About the role

Product Lead

• Own the product end-to-end
• High ownership, hands-on role
• Shape the next phase of an established SaaS product

An established homegrown SaaS product is entering a new phase of growth and evolution. This is an opportunity to take ownership of product direction and delivery as the product continues to develop.

The company

This organisation has built an internationally renowned, household name B2B SaaS product that supports customers in their day-to-day work and business processes globally in tech, utilities and manufacturing.
The product is embedded in how customers operate and is used regularly as part of their processes and the business is now entering a new chapter.
With renewed focus and clear direction, the priority is to evolve the product - improving usability, strengthening core capabilities, and introducing new functionality, including AI-driven capability.
This creates an opportunity for a product leader to help shape what comes next.

Why now?

The product has an established customer base and a strong foundation.
What comes next is about evolution and movement into adjacencies and a new catalogue.
The focus is on improving how the product works, strengthening delivery, and introducing new capabilities, including the application of AI in practical, real-world use cases.
To support this, the business is hiring a Product Lead.

Product Leadership

This role carries ownership of product outcomes.
You will define how product decisions are made, how customer insight informs the roadmap, and how priorities translate into delivery.
Working closely with leadership and engineering, you will ensure product direction and delivery remain aligned.  Use the latest product tooling and dat to do this.
This role suits someone who enjoys operating close to the product while maintaining a clear view of outcomes.

The role breaks down into three core components

Product Strategy 
Define and drive the product roadmap.

Product Discovery
Stay close to customers and real-world usage.

Delivery Leadership
Own how product gets delivered.

The fit

Do you want to lead and:

  • own a product end-to-end
  • work closely with engineering in a delivery-focused environment
  • use your experience with SaaS or platform-based products
  • apply AI to real product problems
  • operate in smaller or lean teams
You are comfortable with ownership and working across both strategy and execution.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to play a central role in the next phase of an established SaaS product.
For the right person, this offers real ownership, direct impact, and the ability to influence how the product evolves.
