About the role

Everway helps hundreds of millions of people across education, accessibility, and workplace inclusion understand and be understood. AI is how we scale that, internally and externally. We are hiring a Principal AI Product Owner to lead our internal AI initiative portfolio.

This is a product role at the centre of how AI is applied across the business, for someone who is genuinely excited by innovation and wants to work at the leading edge of applied AI. You will help drive some of the most advanced internal AI initiatives in the company, spanning new ways of using LLMs, agentic systems, and emerging AI capabilities to solve real business problems.

You will work with senior leaders to identify where AI can create meaningful advantage, prioritise the opportunities that matter, and shape them into clear, executable initiatives that the AI engineering team can deliver.

You sit between business intent and technical execution. You bring structure to ambiguity, turning broad ideas into well-defined initiatives with explicit success criteria and clear ownership. You ensure the portfolio stays focused on high-value problems, that work is properly framed before it is built, and that every initiative has a clear business owner, a defined metric, and a credible way to track impact once delivered.

You are responsible for the internal AI portfolio as a whole: how work is prioritised, how initiatives are defined, and how progress is tracked. You will operate across multiple concurrent initiatives, maintaining clarity on what is being built, why it matters, and whether it is delivering value.

You report directly to the EVP of AI and work closely with leaders across the business. This role suits someone with strong product judgement, high standards, and a desire to work on AI initiatives that sit at the forefront of innovation in technology and education.

Main Responsibilities

• Champion AI across the business: identify opportunities, demonstrate what is possible, and build enthusiasm for AI-driven ways of working
• Act as the bridge between the AI engineering team and the business, ensuring initiatives are grounded in real operational need and that both sides understand each other
• Build simple, high-impact solutions where a quick prototype or lightweight automation solves the problem without a full engineering build
• Run the internal AI portfolio end-to-end: prioritise initiatives, scope them with clear success criteria and named business owners, define requirements for engineering, and track ROI and progress against outcomes
• Run the operating cadence and produce high-quality leadership outputs: decision memos, portfolio reviews, and executive updates
• Use AI tools daily to synthesise, draft, prototype, and accelerate your own work. Stay close to the frontier and bring relevant developments to the team proactively

•  

Essential Criteria

• 4+ years of experience in product management, technical programme management, or delivery leadership in a software or AI environment; or 3+ years in AI engineering or senior data science with a desire to move into a product ownership role
• Strong working understanding of modern AI systems: LLM-based workflows, agentic architectures, applied automation, and evaluation
• Hands-on, daily use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as genuine productivity multipliers
• Experience working directly with senior stakeholders and translating strategic priorities into executable plans
• Excellent written communication: requirements, briefs, decision documents, and reporting for mixed technical and non-technical audiences
• Strong commercial judgement and ability to connect product decisions to business value

 

Desirable Criteria

• Experience building or shipping internal AI products, workflow automation, or agentic systems
• Exposure to LLM evaluation, prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, or agentic workflow design
• Background in or close to software engineering, with an understanding of what shipping involves
• Experience with enterprise AI tool deployments (ChatGPT Enterprise, Gemini, Cursor, or similar)
• Familiarity with AI governance, responsible AI, or data protection in a commercial context
• Experience in EdTech, accessibility, or a mission-driven technology organisation
