Senior Product Owner (AI Innovation)
Location:: London
Day Rate:: £537/day, Inside IR35
Duration:: 6 months
Clearance:: BPSS
Sector:: Public
A major public sector transformation portfolio needs a team of specialists. A key part of the work is evaluating and optimising reporting and management information (MI) processes to improve operational efficiency, data quality and standardisation, and to speed up automation. That includes using agentic AI where it can deliver measurable value.
We're looking for an experienced Product Owner to shape and deliver an AI-enabled proof of concept (PoC) in a complex enterprise environment. You'll take the proposition from concept through to pilot deployment. You'll work across business and technology delivery teams to identify and prioritise use cases quickly, validate value, and set a clear path from proof of concept to scalable product.
This is a high-profile, outcome-critical engagement expected to run for 3 to 6 months. You'll shape the proposition, drive delivery and secure stakeholder buy-in, and you'll be pivotal in whether the PoC succeeds and moves on to become a product for wider adoption.
The role is hands-on. You'll combine product leadership with direct involvement in discovery, requirements definition, prioritisation, stakeholder engagement and day-to-day delivery. You'll have a strong understanding of emerging technologies and AI-enabled solutions and how they apply in complex organisations. You'll also play a key part in navigating technology governance processes and securing approvals at critical decision points.
Key responsibilities:
- Identify, assess and prioritise high-value AI use cases aligned to business objectives
- Validate business value through stakeholder engagement, user research and iterative testing
- Define and maintain the product vision, roadmap and success measures
- Translate business needs into prioritised product requirements and actionable delivery plans
