Position Overview: As a Senior Product Owner in our AI group, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how we define and deliver AI-powered platforms across the organization. Delivery in this space is evolving, and we are seeking someone who thrives in ambiguity, can connect disparate initiatives, and has either direct experience with AI products or a strong passion to learn.
You will oversee 1?2 delivery teams focused on building core AI platforms (rather than one-off tools) and drive alignment across business stakeholders, product teams, and engineering. This role requires someone who can broker consensus, manage competing priorities, and translate high-level opportunities into actionable backlogs while keeping sight of the broader business vision.
Key Responsibilities
? Own and evolve the delivery strategy for AI platforms, bridging the gap between business goals, technical architecture (Databricks, AWS, and target state platforms), and product execution.
? Manage and mentor delivery teams to ensure focus, clarity, and adaptability in a rapidly changing environment.
? Partner with engineering and business stakeholders to evaluate AI opportunities, balance build vs. buy decisions, and accelerate delivery of in-house solutions.
? Navigate ambiguity and drive progress by stitching together initiatives across groups, reducing friction, and ensuring forward momentum.
? Define and track metrics, SLAs, and data-driven outcomes to measure delivery effectiveness.
? Maintain a pragmatic, outcome-oriented mindset rather than rigid adherence to frameworks or process checklists.
What We?re Looking For
? Proven experience as a Product Owner or similar role, ideally at a senior level.
? Strong understanding of AI platforms, products, or technologies, or demonstrated passion and ability to quickly ramp up in this space.
? Experience with platform strategy and architecture, particularly cloud and data ecosystems (e.g., AWS, Databricks).
? Ability to thrive in ambiguity, resolve conflicts, and guide teams toward clarity and impact.
? A self-starter who balances big-picture thinking with hands-on execution.
? Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to ?broker ceasefires? and align diverse groups.
Qualifications
Bachelor?s degree in business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master?s preferred).
5+ years experience in product ownership or product management in a technical domain.
Deep understanding of Agile methodologies and experience leading agile teams.
Experience with backlog management tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, etc.).
Ability to translate strategic initiatives into actionable features/user stories with business value.
Strong prioritization skills and ability to align work with enterprise/division strategies.
Experience developing and tracking KPIs to measure product and discovery effectiveness.
Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills across all organizational levels.
