Technical Product Manager

I am working with a venture-backed AI company building intelligent automation for a large, traditionally under-digitised industry. Their AI-powered product is already live with pilot customers, delivering strong results and driving toward scale in 2026. The Role They're looking for a Technical Product Manager to own how the business knows its AI product is actually performing. This is a broad, hands-on role covering quality assurance, AI evaluation, and day-to-day product operations on a small, fast-moving team. You'll own the evaluation suites and test scenarios that measure product quality, track performance over time, and turn real customer feedback into clear priorities. You'll run daily issue triage, partner closely with Customer Success, and own features from problem definition through to delivery. The team runs much of its workflow through lightweight agentic tools, so you'll need to be genuinely comfortable working this way, not just familiar with AI in theory.
