StoryTerrace is looking for a hands-on Fractional Head of Product with experience scaling B2C platforms.
The role
You'll set product direction across two live products - one established, one new to market - and direct the developer(s) who build(s) them. This is a judgment role where you'll be the person making the call on strategy, roadmap trade-offs and shaping what growing editorial products become. You’ll also advise on hiring needs.

We're the leader in the ghostwritten life story market, having created more than 4,000 books with a network of 500 writers.

We've recently launched a self-serve app, opening up a new way for people to tell their story.
