Product Owner
Overview of the role
We are looking for a hands-on product owner to build, integrate and scale Al-Futtaim Automotive’s customer engagement platform—a connected layer that unifies customer data, journey orchestration and engagement across web, mobile, messaging, campaigns, service and AI-enabled interactions.
This is product-and-build work, not programme or vendor management. The role requires someone who can personally design, integrate and iterate solutions across multiple enterprise systems, turning a fragmented set of tools into one coherent, AI-enabled platform.
You will own the platform end-to-end—from architecture through build, launch, adoption and continuous optimization, creating a unified, predictive and personalized engagement layer that drives measurable business outcomes.
What you will do
Personally prototype, build and iterate across the platform stack—data, orchestration, engagement and AI capabilities, treating each iteration as a hypothesis tested against live customer behavior
Design and integrate systems across:
Customer data platforms (CDP)
SAP C4C (CRM)
Genesys (contact center / engagement)
Kore.ai (conversational AI)
Microsoft Azure & Power Platform (cloud and orchestration)
Own how the platform fits together—data models, APIs, integrations and orchestration layers—ensuring systems operate as one unified ecosystem
Define and build the customer and vehicle digital state model, enabling real-time personalization and lifecycle engagement
Design and optimize end-to-end customer journeys across web, mobile, messaging (e.g. WhatsApp), campaigns, service and AI-enabled channels
Embed AI across the platform beyond chat, including:
Next-best-action decisioning
Automation workflows
Content generation
Conversational AI and internal copilots
Continuously improve journeys using live interaction and behavioral data, driving measurable improvements in engagement, conversion and customer experience
Drive end-to-end delivery and launch in collaboration with CX, digital, technology, data, operations and brand teams
Define and manage key platform metrics—adoption, engagement, conversion, retention and cost-to-serve
Required skills to be successful
Proven hands-on experience building and shipping customer-facing platforms or platform-level capabilities integrating data, engagement and AI
Strong experience working with and integrating:
Customer data platforms (CDP)
CRM systems (SAP C4C or equivalent)
Engagement platforms (Genesys, Kore.ai or similar)
Cloud and orchestration tools (Azure, Power Platform)
Strong technical fluency in:
APIs and system integrations
Customer data modelling and identity resolution
Platform architecture and orchestration workflows
Experience designing cross-channel customer journeys with personalization and trigger-based engagement
Practical understanding of LLMs, AI/ML and agent-based architectures applied to customer platforms
Strong product thinking—hypothesis-driven development, rapid iteration and metrics-led decision-making
Strong analytical capability with experience improving engagement, conversion and lifecycle performance
Excellent stakeholder management across business, technology and operations teams
Builder mindset with strong pace of execution and ability to work in ambiguous, transformation environments
About the team
You will be part of Al-Futtaim Automotive’s Digital Ecosystem / Digital Transformation & AI Enablement function.
This team is responsible for building a connected, AI-enabled engagement platform that unifies customer data, orchestration and interactions, delivering seamless, intelligent and personalized experiences across all customer touchpoints.
What equips you for the role
Degree in product management, computer science, engineering, data/analytics, business or a related discipline
8–12+ years’ experience, with:
4–6+ years in product management or platform ownership, and
Proven experience building and integrating platforms combining data, engagement and AI
Demonstrable track record of:
Delivering platform capabilities from architecture — build — launch — optimization
Integrating enterprise systems such as CDP, CRM, cloud, engagement tools and orchestration layers
Working closely with engineering, data and platform teams to build real solutions
Strong preference for candidates who have:
Built customer engagement / martech / growth platforms in-house
Worked in product-led or platform environments (not just vendor-led implementations)
Experience in industries with complex customer journeys (e.g. e-commerce, telco, fintech, mobility)
Experience with conversational AI or AI-enabled customer engagement is a strong advantage
Important note: This is a hands-on platform builder role.
