We're working with one of the UK's largest insurance and protection providers on a Head of Product hire.
This is a newly created 12-month fixed-term contract, sitting right at the heart of a major modernisation programme. The business is moving off legacy systems and toward a genuinely product-led way of working, while making sure commercial performance doesn't slip in the meantime.
The role:
- Own product strategy and delivery across both a variety of sales channels.
- Lead and coach a small team of Product Managers (circa three, each running their own squad), raising the bar on product thinking across the group.
- Build out a new capability around a large, currently under-utilised area of the business, genuine greenfield territory within the role.
- Act as right hand to a newly appointed senior product leader, holding the line on commercial delivery while they focus on the wider platform migration.
- Represent the space at senior governance level, comfortable communicating from engineering level through to C-suite.
