Director, Product Management

What you will be doing

• Own a product area end to end: define the strategy for your area, translate company and product strategy into a multi-quarter roadmap, and make the prioritisation and resourcing trade-offs across multiple workstreams - with accountability for the commercial outcome of the whole portfolio.

• Stay hands-on: retain direct ownership of a specific product area - write specs, run discovery, and make product calls yourself, not just through your team.

• Set and enforce the quality bar: define what “good” looks like for the product area, review your team's product decisions and outputs, and hold the line with senior stakeholders when a capability isn't ready to ship - even when it's commercially uncomfortable.

• Understand the market and the users: maintain a view of user needs across data engineering, analytics and platform personas, and own the competitive and market view of the data and AI ecosystem.

• Build and lead the team: hire, coach and manage the performance of a team of Product Managers, run the team's operating rhythm, and set the standard for AI-enabled ways of working across the group.

• Drive cross-functional and executive alignment: partner with Engineering and Design leadership on technical strategy and delivery capacity, keep GTM, Customer Success and Marketing ahead of what's shipping, and present roadmap and trade-offs to stakeholders, leadership and customers.

What we are looking for

• Typically 10+ years in product management, including 3+ years managing Product Managers directly.

• A track record of shipping and scaling B2B products end to end, with demonstrable commercial impact.

• People leadership experience: you've hired, coached and managed the performance of Product Managers directly.

• Real, hands-on exposure to the data ecosystem - enough to make credible technical trade-off calls.

• A systems thinker operating at scale, balancing craft, speed and commercial impact across multiple workstreams at once.

• Deep data literacy, and the ability to hold your team accountable to evidence-based decision-making.

• A demonstrable track record of using AI tools to accelerate product work, and the ability to model, teach and hold your team to that same standard.

• Excellent communication, including credibility in front of executive leadership and senior customers.

• Comfortable holding a line under commercial pressure - on product quality and on team standards - and operating at both strategic and hands-on altitude in the same week.
