AI Product Owner

AI Product Owner
Türkiye, İstanbul | Hybrid | Permanent | Full-time
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are building a dedicated AI Consulting practice to drive enterprise-wide AI transformation, with a strong focus on the Microsoft AI ecosystem (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Cowork, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry) alongside the SAP AI ecosystem. We are now looking for an AI Product Owner who will be assigned directly to AI projects and drive them hands-on — from the first conversation with users to a working solution in their hands.
In this role, you are the person in the room with the business. You will listen to their problems and requests, and distinguish what genuinely calls for AI from what is better solved through a process change, standard system functionality, reporting, or classic automation. While you listen, you are already shaping the solution in your head — and you use it to steer the conversation, challenge assumptions, and guide stakeholders toward the approach that will actually work.
You will be the bridge between business users and the development team: turning what you hear into clear requirements, user stories, and solution designs, handing them over to developers, and staying with the project until it delivers value. AI is not purely a developer topic — generative AI can be interpreted, applied, and misunderstood in many different ways. That is why you need to be a confident, hands-on user of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Cowork, and Copilot Studio yourself, so you can demonstrate, prototype, and discuss realistic options with users instead of talking in abstractions.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Computer/Software Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a related field
5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or Functional/Solution Consultant in enterprise technology or digital transformation projects
Proven hands-on experience with end-to-end ERP business processes — especially Finance and Production, as well as Procurement, Supply Chain, and Sales — gained in ERP projects, as a functional consultant, or as a key user
Experience in a manufacturing or industrial company, with a solid understanding of production processes (e.g., production planning, shop-floor execution, quality, maintenance) and how they connect to finance and costing
At least 2 years of hands-on involvement in generative AI or AI-enabled projects (e.g., Copilot/LLM-based assistants, AI agents, chatbots, document intelligence) — from discovery through go-live
Proven ability to run requirement-gathering sessions with business users and turn ambiguous requests into structured requirements, user stories, and solution designs
Active, everyday user of Microsoft 365 Copilot, with hands-on experience building or configuring solutions in Copilot Studio and familiarity with Copilot Cowork and agentic Copilot capabilities
Solid understanding of generative AI concepts — LLMs, prompt design, grounding/RAG, agents, evaluation, and limitations such as hallucination — and the ability to discuss them clearly with non-technical audiences
Strong facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills; comfortable leading meetings with senior business leaders and developers alike
Fluent Turkish and professional working proficiency in English (written and verbal)
