AI Product Owner

As an AI Product Owner, you are the connective tissue between a high-velocity engineering team and key business stakeholders. You operate at the intersection of technology and business, ensuring that AI solutions are not only technically sound but also business relevant and operationally viable.

You will focus on orchestrating delivery, aligning stakeholders, and maintaining a strong project cadence. While you won't write code, you will actively engage in technical discussions with AI/ML Engineers, Data Engineers/Modellers, Infrastructure, Architecture, and Security teams, challenge assumptions, and ensure that AI & Data engineering decisions are grounded in real-world business needs.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Act as the primary interface between technical teams and business stakeholders, ensuring clear alignment on goals, scope, and priorities
• Translate business needs into structured product and project requirements

• Protect engineering teams from ad-hoc requests and scope creep, maintaining focus and delivery velocity
• Own and manage the project "heartbeat" (planning, prioritization, resource management, progress tracking, and reporting)
• Drive delivery for the entire AI product lifecycle (PoC, MVP, Production), ensuring robustness and scalability of AI solutions
• Facilitate communication across cross-functional teams, including IT, Business and external stakeholders
• Identify risks early and proactively manage dependencies and trade-offs
• Ensure continuous alignment between product vision and execution
