Principal Product Manager, AI

ICIS is building the AI capability that will define how chemical markets get intelligence, and this role owns the platform foundations that make it possible. You will define the AI-ready data strategy, semantics layer, and MCP-first distribution approach that powers internal product teams, partner integrations, and AI-native customer experiences. This is a highly influential individual contributor role where you will shape platform standards, drive adoption, and help establish how ICIS delivers trusted market intelligence through AI.

• Own the platform mission and roadmap for AI-ready data, semantics, and MCP-first distribution.
• Define the standards, data contracts, schemas, versioning, deprecation approaches, and quality measures that underpin AI-ready data across ICIS.
• Evaluate customer signals and identify which repeatable workflows should become platform primitives, which remain bespoke, and which should be retired.
• Drive adoption of platform primitives across internal product teams, measuring success through usage and business impact.
• Shape AI-native distribution strategy, including protocols, channels, integrations, and commercial approaches.
• Lead the AI-ready data and content operations platform squad, providing direction and alignment without direct people management responsibility.
• Co-author the operating model for scalable AI platforms, including evaluation, oversight, lineage, and responsible AI capabilities.
• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to accelerate adoption, integrations, and commercial opportunities.

You will work directly with the VP Product Management and leadership across ICIS to help shape how the AI operating model evolves at ICIS, including how platform capabilities support delivery squads, products, and partner integrations. The AI-native distribution strategy is a strategic investment by ICIS, and this role is central to bringing that vision to life. As the platform capability expands, progression opportunities may include deeper individual contributor leadership, broader platform ownership, or future leadership opportunities within the growing AI platform organisation.

How You Work with the Rest of the Organisation:

• Partner closely with forward-deployed squads, using customer signals and real-world workflows to prioritise platform primitives and capabilities.
• Enable adoption across the wider ICIS product estate through office hours, enablement activities, and stakeholder engagement.
• Collaborate with external partners across AI platforms and data distribution channels, helping shape commercial and technical integration strategies.
• Act as a credible platform spokesperson when engaging with customers on AI-native distribution, MCP integrations, and platform capabilities, supporting commercial conversations alongside Sales teams.
