The Company

Go-To-Market & Commercialisation
* Build and lead GTM strategy for new data products
* Turn platform capabilities into revenue-generating solutions
* Work closely with Commercial and Customer Success teams to ensure adoption and client impact
Stakeholder Leadership
* Act as the SME for data innovation, including synthetic data and data collaboration
* Influence across Product, R&D, Analytics, Commercial, Legal, and Marketing
* Operate externally with credibility alongside senior client stakeholders

* Product build experience, ideally in media measurement or research technology
* Strong experience delivering AI / ML-enabled products
* Exceptional stakeholder management across technical and commercial teams
* B2B / SaaS product development background
* Senior-level communication and storytelling skills
* You don’t need to be hands-on technically; but you must be technically credible at depth
The Benefits
* £125,000-£150,000 + Bonus

* True strategic authority without people management overhead
* Work on products used by global media giants and Fortune 500 brands
