Product Leader Opportunity! Manchester (2 days a week, Northern Quarter) | High-Growth SaaS Scale-Up

We’re supporting a venture-backed SaaS business at a pivotal stage. With committed investors, with plans to move forward for Series B investment in the next 1–2 years, they’re building new products to transform how their clients communicate with their customers directly. They’ve already proven there’s a problem worth solving — but curating and leading the strategy, scaling & upskilling the team, and shaping the long-term product vision is where they need you.

• A Blank Canvas (with backing): No rigid playbook, no outdated bureaucracy or red tape. They’re looking for someone to set the product vision, define strategy, and steer the ship.
• High-Impact Role: You’ll join the Senior Leadership Team, working closely with their CEO, CTO, Lead Architect, and a newly hired Engineering Manager.
• Scale-Up with Momentum: They’ve stripped back and built a more trusting, collaborative team. The foundations are there - now they need the leadership to grow.
• Massive Market Opportunity: Their product has the potential to become the go-to platform, solving costly problems around reliability, customer relationships, and efficiency.

• Own the Product Strategy & Vision: Take them from “drifting” to “driving” - setting the direction and building alignment across the business.
• Lead & Grow the Product Function: Manage the current Product + UX team, coach them, and scale the function.
• Collaborate at the Highest Level: Work as part of SLT to shape strategy, influence decisions, and connect product to engineering, commercial, and customer outcomes.
• Thrive in Ambiguity: They don’t want corporate. They want someone who embraces chaos, can create clarity, and has the hunger to build something game changing.

• Strong product leadership experience - you’ve built strategy and delivered at scale, not just shipped features.
• A collaborative mindset - you’ll bring people with you, not dictate from above.
• Hunger, resilience, and the personality to thrive in a fast-moving, messy scale-up environment.
• Domain experience isn’t essential - the right person can learn quickly.

This isn’t just another product leadership role. It’s a chance to define the strategy, shape the culture, and lead a product with huge potential - in a business on the verge of explosive growth. Get in touch asap if this role is of interest.
