Jobs in Gullane

AI Product Lead - Financial Technology / Financial Services (Glasgow or Edinburgh, Hybrid)

Salary: Circa £80,000 - £120,000
Location: Glasgow or Edinburgh, hybrid working

Our client is a leading fintech specialising in data, helping some of the world's largest financial institutions manage and make sense of critical data. They've recently built an embedded AI capability within their platform, and are now looking for an AI Product Lead to take it from ad hoc, SME-led innovation into a structured, scalable, repeatable product capability.

This is a genuinely new role - no legacy backlog to inherit, no fixed way of doing things to unlearn. You'll be defining how AI product delivery works here, not just executing someone else's playbook.

What you'll be doing:

Owning and managing the AI product backlog end to end
Translating input from customers, internal stakeholders and technical SMEs into well-defined, buildable features
Breaking ambiguous AI concepts into practical, shippable increments
Working closely with Engineering to guide ideas through to live, adopted features
Helping define how AI delivery is measured and improved over timeWhat we're looking for:

Proven experience owning a product backlog, with real evidence of turning ambiguous ideas into shipped, adopted features
Comfortable operating hands-on at execution level, not purely strategic or research-focused
Experience in data-heavy, workflow-driven platforms
Financial services background (banking, asset management, insurance), and familiarity with reconciliation, financial data, or operational controls - desirable, not essential
FCA-regulated environment experience, or B2B SaaS/platform product background - desirable, not essentialWhat's on offer:

Circa £80,000-£120,000 base, genuinely open on positioning given this is a new role for the team
Strong benefits package including enhanced annual leave, salary-exchange pension, bonus schemes, private healthcare, life insurance, and learning/development access
Hybrid working - Glasgow or Edinburgh basedInterested in finding out more, on a fully confidential basis? Get in touch.
