What We Need

The company is currently looking to hire a Technical Product Owner within our the company International Vehicle Payments division. This position falls under our Allstar line of business and is located London. We are looking for a delivery-focused Technical Product Owner to turn business problems into valuable, production-ready AI and data products.

You will sit between business stakeholders, Data Science, Engineering and Technology teams: clarifying opportunities, gathering and structuring requirements, prioritising delivery, and ensuring that AI solutions are practical, measurable, governed and adopted. A core part of the role is helping the Data Science team understand the business context behind the data—what decisions need improving, what questions must be answered, what data is required, and how success will be measured.

This is not a pure strategy role. You will own the delivery discipline that takes AI initiatives from discovery and analysis through experimentation, implementation, launch and continuous improvement.

• What success looks like
• Business problems are clearly framed, prioritised and connected to measurable outcomes.
• Data Scientists receive clear, usable analytical requirements and sufficient business context to produce relevant insight.
• AI and data initiatives move efficiently from idea to validated pilot to operational product.
• Delivery teams have a well-managed backlog, clear priorities and early visibility of risks and dependencies.

• Products are adopted, monitored and improved based on evidence—not assumed value.
• AI solutions are safe, governed and fit for use in the organisation’s operational context.
• Ideal profile
• You are a pragmatic, analytical product owner who enjoys working close to delivery teams. You can move between a business workshop, a data-analysis review and an engineering planning session without losing sight of the user problem or desired outcome. You do not need to be the person building the model, but you understand enough about data and AI to ask the right questions, shape high-quality requirements and help teams make sound decisions.
