Your Mission

Take the reins of AI product innovation. You’ll lead the vision, development, and rollout of AI solutions that amplify human potential, beginning with our intelligent assistant, TC Co-Pilot. Your work will be central to redefining how Travel Counsellors deliver value - smarter, faster, and more personally than ever.

This isn’t just backlog management. It’s a role for a strategic thinker, an AI advocate, and a product visionary who thrives on turning possibility into production.

• Define the AI Product Strategy: Align every initiative with our mission to create unforgettable experiences powered by smart, human-first technology.

• Champion AI Change: Help teams across the business embrace AI. You’ll run demos, drive education, and lead the shift to a tech-enabled mindset.

• Translate Ideas into Action: Write AI-first user stories, prioritise experiments, and drive delivery of intelligent features with real impact.

• Measure What Matters: Establish KPIs for product performance, prompt effectiveness, and AI tool adoption. Iterate based on data and feedback.

• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work with engineers, data scientists, designers, and business stakeholders to build scalable, ethical, and delightful AI solutions.

• Stay Ahead of the Curve: Continuously explore new AI technologies, platforms, and trends – and bring them into the product where they drive value.
