Product Director

Overview

The Product Director serves as the strategic leader for a mission-critical product ecosystem, shaping the vision, strategy, and roadmap to drive meaningful business outcomes. This is not a backlog or delivery management role. It's a highly strategic position for someone who brings clarity to ambiguity, influences senior stakeholders, and deeply represents the voice of the customer.

The Product Director integrates and motivates cross-functional teams, builds strong relationships across the organization, and leads the end-to-end product lifecycle with a customer-centric mindset.

Responsibilities

• Define and continuously evolve the product vision and strategy, aligning with broader organizational priorities.
• Convert ambiguous problem spaces into structured, outcome-driven product plans that guide teams and stakeholders.
• Influence executives using clear, data-driven narratives that drive alignment on product direction.
• Lead customer discovery, experimentation, and rapid iteration to validate needs and assumptions.
• Own and manage the product roadmap, ensuring strategic prioritization across customer, business, and technical dimensions.
• Foster deep partnerships across engineering, design, operations, data, and business teams to ensure successful execution.
• Establish and track key success metrics, adjusting strategy based on learnings and feedback loops.
• Act as a player-coach, mentoring team members, elevating product thinking, and building a high-performing product culture.
• Champion innovation through customer insights, lean testing, and iterative development practices.
• Support organizational leaders in advancing engineering culture and implementing adaptive ways of working.
• Demonstrate financial acumen and, where required, manage product-related P&L responsibilities.
