Applied AI Product Manager (Forward Deployed)

Description

How do you turn a quarter-end close that still runs on spreadsheets into something an agent handles overnight? Help a contact centre answer faster and better without adding headcount? Turn a 200-page regulatory change into a plain-English checklist a compliance team can act on by Monday morning? Get an AI system to read a backlog of contracts and surface only what actually matters?

This work puts frontier AI to work inside real businesses, turning ambitious, often fuzzy goals into AI solutions that ship and create real value. The work runs from helping a workforce use AI well, to rebuilding a whole process around agents, to launching brand-new AI-native products.

As an Applied AI Product Manager (Forward Deployed), you will own the journey from the first messy conversation to a live system that earns or saves real money. The role is hands-on and client-facing: you are the client’s main point of contact, decide what gets built and why, run delivery through to a working system, and prototype solutions yourself. You hold the why and the what; engineering, data and architecture build alongside you for production scale.

Responsibilities

• Build, don’t just brief. Prototype working AI solutions and demos with modern tooling to prove ideas in pre-sales and get to value fast.
• Own the client relationship. Be the day-to-day partner and point of contact, earning trust across the organization and staying clear about trade-offs.
• Shape what is built and why. Turn vague, high-stakes goals into a sharp problem statement, a solution, and a definition of success everyone signs up to.
• Carry it through. Lead shaping in pre-sales as a full member of the team, then stay on into delivery so nothing is lost in handover.
• Run the room. Facilitate workshops with business and technical stakeholders, and bring clarity when the brief is fuzzy or the client changes direction.
• Make the case. Build the business case and ROI story so clients can invest with confidence.
• Drive adoption. Work on rollout and change so what is built gets used, then feed lessons back into how the work is done.

Requirements

• Build with AI hands-on. Actively prototype with the current toolset: Claude and Claude Code, ChatGPT and Gemini, Cursor, app builders such as v0, Lovable or Replit, and agent platforms such as Microsoft Copilot Studio.
• Have delivered AI into production. Demonstrate a track record of taking AI agents or AI-native features into live client use.
• Have customer-facing, high-stakes experience. Lead work where stakeholders were not aligned and the path was not obvious; roughly 5+ years in product or consulting, with track record valued over years or titles.
• Have deep expertise in at least one industry: Financial Services, Retail Banking, Insurance, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail, or Travel & Hospitality.
• Have a product and value mindset. Be comfortable with 0→1 product innovation, building from a blank page under ambiguity without a playbook.
• Have GenAI fluency. Understand LLMs, prompting, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, agents, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) well enough to make sound decisions.
• Communicate effectively in workshops and stakeholder discussions, moving from executive whiteboarding to crisp engineering briefs.
• Show a bias for action, including rapid prototypes, workshops, and short-notice demos.
