About Faculty

At Faculty, we transform organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI.

With more than a decade of experience, we provide over 350 global customers with software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.

Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.

Should you join us, you'll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.

Why now?

We're experiencing rapid growth and are looking for a Senior Product Manager to provide leadership and delivery excellence to our growing product team. And be at the forefront of high impact and mission critical AI transformation programmes that aim to improve society and public services in the UK.

The role:

As a Senior Product Manager in the Government & Public Services team at Faculty, you will be focused on serving the needs of our customers across a range of complex problems in National Security, Education, Law enforcement, Public services and AI Safety.

This is an intellectually demanding role that requires strong analytical skills, exceptional judgement, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity. You\'ll be solving complex and sensitive problems, often for the first time and in fast-changing environments, and you\'ll need to do so with discretion and integrity.

Leveraging your experience of AI software product delivery methodologies, you\'ll play a leading role in influencing the product development approach and mindset within the business unit. You can expect high levels of delivery responsibility, customer exposure, and business development involvement from day one, as well as the opportunity to contribute directly to our growth plans.

What you\'ll be doing:

• Leading multidisciplinary teams to develop products from discovery through to live deployment. You will be the driving force and core of the team, leading agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, stand ups, retrospectives, backlog refinement.
• Accountable for the delivery of multiple products, managing multiple priorities and projects simultaneously.
• Working side-by-side with stakeholders to understand their strategic goals and needs, shaping and scoping work to design phased approaches that deliver meaningful, value-adding products.
• Building trusted and enduring relationships. You\'ll be comfortable working with senior stakeholders, building trust through delivery excellence and an increasing mastery of how AI can be put to work to solve our customers\' hardest problems.
• Playing a key role in growing and shaping the product community at Faculty. You\'ll be responsible for setting delivery standards, defining best practices, and fostering a culture of product excellence.
• Supporting the development of individuals in Faculty's delivery teams, providing coaching on areas for improvement and opportunities to develop as to maximise their potential.

What we\'re looking for:

A successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of AI and/or software product management, with strong preference to candidates that hold domain experience and knowledge in the Government & Public Services arena.

To succeed in this role, you\'ll need demonstrable experience in some of the following:

• 8+ years of Product Management experience, with demonstrated experience and owning and delivering digital products across all aspects of the product lifecycle in an agile approach. Experience within a consultancy is preferred, but we also welcome applicants from product-led organisations or government departments.
• Strong track record of product development from the ground up. Skilled at bringing clarity and structure to ill-defined problems - breaking down complex scopes into phased approaches that explore the problem space, define strategy, and deliver early proofs of concept toward long-term solutions.
• Experience delivering AI/ML products, with a solid understanding of the challenges involved in AI delivery. While not an AI/ML specialist, you have a solid command of data science techniques and engineering principles, able to spot technical dependencies and contribute to technical solution design.
• Exceptionally strong stakeholder management and ability to influence decision makers through data driven insights, with demonstrated experience of managing multiple stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Experience of delivering to the Government Service Standard, employing Design Thinking principles and employing agile delivery approaches is highly desirable.
• Strong experience of feature trade off, driven by robust prioritisation approaches.
• Experience of leading multi-disciplinary teams. Accountable for defining the product vision and goals, aligning teams around a shared direction, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and creative working environment.
• A natural curiosity and drive, with a passion for continuous learning and a commitment to always doing your best work.
• Experience mentoring and developing junior team members. Helping them grow their skills and progress in their careers.

What we can offer you:

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.

Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You\'ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals.

Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you\'ll learn something new from everyone you meet.
