Product Manager - AI-Native Platform Owner

Product Manager - Ai-Native Platform Owner

About The Role

• We are building a portfolio of in-house platforms and digital ventures - operational systems that run our core business, internal tools that make our teams more effective, and new commercial opportunities we are developing from scratch.
• This is not a traditional product role focused on writing requirements and managing developers.
• We are a small, growing team and we use modern AI tools as our engineering capability.
• We are looking for someone who can think in outcomes, move fast, and turn operational problems into working solutions, often without a conventional engineering team behind them.
• You will report directly into the CTO and have genuine ownership across the products and platforms you are responsible for.
• That means visibility at the top of the organisation, the ability to influence direction, and real accountability for what you ship.
• What you’ll own
• You will take end-to-end ownership of one or more of the following:
• In-house operational platforms:
• · Core business infrastructure - scheduling, operations, workflow, reporting that the team relies on daily.
• You own the health, improvement, and roadmap of these systems.
• Internal tools:
• · Internal productivity and automation tools
• · Tools built to eliminate manual work, reduce errors, and make the team faster.
• · You identify the opportunity, prototype the solution, and own the outcome.
• New ventures: Venture-stage digital products
• · Commercial opportunities we are developing from the ground up.
• You will shape the product, validate with real users, and drive it toward a meaningful outcome.
• What you’ll do
• · Own platforms end-to-end.
• From understanding the business problem to shipping and iterating on the solution
• · Map user journeys and operational workflows, and find where they break down
• · Identify bugs, inefficiencies, UX issues, and commercial opportunities across your platform
• · Use AI coding tools to prototype, automate, test, release and iterate
• · Build dashboards, internal tools, automations, and integrations where they create operational value
• · Work closely with operations, leadership, support, and commercial teams to understand real problems
• · Prioritise based on business impact, operational value, and commercial outcomes, not just volume of requests
• · Help the wider team adopt AI-enabled ways of working
• What we’re looking for
• · Strong product, operations, or business systems experience with a track record of owning outcomes, not just managing backlogs
• · Commercially focused and outcome-driven - you measure your work in business impact, not features shipped
• · Hands-on with AI tools.
• You have actually built things using tools like Cursor, Claude, Codex or Replit, not just prompted them for writing help
• · Strong problem-solving instinct - you diagnose before you prescribe, and you are comfortable working in ambiguity
• · Able to operate independently - you do not need a fully staffed team around you to make progress
• · Comfortable across technical and non-technical conversations - you can hold your own with an engineer and with an ops manager in the same day
• · Curious and highly operational in mindset - you care about how things actually work, not just how they should work in theory
• The practical test for this role
• This role requires someone who can use AI tools as a genuine engineering capability.
• We will include a practical task in the interview process where you will be given real operational problems and access to an AI coding tool.
• We are not testing whether you can write perfect code - we are testing whether you can build something that works, make pragmatic decisions under pressure, and clearly articulate what you built, how it works, and what its limitations are.
• If you have never used AI tools to build something real, this is not the right role for you yet.
• If you have, and you are looking for an environment where that capability is genuinely valued and stretched, we would like to hear from you.
• Bonus experience
• The following is genuinely helpful but not required if the core fit is strong:
• Experience with AI coding tools: Cursor, Claude, Replit, Copilot, ChatGPT
• Workflow automation: Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom scripting
• Product analytics and experimentation
• APIs, webhooks, and integrations
• SQL or light scripting (Python, JavaScript)
• Browser automation or testing tools
• ERP, scheduling, or operational platforms
• What makes this different
• Most product roles sit at a distance from execution.
• This one does not.
• You will have a direct line to the C-level executives, real ownership of products that matter to the business, and the freedom to use modern tools to move at a speed that traditional product teams cannot match.
• We are a small team, which means your work is visible, your decisions matter, and the things you build are used by real people from day one.
• If you want ownership without layers, and you have the skills to back it up, this is the role.
