• Lead the product, commercial and operating-model assessment of build, buy and partner options, including MCP, RAG and enterprise integration platforms.
• Define and validate proof-of-concept hypotheses and success criteria for priority use cases.
• Own the product roadmap and business case, and jointly develop the phased implementation roadmap with Architecture and Engineering.

What you will have delivered:

• Enterprise AI Enablement product vision, principles and product strategy.
• Prioritised supplier, guest and colleague use-case portfolio.

• Business requirements catalogue covering the knowledge, data, APIs, systems, tools and workflows required, including ownership, criticality, dependencies and quality gaps.
• Business governance, ownership, decision-rights and acceptable-use model, with agreed privacy, access, permissions, monitoring and control requirements.
• Product, commercial and operating-model assessment of build, buy and partner options, contributing to a joint recommendation with the Architect.
• Defined proof-of-concept hypotheses and success criteria, supported by validated business outcomes and user evidence.
• Overall product roadmap and jointly developed phased implementation roadmap, combining business priorities and benefits with technical dependencies, costs and resourcing evidence.
• Benefits and measurement model, including AI performance, adoption and commercial outcomes.
• Evidence-based business case supporting investment and prioritisation decisions.

What skills you will bring to the Product Manager AI role:

• Experience managing enterprise platform, data, integration or AI-enabled products is essential.
