AI/Data Product Manager (Contract)
Owning AI products from idea to real-world impact This contract is about making AI useful, not hypothetical. We are looking for an experienced AI/Data Product Manager to take ownership of AI- and data-enabled products from early discovery through to measurable, real-world outcomes.

You will define the vision, outcomes and roadmap for AI and data products, working closely with stakeholders, domain teams and engineers. You will help frame which problems are suitable for AI, guide experimentation without losing momentum, and ensure delivery stays focused on tangible impact.
