Head of Product 3 months contract initially in Leeds, Hybrid. £600 Outside IR35.
The opportunity to accelerate product development across two products for a client that builds digital products for public-sector construction procurement. Both products are in scope: a marketplace/matching platform, and an end-to-end contract management platform.
The engagement involves resetting the operating model and lifting pace: weekly releases by default, discovery ahead of delivery, rapid AI-assisted prototyping, and turning a deep construction dataset into insight-led product features.
Delivery runs as two autonomous product squads on a shared spine and they need a strong product leader to bridge the two.
The role:
- Single owner of product across both squads, holding day-to-day decision authority on prioritisation and execution within the client's strategy and guardrails.
- Run discovery properly: frame the problem, test hypotheses, bring evidence, and keep discovery ahead of delivery. Validate with customers before building.
- Make the trade-offs and hold the line - if everything is a priority, nothing is.
Must-have profile:
- Senior product leadership (Head of Product / Principal PM) on B2B SaaS or platform products.
- Genuinely modern, AI-enabled practice: comfortable in a fast, agentic, AI-assisted delivery environment and using AI tooling for rapid prototyping.
- Strong, evidence-led discovery and prioritisation; a decisive single-owner operator, not a committee.
- Track record of high-cadence delivery (roughly weekly releases, small batches, ownership of outcomes).
- Data-literate: turns product and business questions into insight and into product features, not just dashboards.
- Confident embedded client-side as a standalone owner, and coaching an internal successor.
Nice to have:
- Marketplace / two-sided platform, and/or contract-management or workflow products.
- Regulated B2B domains.
