Job Description

Director of Product Strategy

Remote (UK & Ireland) Executive Leadership Opportunity

Shape the Future of a UKI Software Portfolio

Our client is a market-leading software provider entering a significant phase of growth, platform modernisation and AI-driven innovation.

We are looking for a Director of Product Strategy & Management to define the future direction of a substantial software portfolio, leading product strategy, commercial outcomes and portfolio transformation.

This is not a traditional Product Management role.

You will help determine where the business invests, how products evolve, how AI is embedded into customer value propositions and how multiple product lines converge into a scalable global platform. The role offers significant executive visibility and the opportunity to shape long-term business growth. The underlying role owns product strategy, portfolio direction, commercial outcomes, platform convergence and AI-led innovation.

Why Join?

  • Executive-level influence and visibility
  • Ownership of a significant software portfolio
  • AI-driven product transformation programme
  • Opportunity to build locally and think globally
  • Highly collaborative role across Product, Engineering, Commercial and Customer teams
  • Clear progression potential into broader international leadership responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and execute product vision, strategy and portfolio priorities
  • Drive measurable growth, adoption, retention and expansion
  • Lead product lifecycle management across multiple solutions
  • Build the roadmap for portfolio modernisation and platform convergence
  • Partner with Engineering leadership to align product and technology strategy
  • Shape go-to-market plans with Sales, Marketing and Services teams
  • Drive AI-enabled innovation and product differentiation
  • Influence investment decisions and portfolio governance
  • Develop and lead a high-performing Product Management function

What We're Looking For

  • Director-level Product Management leadership within a software vendor
  • Experience owning complex software portfolios and commercial outcomes
  • Strong strategic and commercial mindset
  • Proven success delivering product transformation and growth across UKI and Europe
  • Experience operating within enterprise SaaS or regulated software environments, ideally healthcare
  • Strong executive stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Passion for AI and emerging technologies
  • Experience leading and developing Product Managers

Backgrounds of Interest

We would particularly like to hear from leaders within:

  • Healthcare Technology
  • Clinical Applications

This is an outstanding opportunity for a strategic product leader looking to influence business direction, drive innovation and shape the next generation of a market-leading software portfolio.
