You will oversee a diverse portfolio spanning established affiliate products, business-to-business technology platforms, monetisation solutions, partner integrations and emerging digital products.

Your primary objective will be to bring these initiatives together into a cohesive, commercially driven product organisation, ensuring clear priorities, scalable technology and measurable business outcomes.

Working closely with the executive leadership team, engineering, commercial stakeholders and operational teams, you will play a central role in determining how the business develops, launches and monetises its products.
