The Product Director will lead the platform strategy and manage the product lifecycle, collaborating with engineering and product teams to enhance customer experience and operational excellence.
Job Description
We're looking for a Product Director in our platform team to own the platform product strategy and product management lifecycle from start to finish. Partnering with engineering leads and other product managers, you will define the platform roadmap, KPIs and product management best practices across multiple teams. By taking a platform-as-a-product approach, you will put scale, operational excellence, cost efficiency, security and reliability at the heart of the customer experience. You will collaborate across teams to interpret their requirements into platform features and manage stakeholders at all levels of seniority in the organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced leader to implement a technical product management discipline and key processes across the product team. You will define what good platform product management looks like and promote a customer-first culture across engineering teams. We're looking for someone with domain expertise in platform infrastructure, PaaS, developer experience and platform operations. The ideal candidate will have built and scaled infrastructure platforms from start to finish, with experience launching products and handling migrations.
You will be extremely hands-on and strategic in equal measure, with a proven ability to maintain a high quality of live service while delivering new features. The role requires strong prioritisation skills and the ability to drive a clear platform vision across technical and non-technical audiences. You will be a peer to engineering leads and help shape the technical direction and platform architecture to meet our business objectives. You will understand platform technology controls, security principles and how to manage competing demands on the platform.
