Product Operations Director

You’re the person leadership calls when ambitious strategies need turning into visible, measurable change, and you want a seat where you own the outcome, not just the slide deck.

As a Product Operations Director, you’ll partner directly with the Chief Product Officer of a global, private-equity-backed software business that has outgrown its original operating model.

The company has evolved from a largely co-located European organisation into a distributed international Product & Engineering group of around 250-300 people, and this role exists to rebuild how it plans, executes and reports at scale.

This isn’t Product Operations because it’s fashionable, it is a genuine organisational transformation mandate at the intersection of strategy, business operations and technology.

You’ll combine structured thinking, data, execution and executive communication to create clarity for leadership, alignment across teams and visibility for a demanding CEO and board.

What You'll Do

You will design and continuously refine a scalable operating model for an international Product & Engineering organisation, balancing innovation-friendly autonomy with the structure required for growth, as Product Operations Director.

You will translate technology and business strategy into clear priorities, measurable outcomes and practical operating rhythms, embedding accountability from roadmap through to delivery.

You will own the data and reporting layer for Product & Engineering, building dashboards, KPIs and management information that give the CPO, CEO and board real-time visibility and turning complex operational detail into compelling executive narratives.

You will personally lead organisational change initiatives end to end, diagnosing issues, shaping solutions, aligning stakeholders across Europe, India and the US, and staying close to implementation until results are proven.

You will strengthen cross-functional collaboration, simplifying how distributed teams make decisions, plan capacity and coordinate on critical initiatives.

You will champion an AI-first approach to Product Operations, experimenting with automation, intelligent workflows and emerging tools to reduce overhead, improve decision-making and increase organisational effectiveness.

You will act as a strategic operational partner and critical friend to technology leadership, offering insight, challenge and support on performance, risk and investment decisions.

What You'll Bring

You have a strong foundation in business strategy, management consulting, Strategy & Operations or organisational transformation, combined with hands-on delivery inside a scaling tech or SaaS business, and experience relevant to the Product Operations Director role.

You have proven experience designing and implementing operating models, metrics and rhythms that have materially improved execution, accountability and organisational performance.

You have executive-level communication skills and presence, with evidence of working directly with a CPO/CTO, CEO and board, and of turning complex data into clear, actionable stories.

You have a track record of leading change across international, geographically distributed teams, ideally including close collaboration with Product and Engineering functions.

You have strong analytical and operational discipline, including building or owning dashboards, KPIs, executive reporting and performance visibility for senior leadership.

You have practical AI literacy and curiosity, using AI and automation to streamline workflows, enhance insight and drive better decisions, coupled with a proactive, commercially minded and detail-attentive approach.

What's On Offer

Base salary £130,000 – £140,000 plus performance-related bonus, with flexibility for exceptional experience.

Fully remote working from the UK, collaborating with Product & Engineering teams across Europe, India and the United States. 25 days’ annual leave, 5% employer pension contribution, private medical cover, life assurance and group income protection.

Direct partnership with an experienced technology leadership team, regular interaction with the CEO and meaningful exposure to the board.

The opportunity to reshape how a global software organisation operates during an ambitious growth phase, with real authority to introduce new approaches and make change stick.

A technology environment investing heavily in AI, with the freedom to challenge existing processes, explore new tools and build more intelligent ways of working.

If you’re a Product Operations Director who wants to own a genuine organisational transformation, combining strategy, data and execution at the heart of a global software business, this role gives you the platform and visibility to do it.
