AI Product Owner

Lead the product direction for a major international AI transformation — turning strategy into clear priorities, roadmaps and delivery across complex enterprise programmes. Open to South Africa-based candidates. We're looking for an AI Product Owner to play a pivotal role in a major enterprise-wide AI transformation for one of the Middle East's leading financial institutions. This is a priority role within a programme delivering six major AI projects, building self-contained agentic AI systems on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You'll sit at the centre of business, technology and delivery — taking strategic objectives and turning them into a clear, prioritised, executable roadmap for engineering teams. You'll own prioritisation and delivery accountability across interconnected AI workstreams, helping senior stakeholders make decisions, managing trade-offs and ensuring technical teams always know what needs to be delivered next and why. This isn't a traditional Product Owner role focused purely on managing tickets. We need someone commercially strong, technically fluent and confident working with senior stakeholders in a fast-moving enterprise transformation where requirements continue to evolve as the technology is built. Location: an international client assignment based in Riyadh, working on site with the client and wider delivery team. Open to South Africa-based candidates.
