Build, coach, and scale a world-class product management team, fostering a culture of empowerment, ownership and experimentation. Deliver innovative SaaS products that create measurable impact on revenue, adoption, retention, and customer satisfaction. Drive a customer-centric culture, embedding direct customer insights and evidence-based decision-making across all teams. Partner closely with design, engineering, marketing, sales, and operations to accelerate product delivery and ensure GTM success. What Success Looks Like Clear, company-wide alignment on product strategy and roadmap. Fully staffed, high-performing product team that thrives on empowerment and ownership. Measurable growth in revenue, adoption, and customer satisfaction. Innovative products launched on time, delivering business and customer impact. Strong cross-functional collaboration, including integrated product–marketing GTM success. What We’re Looking For Proven strategic leadership in SaaS product management, ideally with a global or multi-market perspective. Strong commercial acumen, with experience translating market opportunities into monetised products. Deep customer empathy and experience embedding customer insights into product decisions. Track record of building and leading high performing teams that deliver results. Exceptional cross-functional collaboration, communication, and influence skills. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment. Why You’ll Love Working Here Opportunity to shape the future of a fast-growing SaaS company. Lead a high-performing, empowered product team. Work with talented colleagues across engineering, design, and marketing. Culture of learning, innovation, and making a real difference for customers.
