Shape the Future of Digital Product Experience

We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Product to lead the evolution of a major UK digital platform within a nationally recognised media organisation.

This is a high-impact leadership role with real strategic influence - combining product vision, innovation, commercial thinking, and delivery leadership at scale.

You’ll work closely with senior and C-level stakeholders to define long-term product direction, drive customer engagement, and help shape the organisation’s wider digital transformation journey. We’re looking for someone who brings both deep product expertise and a strong external perspective, using market insight, emerging technology, and customer behaviour to influence decision-making and create competitive advantage.

What You’ll Be Driving

Strategic Product Leadership

• Define and evolve the long-term product vision, strategy, and roadmap across key digital platforms
• Align product direction with customer needs, commercial objectives, brand ambitions, and organisational priorities
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, influencing strategic decisions through insight, data, and market perspective

Innovation & Market Insight

• Bring an external lens to product strategy through competitor analysis, industry trends, and emerging technologies
• Identify new opportunities for growth, engagement, and differentiation
• Champion modern product thinking and customer-centric ways of working across the organisation

Delivery & Product Excellence

• Own an outcome-focused roadmap with clear measurable impact
• Establish robust prioritisation frameworks grounded in experimentation, analytics, and user insight
• Partner with third-party vendors and technology partners to influence roadmaps and deliver strategic objectives
• Embed best-in-class product practices, helping elevate product capability across teams

What We’re Looking For

You’re a strategic and commercially minded product leader who combines vision with execution and can confidently operate at executive level.

You’ll likely bring:

• Significant experience leading product strategy and delivery within digital, media, technology, or consumer-facing environments
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to balance customer value and business performance
• A highly data-driven approach with deep understanding of product metrics, experimentation, and optimisation
• Outstanding stakeholder management and communication skills, including experience influencing senior leadership and C-suite audiences
• Experience working with and managing third-party technology or platform partners
• A forward-thinking mindset with a passion for innovation and evolving digital customer experiences
