Job Description:
Head of Technology Innovation (Product)
Location: London/Remote (Hybrid circa 2-3 days a week onsite)
Salary: basic salary of £115k
Industry: Professional Services / Legal
Type: Permanent, Full-time
We are currently partnering with a prestigious professional services firm to appoint a Head of Technology Innovation within their Product team. This is a unique opportunity to lead a multi-disciplinary innovation function at the intersection of law and technology.
About the Role
This is a newly defined leadership role, overseeing a well-established cross-functional innovation team including product professionals, data scientists, and product engineers. The core purpose of this team is to provide innovative digital solutions and capabilities to two key internal customer groups:
* Client services
* Operations & commercial services
This is not a platform-heavy technology estate, but rather a selective and intelligent mix of build and buy. You'll be instrumental in determining when to build bespoke tools (often in Python) and when to partner with external solutions - always with a keen focus on product value, user needs, and ROI.
Responsibilities
* Lead and evolve the firm's innovation and product capabilities across legal and operational functions.
* Partner closely with product managers to identify, scope and deliver impactful digital products.
* Drive decision-making on build vs. buy strategies.
* Oversee development of bespoke solutions when needed, with a pragmatic and value-driven approach.
* Ensure solutions are user-centric, scalable, and well-architected.
* Explore and leverage modern technologies, including AI and data tools, to solve real business problems.
* Engage with startups and tech vendors as part of open innovation and discovery initiatives.
* Line-manage and mentor a cross-functional technology team.
Legal sector knowledge is advantageous but not essential.
