Chester | Hybrid (Tues & Wed in office) | £85,000 - £90,000
6-month FTC High chance of going perm
Are you a product leader who thrives on fixing broken processes, aligning teams, and tackling tough vendor relationships head-on?
This is not your standard Head of Product role. We need someone who can walk into a challenging but exciting environment, quickly assess what's working (and what isn't), build trust with stakeholders, and drive real change. You'll be leading product for a well-established finance business, working with a critical but difficult third-party tech provider while rebuilding confidence in an under-supported internal team.
What's the challenge?
* Own & drive product strategy: Lead the roadmap, align with the business, and push for innovation.
* Fix a tough vendor relationship: The core platform is managed by a difficult third party, and we need someone who can build trust and transparency with them while keeping them accountable.
* Rebuild the internal product team: This small but talented team has lacked strong leadership. Your job? Give them their confidence back and set a clear direction.
* Stakeholder management is everything: Senior leadership needs a strong communicator who can cut through the noise, understand priorities, and get buy-in.
* Deliver a complex platform migration: The business is moving to a new core system, and it's not been smooth sailing. You'll need to bring structure, clarity, and direction.
What You'll Need To Smash This Role
* 7-8+ years in Product Management in tech, fintech or ideally SaaS.
* A track record of managing tough third-party relationships: You know how to influence, push back, and drive results.
* Excellent stakeholder management skills: You're great at navigating internal politics, getting buy-in, and making things happen.
* Experience leading a team: Coaching, mentoring, and bringing out the best in people.
* Strong commercial mindset: You understand product, but you also get the business side and can drive real impact.
* Agile, data-driven, and customer-focused: You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
The Details
