We are currently working in partnership with a fast paced, dynamic SaaS provider, specialising in marketing analytics, call tracking, AI and data-driven insights. As part of their expansion, they are looking for a Head of Product Development to join the Senior Leadership Team and take ownership of their product vision, strategy and roadmap.
This is a strategic, yet hands-on role, with a high level of responsibility. You will work closely with the CEO, Development Manager, Head of Departments and wider business to turn customer and commercial needs into a clear, deliverable product roadmap.
Responsibilities

- Work closely with Engineering to manage product delivery and releases.
- Coordinate across Sales, Marketing, Client Services, Engineering and Leadership.
- Manage delivery risks and remove barriers to execution.
- Establish effective product management and discovery practices across the business.
Requirements
- Proven experience defining and delivering successful SaaS products.
- Standalone Product Management experience, ideally with Marketing/Analytics SaaS
- Strong product road-mapping experience with good Agile skills and a solid understanding of the software development lifecycle.
- Experience of managing the product backlog and working closely with engineering teams in a small to medium sized software provider.
- Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and design.
- Strong strategic thinking with the ability to convert vision into execution.
- Strong leadership presence with experience of working within a senior leadership team.
The ideal candidate will need to be comfortable being visible and working in a standalone product role with accountability to the scorecard and business objectives, whilst contributing at a strategic level. They will need to have worked on a revenue generating software product for a small to medium sized SaaS provider. The role could be an exciting career development move for a Senior Product Manager or Product owner looking to obtain a greater level of autonomy and leadership.
