Job Description

We’re working with an established technology business that is going through an exciting period of growth and change. They’re looking for a Head of Product to take ownership of their product strategy, commercial direction and Product function, while helping shape what the business looks like going forward.

This is a broad and genuinely influential role, covering everything from the existing product portfolio through to new products, markets, pricing, go-to-market and AI. You’ll be responsible for protecting and growing what already works, while also identifying and building the opportunities that will drive the next stage of growth.

We’re looking for an experienced Product leader who can think strategically but is still comfortable getting into the detail. Someone who understands customers, commercial outcomes and delivery, and who has the experience to lead a Product function through meaningful change.

You will:

As Head of Product, you’ll take ownership of the full product portfolio and play a key role in shaping the direction of the business. You’ll be responsible for understanding where the products are today, where they need to go and, importantly, making the decisions about what the business should invest in, what needs to change and what is no longer worth pursuing.

A big part of the role will be balancing the established product portfolio with what comes next. The existing products have a significant customer base and are an important source of revenue, so you’ll be focused on improving the customer experience, retention, adoption and commercial performance while continuing to modernise the products in a sensible and sustainable way. At the same time, you’ll be looking at new markets, customer segments and product opportunities, taking ideas from early validation through to launch and making evidence-based decisions about where to invest further.

You’ll also have real ownership of the commercial side of Product. This includes pricing and packaging, understanding what customers are willing to pay, building the business case for investment and working closely with Sales and Marketing to make sure products are positioned, launched and adopted effectively. You’ll be expected to understand not just what should be built, but why it makes commercial sense to build it.

Delivery will be another important part of your remit. You’ll work closely with Engineering as a peer, helping to set priorities, make trade-offs and ensure the things the Product team commits to actually make it into customers' hands. You’ll bring greater predictability to releases and make sure quality, customer readiness and adoption are considered alongside the roadmap.

There is also a significant opportunity to shape the use of AI across the product portfolio. You’ll help identify where AI can genuinely improve the customer experience and create value, while making sure it is applied responsibly and appropriately within a complex and regulated environment. You’ll also be expected to bring AI into the way the Product team works, rather than simply treating it as another product feature.

Alongside all of this, you’ll lead and develop the Product function itself. You’ll assess capability, coach and develop existing leaders, hire where needed and raise the standard of product practice across the organisation. You’ll work closely with senior leaders across Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Service and Finance, influencing outcomes across functions and bringing everyone back to the same customer and business objectives.

Ultimately, this is a role for someone who wants to be close to both the strategy and the work. You’ll spend time with customers, challenge assumptions, get into the detail when needed and make the decisions that determine where the product portfolio goes next.

About you

You will be an experienced Product leader with a strong commercial mindset and a track record of turning product strategy into measurable business outcomes.

We are looking for someone who has experience across both mature and new products. You will have managed established products with significant customer and revenue responsibility, while also having taken new products from idea through to market.

You will ideally bring:

• 10+ years' experience in Product Management, including several years leading Product teams or senior Product leaders

• Proven experience owning product strategy across a complex portfolio

• Commercial experience across pricing, packaging, business cases and unit economics

• Experience taking new products to market and validating demand with customers

• Strong go-to-market experience working alongside Sales and Marketing

• A track record of owning delivery, not just product roadmaps

• Experience building, coaching and developing high-performing Product teams

• Strong customer engagement and stakeholder management skills

• Experience working with legacy technology and established customer bases

• Practical experience using modern AI tools within Product

• Experience delivering AI-enabled products into a live customer environment

• The ability to influence across Engineering, Design, Sales, Marketing, Finance and other functions

Healthcare, health technology, B2B SaaS, regulated environments, data products, cloud transformation or experience operating across multiple markets would be highly advantageous.

The opportunity

This is a role for someone who wants to have a genuine influence on what a technology business becomes next. You will have the scale and complexity of an established product portfolio, alongside the opportunity to build new products, enter new markets and reshape how Product operates. The successful candidate will be commercially minded, customer focused and comfortable getting into the detail. You will be strategic enough to set the direction, but hands-on enough to challenge a roadmap, join a customer conversation, work through a pricing model or get into the detail with your team.

If you are an experienced Product leader looking for a role with genuine ownership, significant scale and the opportunity to make a lasting impact, we'd like to hear from you. Please apply via this advert, and we will be in touch if your experience aligns.
