Job summary

Michael Page is seeking a Global Product Owner for AI to lead the identification, shaping and delivery of AI-enabled business transformations.

The role combines product ownership, IT transformation and a passion for AI technology, with opportunities for international travel and a competitive salary.

Qualifications

• Five or more years in consulting, transformation or product roles, with demonstrable AI use-case delivery.
• Strong facilitation and design-thinking practice, evidenced by workshops run and concepts that shipped.
• Adoption and change-management experience; a Microsoft 365 Copilot or comparable enterprise AI rollout is a strong advantage.
• Value-tracking discipline: baselines, benefit hypotheses and realised-value reporting that survived finance scrutiny.
• Enough technical literacy to qualify feasibility honestly: knows what an agent, a model and a data boundary are, and what each costs.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end AI use-case pipeline, from discovery and qualification through to prioritisation and delivery.
• Partner with business leaders and key stakeholders to identify opportunities where AI can deliver measurable business benefits.
• Facilitate workshops to understand business challenges, redesign processes and define AI-enabled solutions.
• Evaluate AI opportunities based on value, feasibility, business impact and strategic alignment.
• Drive adoption and user engagement across deployed AI solutions.
• Lead AI enablement, awareness and literacy initiatives across the organisation.
• Establish and maintain governance processes to ensure responsible and compliant AI deployment.
• Develop business cases, benefit hypotheses and value tracking measures for AI initiatives.
• Collaborate with technical teams to prioritise AI development activity against delivery capacity.
• Provide recommendations on project approvals and investment decisions.
• Continuously evaluate deployed solutions, retiring initiatives that fail to demonstrate adoption or business value.

Client Details

Our client, a global industrial organisation, is seeking a Global Product Owner for AI to act as the key link between business functions and emerging AI capabilities.

While technical teams build and maintain the underlying AI platforms and infrastructure, you will determine where AI can create the greatest business impact and ensure delivered solutions achieve sustainable usage and value.

Key Activities

• Conduct regular discovery workshops across business functions and operational teams.
• Manage and maintain the AI use-case backlog and delivery roadmap.
• Track initiative ownership, progress, adoption levels and realised benefits.
• Produce regular value and performance reports for senior leadership.

Success Measures

• Number of qualified AI use cases progressing into delivery.
• Conversion rate from idea through to production deployment.
• User adoption and engagement across implemented AI solutions.
• Measurable business value delivered against agreed objectives.
• Growth in AI usage and capability across the organisation.
• Expansion of business-led AI development and innovation communities.

Profile

About you:

Business-facing: at home in a sales office and on a factory floor, and credible in both.

A facilitator: gets a mixed room from problem to validated concept without the loudest voice owning the outcome.

Evidence-driven about value: a benefit that cannot be measured is a hypothesis, not a result.

Technically literate enough to be credible with engineers without pretending to be one.

Works comfortably across cultures and time zones, and travels to sites when the work is there; discovery happens where the process runs.Professional experience:

Five or more years in consulting, transformation or product roles, with demonstrable AI use-case delivery.

Strong facilitation and design-thinking practice, evidenced by workshops run and concepts that shipped.

Adoption and change-management experience; a Microsoft 365 Copilot or comparable enterprise AI rollout is a strong advantage.

Value-tracking discipline: baselines, benefit hypotheses and realised-value reporting that survived finance scrutiny.

Enough technical literacy to qualify feasibility honestly: knows what an agent, a model and a data boundary are, and what each costs.
