Reporting To: Sarah Craig
Description
A commercially focused, hands-on Head of Product to take functional leadership of the product discipline. This role will be instrumental in shaping and executing the product strategy, aligning business priorities with scalable, customer-centric solutions. This role does not carry direct line management.

Key Responsibilities

* Provide functional leadership to the product discipline, setting standards, frameworks, and focus without direct line management.
* Drive alignment across the organisation — translating commercial priorities into product outcomes, and bridging technical and business functions.
* Maintain close relationships with customers and users to ensure products solve real-world problems and support long-term adoption.
* Guide prioritisation and sequencing of initiatives across the business, balancing innovation with scalability, platform performance and delivery velocity.
* Serve as the product voice on the leadership team — ensuring product is positioned as a driver of business growth and market differentiation.
* Foster a culture of ownership, data-led decision making, and continuous improvement across the product function.
Candidate Profile
* Experienced product leader with a track record of shaping and executing product strategy in high-growth B2B environments, managing both software and hardware products — ideally PE backed organisations.
* Demonstrated success influencing product direction and team execution without direct reporting lines.
* Commercially minded and outcome-driven — understands how to align product with revenue, customer success, and operational efficiency.
* Adept at partnering with Executives, Engineering, and Sales to turn vision into actionable, scalable product delivery.
* Strong communicator, able to bring clarity, challenge and direction across functions and seniority levels.
* Comfortable working at pace, balancing short-term wins with long-term product evolution.
* Confident engaging directly with customers, gathering insight and advocating for product within commercial conversations.
* Analytical thinker with strong product instincts and a high degree of customer empathy.
* Highly effective at operating within lean, high-performance environments with a ‘roll up your sleeves’ approach.
