Job description

Remote (UK) | Up to £85,000 + Great Benefits

Build the team. Shape the delivery function. Help scale a growing technology business across Europe.

Some leadership roles are about maintaining what's already there.

This one is about building what comes next.

HireQ Talent is working with an ambitious technology company entering a significant period of growth. Their software products are already delivering real value, their customer base is expanding, and international growth is accelerating. As the business continues to scale, they're now looking for a Head of Product Delivery to build the structure, leadership and operational excellence needed to support the next phase of that journey.

This is a rare opportunity for a people-focused product leader who thrives on developing teams, improving delivery practices and bringing clarity to complex technology environments.

You'll lead a growing team of Product Owners, work closely with Engineering leadership, and create the frameworks that allow multiple teams to deliver high-quality products at scale.

This Role Is About...

• Building and leading a high-performing Product Owner function
• Coaching, mentoring and developing future product leaders
• Creating alignment across multiple products, teams and workstreams
• Driving delivery excellence across a complex technology landscape
• Improving processes, quality standards and ways of working
• Partnering closely with software engineering teams
• Implementing smarter, more efficient and AI-enabled delivery practices
• Helping create a scalable operating model capable of supporting continued UK and European growth

What You'll Be Doing

Lead & Develop People

You'll take ownership of a growing team of Product Owners, helping them perform at their best through coaching, mentoring and clear leadership. You'll also play a key role in hiring and onboarding new team members as the function expands.

Drive Delivery Excellence

Working across multiple product areas and development teams, you'll ensure priorities are aligned, dependencies are managed, and delivery remains focused on the outcomes that matter most.

Build for Scale

You'll help create and evolve product delivery frameworks, quality standards and operating processes that can support a rapidly growing technology business without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

Partner with Engineering

Success in this role comes from strong collaboration. You'll work hand‑in‑hand with Engineering leadership to improve team performance, remove blockers and continually enhance how products are delivered.

You're Likely to Be a Great Fit If...

• You've successfully led Product Owners, Product Managers or similar product professionals.
• You have exceptional knowledge of Product Ownership and the full Software Development Lifecycle.
• You've managed delivery across multiple teams, products or domains within a technology-led organisation.
• You know how to balance structure and governance without slowing teams down.
• You're comfortable navigating competing stakeholder priorities and creating alignment.
• You have strong coaching, performance management and people leadership experience.
• You've recruited, developed and scaled teams before.
• You're excited by the potential of AI and modern tooling to improve delivery performance and team effectiveness.

Bonus Points If...

• You've worked within SaaS, software platforms, logistics, supply chain, field service or similarly complex operational environments.
• You have strong experience working within Agile environments and using tools such as Jira.
• You've already introduced or actively use AI tooling within product development, software delivery or product operations.
• You have experience leading distributed or fully remote teams.

Why This Opportunity?

This isn't about owning a product strategy deck.

It isn't about spending your days in steering committees.

And it isn't a traditional programme management role with a product title attached.

This is a genuine leadership opportunity to build capability, develop people and help shape the way an ambitious technology company delivers products as it scales.

If you're someone who enjoys creating clarity from complexity, building high-performing teams and delivering meaningful change, this could be the role you've been waiting for.

Package

• Remote (UK) – Monthly trips to Coventry
• Significant opportunity to influence the future direction of a growing technology business
• Direct impact on the scaling of products and services across multiple markets
• Collaborative, technology-driven culture with strong leadership support
