• Make and guide prioritisation decisions, ensuring teams focus on the highest-impact work

• Partner with Product Directors to align priorities, manage trade-offs, and maintain a coherent experience across domains

• Establish clear ways of working, governance, and planning processes that enable teams to deliver effectively

• Monitor progress closely, stepping in where needed to keep delivery on track without becoming abottle neck

• Work with Design and Engineering to ensure solutions balance customer experience, technical constraints, and speed to value

• Optimise delivery across teams by managing dependencies, sequencing work, and driving consistency

• Drive continuous improvement in how teams operate, including the adoption of AI and tooling

What success looks like

• On-time, predictable delivery: The majority of committed work is delivered within agreed timelines and acceptable variance

• Achievement of business outcomes: Product initiatives meet defined objectives and deliver measurable value

• High-quality execution: Work delivered is accurate, well-defined, and aligned to customer and business needs

• Strong team performance: Product teams are engaged, effective, and continuously improving

• Increased efficiency: Ongoing improvements in speed, quality, and productivity across teams

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience leading multiple product teams in a complex environment

• Strong product judgement, with the ability to prioritise effectively and make clear trade-offs

• Experience translating strategy into execution and measurable outcomes

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

• Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence across teams and leadership levels

• A leadership style that balances autonomy and accountability, with a focus on coaching and development

• Commercial awareness, with a focus on delivering measurable business impact

• Solid understanding of how product, design, and engineering come together to deliver high-quality experiences
