Global Head of Product Management – Enterprise Solutions
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Global Head of Product Management – Enterprise Solutions.
You will shape the enterprise backbone of Genus, leading the product strategy for our ERP, CRM, and HR platforms. Partnering with business leaders in Finance, Supply Chain, Commercial, and HR, you’ll improve operations across 70+ countries.
Your focus will be on performance and experience: reducing user friction, boosting process efficiency, strengthening governance, and accelerating value delivery. You’ll ensure our enterprise data remains consistent, reliable, and AI-ready, providing a foundation for analytics and automation.
The role will also see you aligning closely with the IT leadership team, with regular interactions with the Group CFO, divisional leadership, and functional heads.
Why This Role?
- Board-level impact – Your priorities align directly with Genus’s strategic ambition in finance, HR, and core divisional growth.
- Global scale with tangible influence – While operating across 70+ countries, a strong leader here can drive meaningful, visible change.
- Purpose with substance – Your work will support a business critical to food security and sustainability, ensuring it runs more effectively daily.
What You’ll Lead
Core Responsibilities
You’ll be accountable for shaping the product strategy of our enterprise ecosystem and driving outcomes through platform-led transformation. Specifically, you’ll:
- Define the vision and roadmap for our enterprise solutions (ERP, CRM, HR, and related platforms), ensuring every major investment delivers measurable results.
- Collaborate with Finance, Supply Chain, Commercial, Procurement, and HR leaders, standardising processes globally where necessary but also adapting for local needs.
- Lead cross-functional product teams (SMEs, product managers, analysts, developers, testers, and change specialists) to deliver end-to-end improvements – from initial concept through deployment and adoption.
- Elevate the digital employee experience: reducing system fragmentation, simplifying workflows, improving guidance, and eliminating redundant data entry.
- Transform transactions into AI-ready insights: standardise processes and data models, improve data quality, and align enterprise platforms with Genus’s unified data and analytics strategy.
- Support Genus’s key transformation initiatives, leveraging reliable processes and cutting-edge technology for sustained progress.
- Reduce application complexity: phase out Legacy systems, customisations, and inefficient integrations to enhance scalability and supportability.
- Define and track key performance metrics (process efficiency, errors, working capital, cost-to-serve, user adoption, and system stability) to ensure continuous improvement.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Directly contribute to portfolio governance, working alongside Portfolio Management, Architecture, Cyber Security, and IT Services.
Requirements
This is a senior leadership position requiring proven expertise in scaling enterprise systems. We’re looking for candidates who:
-
Have deep experience with ERP, CRM, and HR platforms (e.g., Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Workday) within multi-country corporations.
-
Can demonstrate a track record of large-scale change, particularly in Finance, Supply Chain, Commercial, and/or HR, with tangible improvements in both process performance and user experience.
-
Think strategically about process alignment, data integrity, risk management, and technology start/stop decisions, using metrics to prioritise effectively.
-
Bring a structured and calm yet decisive approach – transforming uncertainty into clear roadmaps and helping teams focus under pressure.
-
Are confident communicating at senior levels, able to explain complex tech/process decisions to executives and balance stakeholder expectations diplomatically.
-
Experience in manufacturing, life sciences, or agri/food sectors is advantageous but not essential. What matters is your ability to drive transformational change for large-scale organisations.
