You will need sufficient knowledge of generative AI, data, APIs and integrations to challenge assumptions, understand technical trade-offs and make informed product decisions.  The Product Manager will actively contribute to the technical discovery and capability decisions working closely with the Architect

This is a hybrid role, with travel required to our head offices, brand sites and partner locations as needed.

You’ll be rewarded with:

• 33% discount across all M&B brands.
• 20% Friends & Family discount for up to five people.

• Cycle to Work and wellbeing schemes.
• 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays.

What you will be doing in this Product Manager AI role:

• Identify and prioritise the highest-value supplier, guest and colleague use cases using measurable outcomes, feasibility, risk and strategic alignment.
• Define business outcomes, value measures, capability requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Identify the knowledge, data, APIs, systems, tools and workflows required, including their ownership and criticality; work with Architecture and Data teams to assess constraints, dependencies and quality gaps.
• Define business governance, ownership, decision rights and risk appetite, agreeing privacy, access, permissions, monitoring and control requirements with relevant specialists.
• Lead the product, commercial and operating-model assessment of build, buy and partner options, including MCP, RAG and enterprise integration platforms.
• Define and validate proof-of-concept hypotheses and success criteria for priority use cases.
• Own the product roadmap and business case, and jointly develop the phased implementation roadmap with Architecture and Engineering.
  
  

What you will have delivered:

• Enterprise AI Enablement product vision, principles and product strategy.
• Prioritised supplier, guest and colleague use-case portfolio.
• Defined business outcomes, value measures, capability requirements and acceptance criteria for priority use cases.
• Business requirements catalogue covering the knowledge, data, APIs, systems, tools and workflows required, including ownership, criticality, dependencies and quality gaps.
• Business governance, ownership, decision-rights and acceptable-use model, with agreed privacy, access, permissions, monitoring and control requirements.
• Product, commercial and operating-model assessment of build, buy and partner options, contributing to a joint recommendation with the Architect.
• Defined proof-of-concept hypotheses and success criteria, supported by validated business outcomes and user evidence.
• Overall product roadmap and jointly developed phased implementation roadmap, combining business priorities and benefits with technical dependencies, costs and resourcing evidence.
• Benefits and measurement model, including AI performance, adoption and commercial outcomes.
• Evidence-based business case supporting investment and prioritisation decisions.
  
  

What skills you will bring to the Product Manager AI role:

• Experience managing enterprise platform, data, integration or AI-enabled products is essential.
• Strong product discovery, use-case prioritisation, stakeholder management, commercial evaluation, roadmap development and business-case skills are required.
• Candidates should have a good working understanding of generative AI, LLMs, AI assistants and agent-based systems, sufficient to work effectively with architects and engineers and understand the implications of technical decisions.
• Experience with MCP, RAG or enterprise AI platforms would be highly desirable.
