Role
We are hiring a Head of Product Development to lead a team of six with headcount growing soon. You will shape the vision, run the pipeline, own the output, and sit at the centre of Lucky Egg’s engine room. Product is where culture, creativity, manufacturing, and commercial reality all meet. You will be the person holding that together.
