Agentic AI Product Lead

London | Hybrid (1-2 days/week) | Full-time

A pre-product-market-fit AI startup is looking for a Product Lead to own what gets built, changed, or stopped for a tool that helps enterprises deploy AI more safely and cost-effectively. You'll report directly to the CEO and work closely with a small Science and Engineering team.

What You'd Do

• Own the roadmap and be accountable for outcomes
• Talk to customers directly and turn what you learn into testable product hypotheses
• Run the cadence between Product, Science and Engineering — clear priorities, real decisions, closed work
• Prototype fast yourself, then work with Engineering to ship what's validated
• Take decision rights on roadmap, scope and priorities after an initial period building context alongside the founders

What They're Looking For

• A technical/engineering background, having personally shipped AI or agentic products
• Comfortable prototyping yourself (Python or similar)
• Real 0-to-1 product experience: founding PM, early-stage lead, ex-founder, or technical consultant who owned what got built
• Deep AI fluency: LLM APIs, agentic systems, evaluation, traces, and how these things fail in production
• Familiarity with tools like LangChain/LangGraph, LLM evaluation platforms (e.g. LangSmith, Braintrust), and experience across multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source)
• Hands-on customer discovery or user research experience
• You move from ambiguous problems to evidence-backed decisions without waiting for consensus on every call
• You listen before proposing solutions and change your mind when the evidence changes
• Enterprise AI deployment, evaluation or observability experience a plus
• Formal AI education is a plus, but lived experience with agentic AI matters more
• Small founding team, CEO as your direct line
• First 3 months: shape strategy alongside founders as they build context with you
• After that: full ownership of roadmap, scope and prioritisation
• Founders stay focused on commercial strategy and scientific direction
• Growth path toward CPO as the company scales
