AI Product Manager

Responsibilities

• ARIA builds on our strong foundation in reconciliation, controls, and financial data management, combining deep domain expertise with advanced AI capability
• There is a growing volume of AI-driven ideas and use cases emerging from across our customer base, Sales teams, and internal stakeholders
• The opportunity now is to shape these ideas into structured, scalable product features that can be consistently delivered, adopted, and embedded within the core platform
• This role is central to ensuring ARIA evolves from a set of promising capabilities into a repeatable, high-impact product offering that delivers tangible value to our clients, improving efficiency, strengthening controls, and reducing operational risk
• As an AI Product Lead, you will be responsible for driving the execution of ARIA by turning AI-driven ideas into a structured, prioritised backlog of features that are built, shipped, and adopted. This is a hands‑on product execution role, focused on delivery rather than strategy or research
• You will work closely with Engineering, Product Leadership, and customer‑facing teams to ensure ARIA evolves into a scalable and repeatable product capability
• As an AI Product Lead, you will focus on bringing structure, discipline, and delivery to ARIA. You will take ownership of converting a growing pipeline of AI ideas into a clear, prioritised backlog of buildable features, ensuring delivery is consistent, predictable, and aligned to business value
• You will introduce rigour into how work is defined, prioritised, and executed, working closely with Engineering to drive features through to completion. Your role will be critical in moving ARIA from ad hoc, SME‑led innovation to a scalable, repeatable product capability that delivers measurable impact
• Own and manage the ARIA backlog, ensuring it is clear, prioritised, and delivery‑ready
• Translate:
  • Customer requests
  • Sales input
  • Internal ideas
  • Into well‑defined product features with clear scope and outcomes
• Break AI concepts into:
  • Practical workflows
  • Incremental deliverables
• Work closely with Engineering to:

  • Ensure features are delivered
• Introduce structure across:
  • Prioritisation
  • Sprint planning inputs
  • Delivery tracking
• Shift ARIA from ad hoc innovation to repeatable product execution
• Ensure all features deliver measurable value (e.g. automation, efficiency, control)
• Focus on adoption, usability, and real‑world impact
• Act as the translation layer between AI capability and product delivery
• Success Measures:
  • In your first 6–12 months, success will be defined by:
    • Establishing and maintaining a clear, prioritised ARIA backlog
    • Consistent delivery of:
      • AI‑driven features
      • Usable, adoptable capabilities
      • Reduced reliance on ad hoc / SME‑led AI delivery
    • Improved:
      • Delivery predictability
      • Adoption of ARIA capabilities
