Job description

UK or North America | Software & Technology

We're partnering with a highly successful global software group to build a team focused on exploring and delivering the opportunities AI is creating across its portfolio of businesses.

AI is changing what is possible in software. Not just how products are developed, but what products can do, how customers interact with them, how businesses operate and where entirely new commercial opportunities might emerge.

We're looking for someone who wants to be at the centre of that change.

Someone who is naturally curious, commercially minded, comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the opportunity to turn emerging technology into something genuinely valuable.

The role

You’ll work across a global portfolio of specialist software businesses, getting close to their products, customers and teams to identify where AI can make a meaningful difference.

There won't be a single product to own, an established roadmap to follow or a neatly defined set of responsibilities.

Instead, you'll move between businesses, challenges and opportunities, working out where you can create the most value and then taking ownership of making it happen.

One week you might be working with a product and engineering team to rethink how they develop software. The next you could be building an AI prototype, exploring a new commercial opportunity, improving the economics of customer support or helping a leadership team understand what's now possible.

Your role is to connect emerging technology with real business problems, and turn ideas into tangible outcomes.

That could involve:

• Identifying new AI-enabled product and revenue opportunities
• Building prototypes and proofs of concept to demonstrate what's possible
• Working directly with customers to understand unmet needs
• Helping product and engineering teams adopt AI-native ways of working
• Rethinking existing workflows rather than simply automating them
• Experimenting with emerging AI models, agents and tools
• Solving operational and commercial challenges within portfolio businesses
• Working with leadership teams to turn promising ideas into practical solutions
• Sharing successful approaches and lessons across the wider portfolio

You’ll be surrounded by people with strong AI, engineering, product and commercial expertise, but you’ll also be expected to experiment, build, challenge assumptions and learn for yourself.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being given a problem rather than a set of instructions.

Who are we looking for?

You might have worked in product management, built a startup, led innovation initiatives, worked in technology transformation or developed your career across several different disciplines.

You might have spent time in an early-stage business where everyone had to do a bit of everything. You might have founded something that succeeded, or something that didn't.

What matters more than your career path is how you think, how you operate and what you've actually made happen.

We're particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:

• Genuine curiosity about AI. You're already experimenting with emerging technology because you find it fascinating, not because someone has asked you to.
• Entrepreneurial thinking. You naturally connect technology, customer needs and commercial opportunities.
• Ownership and initiative. You don't wait for someone to define the problem, create a roadmap or tell you what to do next.
• A bias towards building. You'd rather test an idea, develop a prototype or put something in front of a customer than spend weeks debating it.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You can enter an unfamiliar business, understand what's happening and work out where to focus.
• Strong interpersonal skills. You can build trust with senior leaders, engineers, product teams and customers, often without formal authority.
• Intellectual humility. You're happy to admit what you don't know, share failures and change direction when the evidence tells you to.
• Adaptability. You enjoy moving between different industries, technologies and business challenges.

We're not looking for someone who simply produces product strategies, manages backlogs or runs innovation workshops.

We're looking for someone who can spot an opportunity, get close to the problem, bring the right people together and make something happen.

Someone who is equally comfortable discussing commercial strategy with a CEO, exploring customer problems with a product team and spending an afternoon experimenting with a new AI tool.

And someone who understands that the best ideas don't always survive contact with reality — and sees that as part of the process.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across a large international portfolio of established software businesses, spanning multiple industries, markets and technologies.

Each business presents different challenges and opportunities. Some will be well advanced in their AI journey. Others will be at an earlier stage. Many will have opportunities that haven't yet been recognised.

You’ll have significant freedom to explore emerging technology, test ideas and develop solutions, without being constrained by a single product, industry or traditional career path.

You’ll also work alongside highly capable AI, product, engineering and transformation specialists, with the opportunity to share what works across a much larger community of businesses.

Success won't be measured by the number of prototypes built, AI tools introduced or ideas generated.

It will be measured by what those ideas actually achieve — whether that's better products, new revenue opportunities, improved customer experiences, more effective teams or fundamentally different ways of operating.

If you're entrepreneurial, fascinated by AI and motivated by the opportunity to build, experiment and create real commercial impact across established software businesses, we'd love to hear from you.
