Head of Product

Role: Head of Product

Location: Remote-working (UK)

Salary: Negotiable

We’re working with an organisation at an interesting point in its evolution — one that’s rethinking how it creates value, connects its offering, and positions itself for the future. We’re looking for a Head of Product to help shape what comes next. This is not a role where everything is already defined. There is direction, ambition, and momentum — but also space to influence, challenge, and build. If you’re someone who thrives in that kind of environment, this could be worth exploring.

The Opportunity

You’ll take on a senior role with responsibility for a portfolio of products and a broader ecosystem that extends beyond them. That might include learning, services, partnerships, community, or other interconnected elements — the exact shape is still evolving.

Working closely with senior stakeholders, you’ll help answer questions such as:

• What should we build next?
• What should we double down on — or let go of?
• How do we create a more coherent and valuable overall proposition?

There’s a commercial dimension too. This role isn’t just about product thinking — it’s about ensuring what’s built delivers meaningful impact and sustainable revenue over time.

What You Might Be Doing

• Shaping and evolving a product strategy that isn’t fully defined yet
• Owning and developing an existing portfolio while identifying new opportunities
• Bringing structure and clarity to a roadmap that balances delivery with exploration
• Working across teams and with external partners to turn ideas into reality
• Contributing to broader organisational decisions, not just product ones
• Exploring how emerging technologies (including AI) might change the landscape — and acting on it where it matters

What They’re Likely Looking For

• Someone who has led products or portfolios at a senior level, with real accountability
• Experience operating in environments where things aren’t fully formed
• A balance of strategic thinking and practical execution
• Commercial awareness — understanding how decisions translate into outcomes
• Comfort working across boundaries: product, partnerships, operations, and beyond
• The ability to bring clarity without oversimplifying complexity

The Kind of Person Who Tends to Do Well Here

• You don’t wait for perfect information before making decisions
• You’re comfortable challenging ideas — constructively
• You can zoom out to the bigger picture, but also focus on what needs to happen next
• You’re curious about how things are changing (especially with AI), but pragmatic about what’s useful now
• You prefer collaboration over ownership of territory
