Principal Product Manager

Why Faculty?

We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here.

We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.

AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.

About the team

In Product and Design, we bring together product managers, product designers and service designers in a central team covering the breadth of Faculty’s Applied AI division. In partnership with our Business Units, we form multidisciplinary teams and work with data scientists, engineers and delivery colleagues to create durable AI-powered software solutions for clients across a variety of industries.

Both product management and design are critical disciplines to create impact with AI. While data science and machine learning offer a powerful means to build insight and predictive capability, those insights are often consumed within a complex operational environment where human and organisational factors determine whether solutions are adopted and ultimately successful.

Closing the gap between the outputs of a model and the outcomes desired by our clients requires us to go beyond data and technology to address the human side – product and design are critical to this.

As a Principal Product Manager at Faculty, you will own and develop the Product Management discipline within Applied AI while driving transformational client outcomes. You will establish modern product capabilities, skill frameworks, and delivery standards that enable teams to build durable, AI-powered products.

You bring an agile, pragmatic approach to problem-solving, focused on getting things done while building long-term organisational capability.

You carry an entrepreneurial mindset and excellent communication skills, passionate about articulating the value of product management to clients and peers.

You enjoy split accountabilities, seamlessly transitioning between capability development, high-impact client delivery, business development, and team mentorship.
