Head of Product required for an already established software company based out of Glasgow. They are hiring for a number of senior leadership roles currently, with this part of that transition. The company: Operating for nearly 30 years, they develop software solutions for a well-known industry, and have been re-imagined over the last 2 years. With around 15 technical staff, they have recently been through some positive change, modernising both the technical environment and ways of working. You will be joining at a time where they have just started the release of a new product, which is a SaaS offering that utilises AI, on top of an existing product which is very successful (and effectively runs itself). As a company, they offer a lot of autonomy coupled with great career progression and promotion potential (evidenced by current staff). They adopt an Agile Scrum methodology, something that has really been a focus for the past 18 months and although not true Agile, they are very happy with where they are in their Agile journey. Lastly, unlike a lot of companies who are struggling in the current economic climate, this organisation are in a very stable position with a number of UK and Global clients, as well as a very strong sales pipeline. They are great believers in employing great staff, and have a number of key principles they live by; communication, collectiveness and transparency. They want to ensure they hire the right personalities and individuals who really want to continue the success of the organisation. This will be a key role in helping to do so. Although the company are based out of central Glasgow, this role is very much hybrid and only required to be in office a few times a week/month. The main reasons to travel in would be for town halls, team meetings or potentially meeting with clients - basically the important stuff. Therefore, they can consider anyone really from across the Central Belt and potentially further afield. The role: Being the Head of Product for the company, you will have overall responsibility for the wider product roadmap, across a couple of products. You are being brought in to ensure that the products are designed and delivered to the best standards, creating great products and happy customers. You will work alongside cross-functional delivery teams, as well as customer success and the wider business, to ensure a seamless delivery. This role will offer real autonomy on the product roadmap, and the opportunity to really implement change, if you see fit. You will work very closely alongside both the Head of Software and Software Technical Lead, in order to define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for the company. They are real believers in continuous improvement, so showing a track record in this would be really beneficial. Additionally, experience having delivered on SaaS products, would be a real bonus. Key Skills and background: * Experience owning a product roadmap across multiple products (ideally SaaS) * Ideally having worked in smaller, Agile software organisations * The ability to define and execute the product vision and strategy, aligning with both short-term and long-term business goals * Able to prioritise features and initiatives based on customer insights, market trends, technical feasibility and business objectives * Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with senior customer stakeholders * Ability to define and execute the product strategy and roadmap in collaboration with the product and development teams, ensuring alignment with market demands and emerging trends This is an opportunity to join a business during a new period in their growth and development, with ample autonomy to make decisions.
