About the role
- Own the enterprise product strategy and roadmap for AI-enabled knowledge work across CommBank.
- Shape products and experiences that help colleagues work more effectively and create measurable business value.
- Lead responsible AI innovation at scale within one of Australia’s largest technology environments.
Do Work That Matters
Technology at CommBank is pursuing a bold ambition: to become an AI-native bank. We are using AI to transform how we build, operate, secure and modernise technology, while maintaining the resilience and security of the critical infrastructure millions of Australians depend on every day.
As Executive Product Owner, AI Enablement, you will work with the General Manager, Group AI Enablement to shape and execute the product vision for how AI transforms knowledge work across CommBank. You will turn our AI ambition, business priorities and employee needs into a coherent portfolio of enterprise products, capabilities and experiences.
This is an opportunity to grow and lead a high-performing product function, collaborate with experts across the Group and shape what is next for AI-enabled work at CommBank.
See yourself in our team
You will initially lead a cross-functional squad in partnership with an Engineering Lead. As the portfolio grows, your accountability will expand across multiple squads and Product Owners. Working with business units and functions across CommBank, you will understand how work gets done today and identify where AI, automation and agents can make a meaningful difference.
In this role, you will:
- Own the product vision, strategy and prioritised roadmap for AI-enabled knowledge work, balancing employee value, productivity, cost, risk and delivery effort.
- Shape the enterprise AI product portfolio, guiding decisions about what to build, buy, integrate, scale, improve or retire.
- Identify where foundational tools are not enough and lead the development of integrations, agents, applications and experiences that solve real problems in the flow of work.
- Lead product discovery, experimentation and pilots, turning validated opportunities into reusable capabilities and repeatable approaches.
- Connect Group capabilities with business unit needs, aligning roadmaps, encouraging reuse and reducing unnecessary duplication.
- Establish OKRs and measures for productivity, capacity release, adoption, cost effectiveness and employee experience.
- Build and develop a strong product function, coaching Product Owners and fostering a customer-led, evidence-based product culture.
- Embed responsible AI throughout the product lifecycle in partnership with Risk, Privacy, Legal, Cyber Security and Responsible AI teams.
We’re interested in hearing from people who:
Bring significant enterprise product leadership experience, with a track record of translating emerging technologies into practical, responsible products and experiences. You’ll combine strategic judgement with strong product discovery and delivery capability, and be comfortable influencing senior technical and non-technical stakeholders across a complex organisation.
You will bring:
- Demonstrated experience owning and scaling digital products, platforms or experiences in a large, complex organisation.
- Strong understanding of the AI landscape and the judgement to turn emerging capabilities into useful, scalable solutions.
- Experience building technology products, with the ability to make informed build, buy, integrate, extend and retirement decisions.
- Customer-led product discovery skills and a strong understanding of workflows, unmet needs and measurable outcomes.
- Commercial and strategic judgement across investment, standardisation, reuse, rationalisation and product portfolio decisions.
- Experience leading cross-functional teams across engineering, design, data, risk and business functions.
- Success developing Product Owners or other product leaders and growing a product operating model.
- Exceptional communication and influencing skills, supported by curiosity, continuous learning and sound judgement in a regulated environment.
