The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the full lifecycle of new AI-driven products, from defining the problem through launch and ongoing refinement.

What you'll do

• Lead new AI products from initial problem definition through launch and iteration.
• Set product strategy, shape the roadmap and make clear trade-offs in a fast-changing environment.
• Partner with engineering and design to prototype quickly using current AI capabilities.
• Design experiences that pair automation with human review, escalation and operational controls.
• Define how the team will judge whether a product is accurate, dependable, safe and valuable to the business.
• Work alongside operations colleagues, refine day-to-day workflows and keep a steady loop of input flowing between users and internal teams.
• Set up team routines, metrics and processes so that products that work can grow.
• Weigh quantitative results alongside user comments to decide what to work on next and keep refining the product.

• Enough technical fluency to discuss tooling with engineers and prototype ideas yourself.
