At Sage Network, we're building the digital backbone for modern business transactions. Our platform connects buyers, suppliers, and financial institutions to automate invoicing, payments, remittance data, and compliance—removing friction, increasing transparency, and enabling faster, smarter decisions across the financial value chain.
We're looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the strategy and evolution of our B2B Transaction Services platform. This is a pivotal role where you'll define the roadmap, lead a talented team, and deliver the core services that power trusted, scalable, and intelligent B2B interactions.
This is a hybrid role – three days per week in our Newcastle or Manchester office.
What You'll Own:
* Platform Vision & Strategy - Define and drive the strategic roadmap for B2B Transaction Services, with a focus on automation, interoperability, compliance, and extensibility.
* Product Leadership - Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of product managers focused on core platform capabilities: e-invoicing, remittance data exchange, network identity, ledger sync, and B2B messaging.
* Cross-Functional Execution - Collaborate deeply with Engineering, Design, Data, Legal, Compliance, and Go-To-Market teams to deliver scalable, secure, and customer-centric solutions.
* Customer & Market Insight - Engage with customers, partners, and industry bodies to understand pain points, validate solutions, and align the roadmap with evolving business needs and regulatory mandates (e.g. Peppol, VAT compliance).
* Delivery & Scale - Own the product lifecycle from discovery through delivery, ensuring scalable architecture, timely execution, and measurable impact.
* Ecosystem Enablement - Ensure the platform integrates seamlessly with Sage products (e.g. Sage 50, Sage Intacct, Sage 100) and third-party ecosystems including payment processors and government platforms.
* Performance & Impact - Define and track KPIs for platform adoption, transaction growth, automation rates, and ecosystem engagement.
