AI Product Lead

AI Product Lead | Financial Services | AI Governance | AI Frameworks | Executive Stakeholder Engagement Are you passionate about helping organisations realise the value of AI beyond pilots and proofs of concept?

We're partnering with a prestigious highly respected UK Financial Services organisation embarking on an ambitious AI transformation journey. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping how AI is adopted, governed and scaled across an established and complex business.

This is not a traditional Product Manager role, nor is it an AI Engineering position.

We're looking for someone who can sit at the intersection of business, technology and transformation, helping identify high-value AI opportunities, establish governance frameworks, drive adoption and ensure measurable outcomes are delivered.

You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation to identify where AI can create genuine business value, build prioritised AI roadmaps, and help establish the frameworks that enable AI to be deployed safely and effectively.

You'll become a trusted advisor on AI adoption, helping bridge the gap between business ambition and practical implementation.

• Facilitate workshops and discovery sessions to identify AI opportunities across multiple business functions.
• Build and manage a prioritised AI use-case backlog aligned to strategic objectives.
• Work with senior leaders to define business cases, success metrics and value realisation frameworks.
• Support the development of AI governance, risk and compliance frameworks.
• Drive adoption of AI technologies and ways of working across the organisation.
• Collaborate with business, technology, security and data teams to enable successful delivery.
• Monitor emerging AI trends and identify opportunities for innovation and competitive advantage.
• Establish KPIs and ensure AI initiatives deliver measurable business outcomes.

We're interested in speaking with candidates who have experience in areas such as:

• AI Transformation
• AI Adoption & Enablement
• Digital Transformation
• AI Governance & Responsible AI
• Change & Transformation Programmes
• Consulting or Advisory Services

• Innovation Lead
• Digital Transformation Manager
• AI Governance Lead
• Principal Consultant (AI / Emerging Technology)

• Experience identifying and prioritising AI use cases within large organisations.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence senior leaders.
• Experience running workshops and discovery sessions.
• Understanding of AI technologies, including Generative AI and emerging AI capabilities.
• Experience building business cases and measuring value realisation.
• Exposure to AI governance, risk or responsible AI frameworks.
• Ability to bridge business and technical teams effectively.

• Experience with Microsoft Copilot or similar AI platforms.
• Exposure to regulated environments.
• Experience establishing AI operating models or Centres of Excellence.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape enterprise-wide AI adoption from an early stage. You’ll play a visible role in defining how AI is governed, prioritised and scaled across an organisation committed to using AI responsibly whilst delivering measurable business value.
