About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Defining and owning the AI Services strategy and roadmap, with a clear path to revenue and profitability, and owning the P&L end-to-end — pricing, unit economics, the lot.
Identifying and prioritising AI-driven revenue opportunities across consumer and trade audiences, and building the business cases that bring them to life for the CEO and Board.
Partnering closely with our COO and CTO to shape and deliver the AI product roadmap, building products that solve genuine problems for homeowners and tradespeople alike.
Staying on top of where AI is heading — LLMs, agentic systems, computer vision — and translating that into what's genuinely useful for our customers, managing any third-party AI partners along the way.
Recruiting and leading a cross-functional team across product, engineering, data science and commercial, and building a culture of innovation and pace that attracts great people.
Representing AI Services on the OpCo and working closely with Marketing, Sales and Operations to embed AI into how we already work — while keeping a close eye on the regulatory and ethical side of deploying AI products.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A track record of building and scaling a new product line or business unit within consumer tech or a marketplace.
Experience commercialising B2B software, AI or data products — from concept through to revenue.
Strong commercial acumen, ideally with P&L ownership, and a genuine understanding of how AI technologies translate into real customer value.
Outstanding communication skills — able to inspire a room at Board level just as easily as on the ground with your team.
