AI Product Lead

London (hybrid) · £80,000 + EMI equity options Alteam partners with founders to build the teams that get them to product-market fit. We're hiring on behalf of a VC-backed LLM startup — founded by a serial entrepreneur and a leading AI researcher. Their first product analyses production agent workflows and gives enterprises the evidence to replace expensive LLM-based calls safely with cheaper alternatives. Why now They're pre-product-market-fit, funded, and ready to hand product decisions to one person. For your first three months, you drive strategy with the founders as final decision-makers while you build context. After that, roadmap, scope and priorities are yours. Founders keep commercial strategy and scientific direction. Growth path toward Head of Product / CPO as the company scales. What you decide is what gets built — and you'll watch it land with real enterprise customers within weeks. The role Reporting to the CEO, you own product strategy: what gets built, changed or stopped. * Own the roadmap and be accountable for the outcomes. * Talk to customers directly; turn insight into testable hypotheses. * Run the cadence between Product, Science and Engineering — priorities clear, decisions made, work closed. * Prototype fast, then ship validated ideas with Engineering. What we're looking for * Several years in product with real 0→1 experience — founding PM, early-stage lead, ex-founder, or technical consultant who owned what got built. * Deep AI fluency: LLM APIs, agentic systems, evaluation, traces, production failure modes. You hold the room with Science and Engineering. Formal AI education is a bonus; lived experience with agentic AI matters more. * Hands-on customer discovery or user research. * Product-first, with hands-on prototyping (e.g. Python) a strong plus. * Comfortable taking ambiguous problems to evidence-backed decisions without needing consensus on every call. * Enterprise AI deployment, evaluation or observability experience is a plus. You listen before proposing solutions, and you change your mind when the evidence changes. You want real authority — and you're comfortable owning the failures as well as the wins. Apply through Alteam, and we'll tell you exactly who they are. For a successful application, we recommend a short cover letter (we can tell if you used AI), sharing your portfolio, and including practical use cases. It's a very competitive role; you need to stand out!
