Product Manager- AI Implementation at Scrumconnect Consulting, London Area, £Contract Rate

Product Manager - AI Implementation (Outside IR35)

Start Date: ASAP

Location: Remote

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to join a high-impact programme focused on implementing an AI solution within a large central government department. You will work at the heart of the programme, helping delivery teams onboard to the solution, providing hands-on guidance, and ensuring teams are maximising the value of AI within their services.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how AI is adopted across a significant public sector organisation, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to embed the solution effectively and drive measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the product management of an AI solution being rolled out across multiple service teams, owning the product roadmap and backlog.
• Support teams through onboarding, providing clear guidance, training, and documentation to accelerate adoption.
• Act as the go-to expert for teams looking to understand and maximise the use of the AI solution within their specific service context.
• Work closely with technical, policy, and delivery stakeholders to remove blockers and ensure teams are getting the most value from the platform.
• Define and track key metrics to measure adoption, usage, and impact of the AI solution across the programme.
• Gather and synthesise user feedback from onboarded teams to inform iterative improvements to guidance, tooling, and rollout approach.
• Contribute to governance, assurance, and responsible AI considerations, ensuring the solution is used appropriately and in line with policy.
• Communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, producing concise updates, roadmaps, and recommendations.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as a Product Manager in a digital or technology-led environment, ideally within or alongside the UK public sector.
• Experience working with AI, machine learning, or data-driven products — either implementing, managing, or scaling them.
• Strong understanding of user-centred design principles and Agile delivery methodologies.
• Track record of supporting adoption and onboarding of new tools or platforms across large, complex organisations.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills — able to engage confidently at all levels, from service teams to senior leadership.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language for non-technical audiences.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear product documentation and guidance materials.

Desirable

• Experience working within or alongside central government, particularly on digital transformation or AI/data programmes.
• Familiarity with the GDS Service Standard and Government Design Principles.
• Experience with responsible AI frameworks, data ethics, or AI governance.
• APMG, BCS, or equivalent product/agile certifications.
