Director of Product Management

You love transforming complex operational activities into intuitive and progressive tech solutions. In this role, you’ll shape the future of Ethics & Compliance by owning product management end-to-end. You will get to translate the vision and strategy into execution, deliver a market-leading AI‑powered roadmap, partner closely with an awesome, globally dispersed team that includes product marketing, engineering, UX/design, to turn real customer insights into scalable, high‑impact solutions. If you thrive on transformational change, influencing cross‑functional teams while leading your own, and building commercially attractive products that truly move the needle for customers, this is where your expertise in product leadership and agile development will give you something to sink your teeth into.  

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff): 

Deliver product strategy to transform six related products into one interoperable AI-powered Ethics offering over the next 12 months 

Translate customer needs and market insights into clear product direction and priorities  

Set and manage the roadmap, using market intelligence to quantify, scope and sequence the offering, iterating based on market feedback 

Partner closely with engineering and UX/product design to ship high-quality products on time  

Lead and develop a team of experienced product managers 

Drive product discovery, define requirements, and manage backlogs across multiple teams  

Track performance (usage, adoption, outcomes) and continuously improve the product portfolio 

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 

You have built, shipped, and iterated B2B Enterprise SaaS products as well as AI assistants and Agents  

You are commercially minded and evaluate product success in terms of revenue as well as its utility 

You have owned a product portfolio 

Worked in a combination of Start-up, Scale-up and 'Corporate’ companies 

Experience working closely with engineering and product design in agile development environments  

Clear communicator with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels  

Thrive in a fast-paced, outcome focused environment 

It would be great if you had these / done this too, but we’ll support you if you don’t: 

Domain knowledge in either risk, compliance, due diligence, or adjacent regulated industries  

Familiarity with global regulatory environments or third-party risk ecosystems  

Experience with platform integrations, APIs, or ecosystem-based products   

Experience building and taking net new products to market, or evolving an immature product 

Experience integrating individual products together, knowing how to balance existing customer needs with new customer acquisition
