern LLM applications
  • Experience scaling AI products within high-growth technology companies

Benefits:

  • Additional performance-based cash compensation potential
  • Executive visibility and influence across the organization
  • Opportunity to build and lead a growing AI product function
  • Exposure to large-scale AI transformation initiatives with significant business impact
