About the role
We are looking for an experienced Head of Product to lead our Group Growth tribe at JD Group, with accountability across our multi-brand businesses and JD Sports APAC. Your portfolio spans three distinct brand domains: our streetwear group, our outdoors group, and JD Sports APAC all on Shopify-led technology stacks. This is a broad, high-impact role that demands both commercial sharpness and a genuine passion for customer experience. You will join at a pivotal moment as JD Group accelerates its international, multi-brand and digital ambitions, with significant scope to shape your domain and make your mark.
Your key responsibilities
- Set the product vision and strategy across your full portfolio, ensuring each area has a clear roadmap tied to commercial and customer outcomes.
- Lead multiple product squads through their respective Product Managers, driving accountability, pace and quality of delivery across a diverse portfolio.
- Own the omnichannel experience strategy, ensuring customers enjoy a seamless and compelling journey across digital and physical touchpoints.
- Champion the distinct identity and growth of each of the groups, ensuring product decisions reflect and strengthen their position in the market, while leveraging group-level platforms and capabilities.
- Act as the key product decision-maker for your tribe, balancing brand specificity with group-wide standards, cohesion and efficiency.
- Build and strengthen the capabilities of your Product Managers, creating a high-performing team culture that spans brands, geographies and product contexts.
- Collaborate closely with the wider leadership team to ensure alignment across the full customer experience.

What we are looking for
- Proven experience leading product across multiple brands or business units, ideally within retail, fashion, sport or a comparable consumer environment.
- Demonstrable experience delivering omnichannel or cross-platform product strategy on Shopify-led stacks.
- A track record of driving growth through digital products, whether through conversion, retention, internationalisation or audience development.
- Experience working across international or APAC markets, with an understanding of localisation and regional product strategy.
- Deep empathy for distinct brand audiences. You understand what makes a streetwear customer different from an outdoor enthusiast, and you build products that reflect that.
- Commercially minded, with the ability to connect product investment to revenue, brand health and market expansion.
- A strong leader and coach, with a track record of developing Product Managers across complex, multi-workstream environments.
- Collaborative and comfortable navigating ambiguity, with the drive to forge your own path in a fast-moving, ambitious organisation.
KPIs & success metrics
- Product & commercial outcomes: conversion, retention, average order value, omnichannel engagement, and the revenue and growth contribution of your portfolio.
- Delivery & execution: roadmap delivery predictability and pace, experimentation velocity and win rate, and the quality of what you ship.
- Leadership competencies: strategic thinking, stakeholder influence, talent development, and fostering innovation.
- Team development: growth and progression of Product Managers, and engagement and retention across the tribe.
- JD Group values & culture: commitment to diversity, inclusion and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
