AI Product Analyst Our client is building cutting-edge AI products for their customers and for colleagues across the group, in tax, HR, health and safety, and care. We can see that people use them; what we cannot yet see with any precision is how well they perform - for which clients, in which sectors, on which kinds of question - and therefore where to invest next. This role answers that. You will own product analytics for our AI products: measuring performance across the dimensions that matter, building the reporting and dashboards the team and the business work from, and drawing out the insight that sits behind the figures. The purpose is to give the business a reliable evidence base for its decisions about where to invest. You will also own the evaluation programme. Where analytics establishes how the product performs in the hands of real users, evaluation establishes whether a change is good enough to release. You will own the datasets the product is tested against and the analysis of what the results mean, working closely with our AI Domain & Workflow Specialist. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected, fast-growing AI division based full-time out of our London office. You'll work alongside a highly technical engineering team to shape what ships, rather than just describing it after the fact. Day-to-Day Responsibilities Product Performance & Analytics: Measure how our AI products perform across retrieval quality, correctness of output, and user engagement. Observability Management: Own production quality observability, tracking metrics like thumbs-down rates, regeneration rates, task abandonment, and usage drift. Dashboard Engineering: Build and maintain the daily analysis and dashboards the AI team relies on, working with engineers to instrument and capture missing data points. Strategic Insight & Segmentation: Interrogate data using cohort comparison, trend analysis, and segmentation (by client type, subject matter, and question type) to identify high-material patterns and outliers. Evaluation Programme Ownership: Define what gets tested, analyse evaluation outputs for regressions, and collaborate with engineers to integrate testing harnesses into the build pipeline. Golden Dataset Curation: Build, version, and maintain curated sets of questions and known good answers, running elicitation sessions with subject matter experts to capture professional edge cases. Cross-Functional Reporting: Translate complex findings into actionable recommendations for the Product Manager and Director to shape priorities and inform the broader roadmap. About You We're looking for AI product analyst who combine strong technical knowledge with excellent communication skills, a proactive approach and a genuine focus on client service. You'll ideally have: Substantial experience as a product, data, or commercial analyst, having owned end-to-end product measurement. Strong hands on SQL and Python skills (or close equivalents), with the ability to construct your own automated analysis and dashboards completely independently. Comfort working with AI or ML systems, possessing a firm understanding of why measuring probabilistic models differs from measuring deterministic products. Exceptional stakeholder communication skills, specifically the ability to draw structured data requirements out of subject matter experts and hold evidence based recommendations in front of senior leaders. Familiarity with advanced AI concepts (Desirable): Experience with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, golden datasets, scoring, regression testing, or A/B experiment design. Domain Exposure (Desirable): Prior experience in tax, HR, health and safety, care, or another regulated professional services environment.Salary & Benefits Salary range from £80,000 - £85,000 per annum, with potential to increase depending on experience. Full-time, Monday-to-Friday working hours. Why Join? This is a remarkable opening for an ambitious analyst who wants to define the metric framework for a scaling AI portfolio from scratch, rather than inheriting someone else's legacy dashboards. You will work directly with in-house professional experts on high-stakes products where structural accuracy and correctness genuinely matter to the person on the other end. If you have the evidence-driven confidence to state clearly when something is not working, we would love to hear from you. 52242HA INDLON The Portfolio Group are acting on behalf of our client in recruiting for this position.

Lead Implementation Manager Department: IT & Change Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time Location: Manchester, UK Description We are looking for a Lead Implementation Manager to own the end-to-end technical delivery of our software to external clients - from kick-off through to live, adopted, and referenceable. You will be the single point of accountability for each implementation: orchestrating the customer, our product and engineering teams, and third parties so that complex software lands cleanly, on time, and to the value the client signed up for. Key Responsibilities Own delivery of the implementation lifecycle for a portfolio of client accounts, from deployment, configuration, and testing through to training, adoption, and handover to ongoing support. Build and maintain robust delivery plans, RAID logs, and governance rhythms, proactively managing scope, timelines, dependencies, and risk in line with client regulatory and compliance frameworks. Use product analytics and business analysis to drive implementations to a clear "done" state, where the client is live, adopting the product, and realising intended outcomes. Act as the trusted senior point of contact for client stakeholders, from operational users through to executive sponsors. Manage expectations and navigate competing priorities, holding firm but constructive lines on scope and commercial boundaries. Translate fluidly between business intent and technical reality, ensuring clear communication between clients and internal teams. Work closely with product and engineering teams, validating releases, triaging issues, and representing customer technical needs with precision. Read and reason about configurations, data structures, integration patterns, and API behaviour well enough to scope work accurately and challenge estimates. Feed structured, prioritised insight back into the product roadmap based on real implementation experience. Produce clear, concise status and risk reporting for executive and leadership audiences, with a defensible view on RAG status, risk, and forecast. Surface escalations early, bringing options and recommendations to leadership. Codify best practice through playbooks, templates, and repeatable implementation methodology that raise the bar across the team. What we're looking for Substantial experience in technical implementation, technical customer success, technical project/programme management, or solutions delivery for software products sold to external clients (SaaS / enterprise software). Demonstrable track record of personally owning complex, multi-stakeholder software implementations through to successful go-live and adoption. Strong project management discipline, including planning, dependency and risk management, and governance, with the judgement to know when to apply rigour and when to move fast. Excellent stakeholder management, up to and including executive/C-level sponsors, with the gravitas to hold difficult conversations and the empathy to keep relationships strong. Technical fluency, comfortable reading configurations, data mappings, logs, and API documentation, and able to converse credibly with engineers and challenge technical assumptions. Clear, structured written and verbal communication, including executive-level reporting. Comfortable operating autonomously and ambiguously as the most senior delivery person in the room. Experience implementing AI / ML or data-intensive products is desirable, along with an understanding of the specific delivery nuances these bring, such as data readiness, model behaviour, and explainability. Exposure to regulated environments, such as financial services or FCA-regulated settings, is desirable, along with familiarity with the governance and risk expectations involved. Familiarity with integration concepts such as APIs, webhooks, SSO, and data pipelines, and tooling such as Jira/Confluence, is desirable. Experience shaping implementation methodology or playbooks at a team or organisational level is desirable. A relevant certification, such as PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile/Scrum, is useful but not required.
