The Opportunity
We’re looking for an AI Product Lead who is technical, hands-on, and comfortable working directly with engineers. This isn’t a role where you simply write requirements and walk away, you’ll prototype using modern AI tools, test ideas rapidly, analyse data, evaluate models, and guide the technical decisions that will shape the future of AI at Bright.
Key Responsibilities
Build and Deliver Bright’s Applied AI Platform
- Drive adoption of AI capabilities by identifying friction points and delivering solutions that reduce time-to-production from weeks to days.
- Lead the full product lifecycle: discovery, prototyping, experimentation, launch, and continuous improvement.
- Work hands-on with Bright’s AI technology stack (Claude, Prototype, Devin, Google AI, Langflow, N8N, Replit and others).
- Build technical roadmaps informed by prototypes, evaluations, data insights, and developer feedback.
- Define success metrics and create dashboards that track model performance, reliability and business impact.
Balance Innovation with Safety and Governance
- Develop pragmatic governance frameworks that support rapid experimentation with clear guardrails.
- Partner with security and engineering to establish model monitoring, privacy protections, and access controls.
- Create cost-optimisation strategies backed by data, scaling AI usage while ensuring efficient spend.
Drive Technical Strategy & AI Adoption Across Bright
- Evaluate and select AI vendors, tools, and frameworks through hands-on testing and ROI analysis.
- Support engineering in defining architectures for production AI systems — including orchestration, agent frameworks, vector/prompt pipelines, and self-service developer tools.
- Enable more teams to adopt AI by providing reusable components, documentation, templates, agent flows, and reference implementations.
- Prototype emerging AI workflows (agents, copilots, automation pipelines) to validate feasibility before engineering commits.
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years in Product Management, with a strong focus in AI or ML products.
- Proven, end-to-end experience launching production AI systems, not just proofs of concept.
- Strong technical capability, able to work closely with developers, understand architectural discussions, and explore model behaviour.
- Hands-on experience with modern AI platforms and tools:
Claude, Replit, Loveable, Devin, Google AI Studio, Langflow, N8N or equivalents. - Ability to transform ambiguous AI opportunities into clear product proposals, experiments, and deliverables.
- Experience contributing to AI governance, model evaluation, and ML operational workflows.
- A problem-solving mindset with a track record of delivering high-quality outcomes at pace.
- Genuine curiosity for AI, you actively use AI tools in your daily workflow.
