• Lead, coach, and develop Product Managers and Group Product Managers, helping them progress from feature delivery toward strong problem ownership and measurable outcomes.

• Partner closely with Operations, Legal, and Finance to influence business strategy, profitability, operational efficiency, and risk management.
• Establish an AI-first approach to product development, using AI to improve discovery, prototyping, experimentation, decision-making, and learning.
• Help shape broader product and company strategy as part of the senior leadership team, particularly during periods of organizational and structural change.

• 10+ years of experience in Product Management, including approximately 5–7 years leading and developing Product Managers, with a demonstrated record of delivering measurable customer and business outcomes.
• Experience working in operationally or legally complex B2B, FinTech, HR technology, payroll, compliance, Employer of Record, or similarly regulated environments.
• Strong systems-thinking capabilities, with an ability to approach complex challenges from first principles, diagnose underlying problems, and develop effective solutions.
• Practical experience using AI to transform how product teams work, including discovery, experimentation, prototyping, analysis, or decision-making.
• Demonstrated ability to establish product vision and strategy at business-unit level and build meaningful stakeholder alignment when priorities or circumstances change.
• Proven people leadership skills, including coaching product professionals into stronger leaders, maintaining high standards, providing clear feedback, and addressing difficult issues proactively.
• Experience leading through organizational or structural change, with the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous and evolving environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and translate strategic alignment into effective execution.
• Strong commercial and strategic judgment, with the ability to understand the relationship between customer value, operational performance, risk, and business results.
• Fluent English communication skills.
• A reliable home internet connection or the ability to obtain one.
• Ability to work effectively in a fully remote and asynchronous environment.

• Fully remote work, with the flexibility to work from home and, where legally permitted and operationally supported, from your preferred location.
• Approximately 40 days of paid time off per year, including holidays and vacation, or more where required by local regulations.
• Access to mental health and wellbeing support through a dedicated employee wellbeing service.
• Monthly wellbeing allowance that can be used across a broad range of eligible wellbeing-related options.
• Flexible parental leave, including at least three months of paid leave for new parents, with job protection for up to 12 months or as required locally.
