Head of Product

Current Al is a first-of-its-kind global public-private partnership that brings together governments, foundations, and the private sector to build public interest AI nched at the AI Action Summit in Paris in 2025, the organisation has already committed $400 millions in funds through partnerships with the French government, AI Collaborative, and other leading governments, philanthropic, and industry partners.

Our main product umbrella at Current AI is AI Potluck: an open source project to build a vertically integrated and easy to use AI product assembled entirely out of open source components and built collaboratively with the open source ecosystem.

As Head of Product, you will own AI Potluck end to end:
Alpha, our open source alternative to the closed AI assistants most people use today, the Gap Map, our insights product that shows the open source ecosystem where attention is needed, and the products that come after. Reporting to the VP Movement, you will partner with the engineering team to translate the vision into roadmaps and PRDs, and you will run the product lifecycle from inception to launch.

The goal is movement building through product, so the technology is the means and the measure is whether people and organisations adopt what we ship and contribute back to it. You will help determine what makes AI Potluck unique and why people should join the movement.

AI Potluck has three parts today, and you will own all of them:

• Alpha, at https://www.aipotluck.org/chat, an assistant assembled entirely from open source components, launched in July 2026 at AI for Good in Geneva and in open testing since.
• The Gap Map, at https://www.aipotluck.org/map, which shows where the open source AI ecosystem has gaps and where funding and contribution should go.
• The Alpha Public Router, a single endpoint serving models from public and mission aligned suppliers. It powers Alpha today and becomes a product for developers next.

• Take Alpha from testing to real everyday use inside a small number of partner organisations.
• Decide what the Public Router becomes as a product, and what we ask developers to do with it.
• Set the 2027 roadmap with partners and grantees.
• Increase our partners’ contributions on Alpha

• Products shipped on the dates we announce publicly.
• Organisations actively using Alpha and the Router, not only registered.
• Open source projects integrated into the stack, and contributions we send back to them.
• Partners who move from a conversation to a shipped integration.
• A roadmap that partners can read without needing a meeting to understand it.

The Head of Product will be responsible for the following:

• Translate the CEO's vision into product designs, prioritizing interoperability and completeness of the broader ecosystem stack over in-house build.
• Own the product roadmap, bringing technical options and tradeoffs to leadership .
• Drive the full product lifecycle, including PRD development, user story creation, and managing the roadmap from inception to launch.
• Structure work streams and maintain documentation for the roadmap, the release notes and partner communications, in line with company-wide guidelines on workspace tool.
• Drive high-impact product / feature launches ensuring they are delivered on time and effectively communicated to the ecosystem.

• Work closely with the Engineering team to translate technical platform capabilities into tangible product features.
• Align internal engineering teams and external partners around a common product roadmap, working with leaders of funding projects, partner institutions and internal teams to facilitate collaboration…
