Job description

Nasdaq Governance Solutions is an AI-enabled ecosystem of board technologies and advisory services developed to streamline board operations and improve board and leadership effectiveness. The suite is trusted by over 4,400 organizations worldwide, including public, private, and non-profit institutions.

We are in a new phase of transformation, embedding AI and expertise deeply into governance workflows to improve decision quality, speed, and operational effectiveness at scale - all within a hyper-resilient enterprise software environment.

We are seeking a Head of Product to lead this transformation. This is a commercial product leadership role, responsible for the product vision and delivery, and for turning innovation into measurable customer value and durable revenue growth.

The successful candidate will bring strong product delivery and go‑to‑market experience launching SaaS and AI-enabled products, leadership of high‑performing teams, and the ability to build alignment between Product, Engineering, Revenue, Customer Success, and Marketing around roadmap priorities.

Key Responsibilities

Set Product Strategy and Roadmap

• Translate the long‑term vision into a commercially viable roadmap for the core board management platform and AI insight tools across Nasdaq Governance Solutions
• Define and track product success metrics tied to revenue growth, retention, and adoption - beyond delivery.
• Deliver high‑performing software for an enterprise use‑case where resilience is a must

Lead AI‑Driven Product Innovation and Monetization

• Lead the integration of AI into governance workflows and intelligence offerings, with a strong focus on usability, trust, and security.
• Guide decisions around build vs. buy, model selection, data strategy, and platform scalability.

Be the Voice of the Customer

• Develop deep understanding of multiple buyer personas (board members, corporate secretaries, C‑suite executive leaders).
• Use customer insight, data analysis, and market research to guide prioritization.
• Balance enterprise requirements (security, compliance, scale) with usability and workflow efficiency.
• Act as a senior product spokesperson with customers, prospects, and partners.

Lead High‑Performing Product Teams

• Build, develop, and inspire a strong product management and design organization, setting clear standards for customer‑centric product thinking.
• Model executive‑level leadership, clarity, and accountability.

Cross‑functional Leadership

• Bridge the gap between engineering, advisory and the revenue, CS and marketing teams around product prioritization.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years' experience in product leadership roles within B2B SaaS
• Consistent record of launching and scaling SaaS products, driving adoption, expansion, and revenue outcomes, and monetizing new capabilities
• Solid understanding of AI technologies and experience working with or leading products that incorporate AI / ML, GenAI, automation, and data/insights.
• Commercial go‑to‑market experience translating product strategy into revenue growth, retention improvement, and expansion.
• Ability to engage credibly with engineering leaders and partners while communicating value clearly to non‑technical partners.
• Strong communication skills, with ability to build alignment and influence across functions.
• Experience with product analytics and design tools such as Pendo and Builder.io
• Ability to travel internationally to visit teams, clients, and partners

Nice to Have

• Experience in governance, compliance, legal‑tech software
• MBA or advanced degree (preferred but not required)
• Experience with enterprise collaboration or workflow platforms
• Location

This position can be located in Boston (US), London (UK) or Atlanta (US) and offers the opportunity for a hybrid work environment (at least 3 days a week in office, subject to change), providing flexibility and accessibility for qualified candidates.
