Product Lead, AI

Be the engine behind AI execution, clarity, and scale

At BJAK, we are building Southeast Asia's leading digital financial platform – fast. Our mission is to simplify access to insurance and financial services for millions, and AI is at the core of that transformation. As Product Lead, AI, you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founder and leadership team to turn cutting-edge ideas into real-world execution, and execution into measurable impact.

This is not a strategy-only role. It's a high-trust, high-responsibility position for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, owns outcomes end-to-end, and has the technical and operational depth to deliver projects hands-on. You will lead AI-driven initiatives across teams, fix execution gaps, and build systems that scale – because you're personally invested in the company's success.

Why this role matters

• Translate the CEO's AI vision into clear, actionable product priorities

• Drive execution of AI and automation projects across the company

• Act as the central hub of coordination for AI-enabled initiatives

• Solve high-impact product and operational problems with speed and structure

• Scale the company by embedding AI solutions into core processes

What You Will Doi) AI Product Strategy & Delivery

• Partner with the CEO and leadership to define, track, and deliver on AI-driven initiatives and OKRs

• Own end-to-end implementation of AI/tech projects – from planning to deployment

• Identify process gaps and implement AI/automation solutions that accelerate scale

ii) Hands-on Project Implementation

• Roll up your sleeves to design, test, and implement AI-driven tools and workflows

• Ensure seamless integration of AI systems into existing company processes

iii) Cross-functional Leadership Support

• Coordinate cross-departmental AI initiatives, ensuring alignment and momentum

• Facilitate discussions, decision forums, and workshops to push projects forward

• Partner with department heads to surface execution blockers and drive solutions

iv) Product Ownership

• Take full ownership of AI-related projects that don't have a clear "home"

• Lead pilot programs and new initiatives, from ideation to execution

• Build scalable systems, dashboards, and processes that support long-term AI adoption

You Will Thrive Here If You...

• Treat the company's success as your own, with deep responsibility for outcomes

• Thrive in high-speed, ambiguous environments where priorities evolve quickly

• Take pride in shipping products and delivering tangible results – not just ideas

• Work with intensity, integrity, and zero ego, caring only about the best solution

• Bring a builder's mindset: hands-on, resourceful, and execution-focused

• Communicate clearly and concisely, especially under technical and time pressure

• Stay calm in chaos, solve problems independently, and figure things out without a playbook

• Are willing to push beyond typical hours when mission-critical projects demand it

What You Bring

• ~5 years of experience in product management, engineering, or cross-functional leadership in a high-growth company

• Proven track record of hands-on project delivery – from design to execution – in tech/AI/digital systems

• Strong background in Computer Science, IT, or related technical field (preferred)

• Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with an ability to turn vision into execution

• Experience collaborating directly with executives on high-stakes projects

• Sound judgment and maturity in handling complex, sensitive, or high-pressure situations

• Bonus: Experience in fintech, AI-driven platforms, or founder-led companies
