We're partnering with a well-established professional membership and education organisation that is undergoing an exciting period of transformation. With an ambitious strategy to expand its portfolio of digital learning, membership, and partner products, the organisation is investing in a dedicated Product function to shape how product decisions are made across the business.
This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a Product Management capability from the ground up, creating the frameworks, governance, and ways of working that will underpin future growth. As Product Director, you'll be responsible for establishing Product Management as a distinct discipline, bringing greater clarity to prioritisation, ownership, and decision-making.
Working at the intersection of customer insight, commercial strategy, and delivery, you'll help shift the organisation from project-led delivery to outcome-focused product thinking. You'll work closely with Executive leadership, Commercial, Operations, Technology, and Learning teams to ensure investment is focused on the products and initiatives that deliver the greatest value for customers and the organisation.

Why Apply?
This is far more than a traditional Product Director role. You'll have the opportunity to shape how an organisation thinks about Product, influence strategic investment decisions, and leave a lasting legacy by building a Product function that supports long-term growth.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine strategic leadership, organisational transformation, and customer-focused Product Management, we'd love to hear from you.
