AI Product Manager - GenAI
For an AI led start-up in London, we are currently looking for a senior AI product lead that could align well with your background. The company is building AI-powered automation for the property sector and is looking for a Product Leader to take the platform from early traction to scalable growth. They’re open to someone who has founded and built a product before, ideally with experience as a CPO or senior PM in a tech-first setting. Exposure to agentic or generative AI would be ideal, and property experience would be a strong plus. Someone who has owned end-to-end product delivery for AI-driven products, especially those involving LLMs, agentic systems, or automation workflows, would be a great fit. They should understand both the technical capabilities (how AI models are built, trained, and deployed) and the commercial implications (how to turn those capabilities into value for users). Key responsibilities: • Define and own the product roadmap to drive scalable growth. • Launch high-impact AI features such as chat, document extraction, or workflow automation. • Translate customer insights into data-driven strategy and prioritisation. • Align engineering, design, and GTM to accelerate delivery and adoption. • Refine pricing, positioning, and product-market fit as the product scales. It’s a strong opportunity for someone who blends AI product vision with startup execution. Feel free to reply with your updated CV if you feel you are a good fit for this role!
