Head of Product – Full-time, Permanent
Location: Poole, Dorset (hybrid working) Salary: Up to £80,000 per annum DOE + Benefits
The Opportunity
As a Head of Product, do you thrive when given strategic freedom, trusted to make decisions, and empowered to shape transformative products?
Struggling in roles where Product leaders spend too much time managing competing priorities rather than asking ‘what comes next?’? This opportunity rejects that trap.
Here, you’ll join an established software business with a loyal customer base, sophisticated enterprise products, and bold growth ambitions. The infrastructure is solid—yet the future hasn’t been built yet. This is your moment to influence product trajectory, unlock untapped commercial opportunities, and steer the business forward.

- Health Benefits: Cash Plan covering:
- 24/7 GP access
- Dental & optical cover
- Death in Service (4x salary protected)
- Employee Support:
- Assistance Programme
- Paid volunteering days
- Discretionary bonus
- Culture & Growth:
- Modern office + collaborative culture
- Team events, knowledge-sharing and generous learning opportunities
- High autonomy and clear ownership over strategic direction
- Technical Relevance: Opportunity to shape technical strategy amid sustainable tech growth
