Why this role exists

Every product reaches a moment where founder-led decisions can’t scale. Ideas flow, prototypes happen, subject matter experts are deeply involved, and engineers are making trade-offs by default. That moment is exactly where this business is right now.

The platform works. Customers are onboard. The team is lean, high-performing, and everything is moving fast. But to grow successfully, it needs someone to bring discipline, judgment, and structure to the roadmap without killing the creativity, experimentation, and energy that got the business here.

This is where you come in…

As Product Lead, you’ll own the roadmap and feature strategy end-to-end. You’ll turn expert insight into scalable, repeatable product decisions, balance experimentation with long-term vision, and lead a team of subject matter experts and engineers to deliver meaningful results.

Specifically, you will:

• Shape problems early, prototype fast, and validate ideas before scaling.
• Own the roadmap and decide what deserves engineering investment.
• Translate SME and customer insight into clear product bets.
• Partner closely with engineers to scale AI-driven capabilities.
• Introduce governance and technical discipline where it matters, without slowing the team down.

This is not a role for someone who waits for requirements or prefers long documentation cycles. It’s for someone who thrives in ambiguity, is confident making judgment calls, leading the product roadmap and turning expert insight into scalable, repeatable decisions

What are we looking for?

• Experience as a Product Manager or Product Lead in early-stage startups or scale-ups.
• Hands-on experience building and shipping AI and data-heavy products.
• Confidence working with subject matter experts and guiding them toward scalable solutions.
• A bias for action, experimentation, and creative problem-solving over process-heavy approaches.
• Technical fluency to prototype and validate ideas yourself, or work closely with engineers who do.

You won’t just maintain the product, you’ll shape its next chapter.

This is a chance to:

• Bring structure and discipline to a high-performing team that already delivers.
• Influence how AI and product thinking are embedded into a real-world B2B platform.
• Work at the intersection of innovation, technology, and expert domain knowledge.
• Make decisions that will scale the business for years to come.

(This role is open to candidates who already have the right to work in the UK. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship)
