We're looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the development and ongoing evolution of a next-generation AI-powered knowledge platform for one of our key clients. This is a strategic, senior-level role that requires strong product ownership from day one, the ability to drive fast-paced delivery, and the vision to guide long-term product growth.

The role goes beyond delivery, helping the client evolve towards a product-led, design-led culture and playing a key role in shaping their broader AI transformation.

What you'll be doing

• Own and continuously refine the product backlog, lead sprint planning, and ensure value is delivered at pace;
• Work closely with UX designers, engineers, and data scientists to align delivery with product goals and technical feasibility;
• Lead the definition of an innovation framework and support the client's transition toward scalable AI-driven services;
• Collaborate with UX to support rapid prototyping and iterative wireframes that inform design direction and feature validation;
• Facilitate stakeholder alignment, feedback loops, and key decision-making moments;
• Help shape the product into a scalable platform with a consistent delivery rhythm and a clear innovation path;
• Champion a product-led, user-first mindset that balances quick wins with long-term business impact in an agile environment;

What we're looking for

• Experience owning complex digital products end-to-end, from strategy through delivery and ideally in a B2B or enterprise environment
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, able to deliver value quickly while keeping the bigger picture in focus
• Strong stakeholder management skills, particularly with senior business and technical audiences
• Ability to define and communicate strategic roadmaps, and translate them into actionable delivery plans
• Skilled at working with engineering, data, and UX teams to scope, build, and release high-impact features
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and prioritization skills
• Confident aligning diverse stakeholder groups around a shared product vision
• Pragmatic, delivery-oriented mindset with the ability to adapt in a consulting environment
• Experience with AI, automation, or knowledge systems is a strong plus
