The Opportunity

We are supporting a major UK government organisation at the forefront of AI, data, and digital transformation, building out a next-generation capability to deliver AI-enabled products and services at scale.

This is a rare opportunity to join as an AI Product Lead, shaping how Generative AI, agent-based systems, and advanced analytics are deployed within complex, high-assurance environments.

You will sit at the intersection of product, users, and technology, translating AI capability into real, operational value.

The Role

As an AI Product Lead, you will take ownership of AI-driven products and services, from early discovery through to delivery and adoption.

You will:

  • Define and own AI product strategy, vision, and roadmap
  • Identify high-value AI use cases across operational and business environments
  • Lead discovery activities, working closely with users to shape solutions
  • Translate complex requirements into clear product backlogs, epics, and user stories
  • Work closely with data scientists, engineers, and architects to deliver AI solutions
  • Drive adoption of Generative AI tools (e.g. Copilot, LLM-based systems, AI agents)
  • Balance innovation with governance, ensuring ethical, secure, and compliant AI deployment
  • Engage senior stakeholders across business and technical teams
  • Measure and communicate value, impact, and ROI of AI initiatives
What We're Looking For

    • Data-driven product development
    • Agile delivery (Scrum / SAFe)
  • Experience working with engineering and data teams
  • Strong stakeholder engagement across senior / non-technical audiences
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into business value
Highly Desirable
  • Experience within central government, law enforcement, defence, or regulated sectors
  • Exposure to AI governance, ethics, and risk frameworks
  • Experience with Microsoft ecosystem (M365 Copilot, Azure AI) or similar platforms
  • Background in user-centred design, service design, or user research
  • Experience scaling AI from POC production
Why This Role?
  • Work on mission-critical systems impacting national-level operations
  • Be part of a growing AI capability within government
  • Shape how AI is actually used in the real world (not just theory)
  • Collaborate with leading experts across AI, data, and digital
  • Opportunity for long-term engagement and programme growth
