Senior Product Manager for AI Observability in London

As part of the LSEG AI, we are hiring a Senior Product Manager – AI Observability to own the strategy, design and rollout of telemetry systems that monitor, measure and analyze how AI models, MCPs, and AI-enabled features behave across all LSEG products. This role is responsible for defining how we collect, structure, analyze and act on AI-specific telemetry signals—including prompt patterns, model performance, MCP call usage, latency, error conditions, cost metrics, user behaviour signals, and system reliability.

You will develop a telemetry foundation that supports:

• AI governance & risk
• Model performance tracking
• Cost efficiency
• User experience optimisation
• Operational reliability
• Auditability
• The long-term evolution of our AI platform

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• Telemetry & Observability Strategy
  • Define the end-to-end telemetry vision and roadmap for LLMs, MCPs, vector stores, embeddings, inference layers and AI-powered user experiences.
  • Establish a standardised telemetry schema for capturing prompts, tool calls, model responses, durations, errors, confidence signals, and quality indicators across business lines.
  • Partner with platform engineering to ensure instrumentation is consistent, scalable and compliant.
• Signal Design & Data Architecture
  • Identify key signals required for:
  • Quality & reliability
  • Latency & throughput
  • Cost tracking & optimisation
  • MCP usage patterns
  • User workflow insights
  • Failure pattern detection
  • Guardrail and safety event monitoring
  • Define retention rules, PII considerations, anonymisation and usage policies in partnership with AI Governance and Compliance.
• Platform & Tooling
  • Own requirements for dashboards, monitoring tools, model comparison views, anomaly detection alerts, and performance scorecards.
  • Design systems that allow product and engineering teams to self-serve insights about AI model behavior and MCP interactions.
  • Partner with engineering to build pipelines that support real-time and batch analytics.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Collaborate with product owners across LSEG to instrument their AI features consistently.
  • Partner with AI Evaluation PM, Model Risk, GSSR, Legal and Compliance to align telemetry with governance frameworks.
  • Work closely with Engineering and SRE teams to drive observability improvements and reliability engineering for AI systems.
• Optimisation & Insights
  • Identify cost inefficiencies across model and MCP usage, and drive recommendations to improve ROI.
  • Surface workflow-level insights on how customers use AI features—informing product roadmaps.
  • Partner with product leaders across divisions to understand how telemetry can improve customer experience, reliability and performance.
• Governance & Standards
  • Define and maintain AI telemetry standards and best practices across all LSEG divisions.
  • Contribute to LSEG’s AI governance and Responsible AI initiatives by providing data-driven insights on model behavior and user impact.
  • Ensure telemetry systems support auditability, compliance and explainability requirements.

Skills & Competencies

• Required
  • Experience in product management with a strong foundation in observability, telemetry, data platforms, monitoring, or SRE/DevOps-driven products.
  • Understanding of LLMs, embeddings, vector search, MCP tools, and AI inference workflows.
  • Deep familiarity with logging, tracing, metrics, and event-based telemetry systems.
  • Ability to define data schemas, signal taxonomies, aggregation strategies and data contracts.
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to derive insights from large-scale system telemetry.
  • Experience working with senior engineering, data science, risk and governance stakeholders.
• Preferred
  • Exposure to financial data, analytics systems and enterprise-scale data workflows.
  • Familiarity with BI tools, metrics stores, distributed tracing and monitoring stacks.
  • Understanding of cloud infrastructure, serverless runtimes, API gateways and model hosting architectures.
  • Ability to drive cross-functional alignment and establish group-wide standards.

Measures of Success

• Platform Reliability & Performance
  • Reduction in AI system error rates, latency spikes and operational incidents.
  • Stability and transparency of MCP usage across product lines.
  • Quality and coverage of telemetry signals across all AI-enabled products.
• Insight Generation & Adoption
  • Adoption of telemetry dashboards and self-service tools across divisions.
  • Number of identified and resolved model or MCP reliability issues driven by telemetry.
  • Level of insight generated to influence product prioritisation and AI model choices.
• Operational Efficiency & Cost
  • Improved cost transparency and cost-saving impact via telemetry-driven optimisation.
  • Reduction in unnecessary model invocation or inefficient tool usage.
• Governance & Compliance
  • Contribution to Responsible AI frameworks through robust, auditable telemetry.
  • Improved explainability and traceability of AI features for internal and external stakeholders.
