Senior PM, Head of Product or Director of Product role in AI or B2B SaaS. I own products end to end: strategy, discovery, pricing and go-to-market, and stay hands-on (I prototype with Claude Code and pull my own data). Looking for a team that ships fast and decides on evidence. Fully remote across European and Gulf time zones; open to full-time or contract.

Product leader at Machine Mode building an AI co-pilot that turns football match footage into tactical insights and training sessions.
What I'm looking for
At Machine Mode, I own the product end to end for an AI co-pilot that turns football match footage into video-backed tactical insights and training sessions. I designed the logic behind its proprietary models and took the product from prototype to a pilot-ready beta, securing pilots with top-flight clubs.
At AloTech, I led the product portfolio and built the AI product portfolio from scratch. I took CX Insights from discovery to launch, cutting qualitative analysis time from weeks to minutes and adding 15% to total revenue, and integrated LLMs into the platform with engineering.
Earlier, I owned CRM and BPMS product lines at Hermes İletişim and led product and portfolio work across technology, SaaS security and international markets. I’m PSPO I and PSPO II certified, with experience working with customers, partners and teams across countries.
