About MPB.
MPB is the world's largest platform for used photo and video kit. We make buying, selling and trading cameras and lenses simple, sustainable and trustworthy, and we're still growing across the UK, US and Europe.
At MPB, teams across the business are already using AI to work smarter. Now we’re building a dedicated AI Automation Hub to turn that energy into production-grade, agentic automation that makes a real difference to how we work.
The Hub is a new, purpose-built team with its own mandate and backlog. Its job is to identify and deliver high-value internal AI use cases, and to act as a centre of excellence for emerging technology, working closely with colleagues across every function. Where we learn something new, we’ll share it widely.
Three roles, one team
The Hub is built around three lead roles that work in lockstep, each part of its own specialist function:
Together, you’ll take ideas from first concept to trusted, production-ready tools, with humans kept firmly in the loop.
This role.
This hub is small, autonomous and deliberately lead-less. And it needs someone to give it direction.
As our Lead AI Product Manager, you'll turn "what could AI do for us?" into a clear, sequenced programme of work that delivers real value for the business and our customers. You'll own the hub's backlog and its rhythm of delivery, frame every experiment with a sharp hypothesis, and work with our Decision & AI Scientist to define what good looks like, including when an Eval is needed. Alongside our Lead AI Automation Engineer, you'll steward ideas from first prototype through to production.
You'll also be the go-to person for teams across MPB who want to use AI in their own function, coaching them through our Innovation Framework to find, scope and test the right use cases responsibly.
And you'll be honest about what you find. On every bet, you'll recommend whether to kill it, double down or hand it off, and you'll say so clearly to senior stakeholders. Show, don't tell: working prototypes, evaluated demos and clear data are how you bring people with you.
What you will bring.
Why MPB.
Build something new. The AI Automation hub is a genuine chance to shape how a category leader uses AI, with real ownership rather than a slide deck.
Make an impact on a circular business. Everything we do helps kit get a longer life, which is good for people and good for the planet.
Work with people who say what they think. We value honesty, ownership and creativity over hierarchy, and we're growing across three markets.
MPB transforms the way people buy, sell and trade used photo and video kit. As the world’s largest online platform specialising in used photography and videography equipment, MPB is a destination for everyone, whether you’ve just discovered your passion for visual storytelling or you’re already a pro.
We have always been committed to making kit more accessible and affordable, and helping to visualise a more sustainable future. We recirculate more than 610,000 items of used kit every year, extending the life and creative potential of photo and video kit for visual storytellers around the world.
Headquartered in the creative communities of Brighton, Brooklyn and Berlin, the MPB team includes trained camera experts and seasoned photographers and videographers who bring their passion to work every day to deliver outstanding service.
