Job description

Overview

Transforming digital preservation with human-centric AI

Preservica is a global leader in Active Digital Preservation, trusted by governments, archives, libraries and enterprises worldwide to safeguard critical digital information for the long term.

We are entering the next phase of platform evolution, embedding AI to deliver meaningful, responsible innovation for our customers. We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead AI programmes across our platform.

This is a senior individual contributor role with real ownership and influence. You do not need to currently hold an AI job title. We are looking for a tenacious, motivated product leader who can translate emerging AI capabilities into measurable customer and commercial impact.

The Role

• Define and own the AI roadmap aligned to company strategy
• Identify and prioritise high value opportunities
• Lead cross functional delivery from concept to production
• Establish clear success metrics and evaluation frameworks
• Embed governance, transparency and risk management into AI initiatives
• Ensure AI programmes deliver measurable business outcomes

This role requires disciplined execution as much as strategic thinking. We are building production grade capabilities, not experimentation for its own sake.

What We Are Looking For

Experience

• Significant product management experience with ownership of strategy and delivery
• Track record of launching complex technology products
• Strong collaboration with engineering teams in agile environments
• Experience in enterprise software or regulated industries preferred
• Direct AI experience is welcome but not essential. Strong product fundamentals and curiosity about AI matter more

AI and Technical Fluency

• Solid understanding of modern AI including generative AI and LLMs
• Appreciation of AI limitations, risk and evaluation
• Confidence working closely with engineers and technical stakeholders
• Ability to assess build versus buy decisions

Commercial and Leadership Strength

• Outcome focused and data driven
• Strong prioritisation and decision making
• Clear communicator across technical and non technical audiences
• Comfortable influencing senior stakeholders

Personal Qualities

• Tenacious and motivated
• Curious and proactive
• Pragmatic and resilient
• High ownership mindset

Why Join Preservica

• Shape how AI is responsibly applied in a trusted global platform
• Influence strategy at a pivotal stage of growth
• Work on technology with real world, long term impact
• Competitive salary and benefits

If you are driven to build meaningful products, excited by applied AI and ready to take ownership of high impact programmes, we would welcome your application.
