Job description
Product vision, strategy and portfolio ownership all sit with this role, translating business priorities into a roadmap built around clear outcomes rather than output for its own sake. You lead prioritisation and investment decisions across multiple products and platforms, weighing customer value against commercial impact, capacity and risk. KPIs, success metrics and value-realisation frameworks get established here too, giving the organisation a consistent way to judge whether product work is actually landing. Building the Product function itself is part of the mandate, covering hiring, coaching, succession planning and the operating model the team runs on. Discovery, delivery, governance and lifecycle management all need to meet a high bar, and you set that standard across the portfolio. Close partnership with the CEO, Technology, Finance and Operations keeps product decisions tied to wider business outcomes. AI runs through much of the remit as well, from spotting where it can improve discovery and decision-making to establishing governance, human-in-the-loop controls and build-versus-buy calls. Business cases, ROI thinking, budgets and vendor spend round out the commercial side of the job, with this role representing Product at executive level and with strategic partners.
