[What you will be working on]

Shape MSF's AI transformation around business outcomes

• Work with senior leaders and business teams to identify priority policy, service delivery and operational challenges where AI could deliver meaningful impact.

• Lead problem discovery before solutioning, understanding user needs, workflows, pain points, underlying data and desired outcomes.

• Challenge requests framed simply as "we need an AI solution" and help teams define the problem to be solved, outcome to be achieved and how success will be measured.

• Identify opportunities to redesign workflows and operating models with AI, rather than simply automating existing processes.

• Develop and maintain a portfolio view of AI opportunities across MSF, connecting related needs and identifying opportunities for reuse and scale.

• Work with enterprise Product Managers to identify where AI capabilities should form part of their respective product strategies and roadmaps.

Assess AI opportunities within MSF product portfolio

• Establish a structured product discovery and prioritisation approach for AI opportunities arising across MSF.

• Assess opportunities based on business and citizen impact, user need, feasibility, data readiness, risk, scalability and effort.

• Define clear problem statements, hypotheses, success metrics and target outcomes before significant technology investment is made.

• Use experimentation, prototypes and proofs-of-value where appropriate to test assumptions and de-risk investments.

• Determine whether an opportunity requires a new AI capability, can leverage an existing capability, or should be addressed through the evolution of an existing enterprise product.

• Recommend which opportunities should be stopped, iterated, scaled or productised.

Drive high-impact AI use cases with the AI Programme Office and enterprise product teams

• Act as the business-facing Product Manager for selected strategic AI initiatives, owning the problem definition, product vision, user outcomes and prioritisation.

• Work jointly with the AI Programme Office, Product Managers, AI engineers, data teams and business owners from discovery through experimentation, delivery and scale.

• Ensure AI capabilities are embedded within the relevant enterprise products and solutions wherever appropriate, with clear ownership, roadmap alignment and ongoing lifecycle management.

• Translate complex business workflows and domain requirements into clear product requirements that technical teams can solve against.

• Maintain strong business ownership throughout delivery rather than "handing over" the problem once technology development begins.

• Define and track product metrics to determine whether deployed AI capabilities are achieving their intended business and user outcomes.

• Identify reusable AI capabilities that can serve multiple products and domains rather than creating duplicated point solutions.

• Work with the respective enterprise Product Managers to ensure successful AI capabilities transition into business-as-usual product ownership, operations and continuous improvement.

Enable responsible AI governance and adoption

• Support the development and implementation of MSF's AI governance, evaluation and adoption frameworks.

• Embed responsible AI considerations into product discovery and delivery, including appropriate evaluation, assurance and risk management.

• Help business teams understand what responsible AI adoption means in practice and make informed trade-offs between value, risk and operational readiness.

• Ensure AI capabilities are governed across MSF, rather than governance ending at initial deployment.

• Surface common organisational, data, technology and capability barriers encountered during delivery and translate these into improvements to MSF's AI strategy and enablers.

• Support leaders and teams in moving from experimentation towards sustained adoption in everyday work.

Build product thinking for AI across MSF

• Coach business owners and teams in product discovery, experimentation, prioritisation and outcome-based delivery for AI initiatives.

• Build a culture where AI initiatives begin with user and business problems rather than technology solutions.

• Help business teams understand how AI may change the end-to-end workflow, rather than treating AI as an additional tool layered onto existing processes.

• Strengthen collaboration between business owners, the AI Programme Office and business stakeholders so that AI-enabled transformation has enduring ownership.

• Strengthen the connection between AI transformation and MSF's broader move towards durable, empowered and multi-disciplinary product teams.

[What we are looking for]

• Strategic Depth: 10+ years of experience in Product Management, with a proven track record of leading large-scale technology platforms or AI-driven digital transformations. 

• Technical Fluency: A strong conceptual understanding of AI/ML (LLMs, Agentic workflows, RAG, and Computer Vision) and the ability to navigate architectural discussions with Lead Engineers. 

• Systems Thinking: The ability to see the "big picture"—understanding how a single AI capability can be leveraged across multiple government domains to create a multiplier effect. 

• Stakeholder Influence: Exceptional ability to align senior leadership, developers, and non-technical stakeholders around a shared product roadmap.

This role will start off on a 2 year direct contract.
