The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a

large-scale, enterprise SaaS product ecosystem

at a pivotal stage of evolution.

You will define and lead the

end-to-end product strategy

across a complex, multi-platform environment, shaping how technology, data, and intelligent systems combine to drive commercial outcomes at scale. The organisation is investing heavily in

platform maturity, data capability, and AI-driven product innovation

, and this role sits at the centre of that transformation.

This is not a narrow product role. It is a

strategic, high-impact leadership position

with responsibility for:

• Core SaaS product platforms
• Data-led capabilities and decisioning systems
• AI/ML integration into live products
• Commercial performance and long-term product direction

You will operate at senior leadership level, influencing both

technology and business strategy

, with a clear mandate to build products that deliver measurable value.

What You Will Own

Product Strategy \& Vision

• Define and execute a

multi-year product strategy

across a portfolio of enterprise SaaS platforms

• Translate complex business challenges into

scalable, product-led solutions

• Own roadmap prioritisation aligned to commercial outcomes, customer value, and platform scalability

Data \& Intelligent Product Capability

• Drive the evolution of

data as a product

, not just a function

• Embed

data-driven decisioning, analytics, and AI capabilities

directly into customer-facing and operational products

• Oversee the development of

decision engines, predictive models, and intelligent workflows

that enhance product value

Platform \& Product Leadership

• Lead cross-functional teams spanning

Product, Data, Engineering, and AI/ML disciplines

• Introduce and embed

product management best practices

, including OKRs, product metrics, and experimentation frameworks

• Build a culture focused on

outcomes, not output

Commercial Ownership

• Identify and unlock

new revenue opportunities

through product innovation and data capability

• Contribute to

pricing strategy, product positioning, and commercial performance

• Partner with senior stakeholders to ensure

clear ROI on product investment

Stakeholder Influence

• Operate as a senior leader across the organisation, influencing at

C-level and board level

• Align technology delivery with broader

business strategy and growth objectives

• Act as a key voice in shaping the organisation’s

future platform direction

Data, AI \& Platform Ambition

The organisation is actively transitioning toward a

data-led, AI-enabled product model

.

Key areas of focus include:

• Building

intelligent decisioning systems

that automate complex processes

• Leveraging

predictive analytics and machine learning

to drive commercial optimisation

• Embedding

AI capabilities into core SaaS products

to enhance user experience and operational efficiency

• Moving from fragmented data usage to

cohesive, productised data platforms

This role will define how those capabilities are

designed, built, and scaled

across the business.

What We’re Looking For

This is a role for a

true Product Director

, not a delivery lead or functional manager.

You will bring:

Essential Experience

• Proven track record leading

enterprise SaaS products at scale

• Experience owning

end-to-end product strategy

, from vision through to delivery and commercial impact

• Strong exposure to

data-driven products, analytics platforms, or AI-enabled systems

• Ability to operate across

Product, Engineering, and Data functions with credibility

• Demonstrated success influencing

senior stakeholders and executive leadership teams

• Experience building and scaling

high-performing product organisations

Technical \& Commercial Strength

• Strong understanding of

modern SaaS architecture and platform thinking

• Experience working closely with

data science and AI/ML teams

• Commercial mindset with exposure to

product performance, pricing, or monetisation strategies

Leadership Profile

• Strategic thinker with the ability to

translate vision into execution

• Comfortable operating in

complex, matrixed organisations

• Clear communicator with presence and authority at senior level
• Focused on

outcomes, impact, and long-term value creation

Why This Role Matters

This is a

business-critical leadership position

with genuine scope to shape the future of a major enterprise platform environment.

You will have:

• Ownership of a

high-value SaaS product portfolio

• Influence across

technology, product, and commercial strategy

• The mandate to build

data-led, intelligent products at scale

• Access to investment, leadership support, and a platform ready for evolution

This is the kind of role where the right individual doesn’t just deliver a roadmap — they

reshape how the organisation builds and thinks about products

.
