This is a leadership role for someone who can set a bold direction and also dive into details when needed, grow a team, lead through influence, and create the structure and momentum for product managers to thrive.

Responsibilities

• Drive adoption and depth: create product experiences that increase penetration across the employee base and encourage multi-product usage.
• Lead the charge: build a product vision and strategy for your area, ensuring alignment with Benifex goals and an exceptional customer experience.
• Develop a team: build and coach a product team to obsess over customers, innovate, move quickly, and enjoy their work.
• Unify the experience: champion a seamless, integrated experience across the product suite, balancing usability, performance, and scalability.
• Communicate effectively: inspire stakeholders with the product vision and share the right context with the right people at the right time.
• Embed AI thinking: identify and deliver opportunities where AI and automation add real, differentiated value to users.

• Extensive experience in global product management in the B2B SaaS sector (leading multiple products across markets/regions).
• Demonstrated ability to build and lead high-calibre product organizations (leading 5+ squads/product managers).
• Experience embedding AI across products and building AI-enhanced features.

Skills

• Building a multi-market product with the ability to balance priorities across geographies.
• Good judgement to make decisions in complex situations with no single right answer.
• Obsesses over engagement, retention, and long-term value creation—not just output.
• Strong storytelling to motivate and inspire teams towards a common goal.
