Help Build the Product Operating System Behind a European SaaS Success Story
HireQ Talent is partnering with a growing technology business who is entering an exciting phase of growth, expanding its SaaS platform across Europe and investing heavily in its Product organisation to support that journey. As part of this growth, they are looking for a Product Operations Lead to help shape how Product teams operate, deliver and scale.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business at a pivotal stage in its evolution and play a key role in defining the processes, tools and operating rhythms that underpin a high-performing Product function.
Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer and working closely alongside the Head of Product Delivery, you'll be responsible for improving the way Product teams work, enabling better planning, greater visibility, stronger execution and more effective decision-making across the organisation.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional Product Management role.
It's a role for someone who loves making teams more effective.
Someone who enjoys creating clarity from complexity.
Someone who can identify opportunities to improve ways of working and then successfully bring people on that journey.
The successful candidate will act as an internal coach, change agent and operational leader, helping Product Owners, Product Managers, Development and QA teams adopt better processes, tools and practices.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading Product Operations across a growing Product organisation
- Owning and enhancing Product planning, roadmap management and reporting practices
- Creating and maintaining multiple roadmap views for different stakeholders
- Driving adoption and optimisation of Jira across Product teams
- Championing the effective use of AI tools and workflows across Product
- Developing meaningful delivery, output and performance reporting
- Coaching Product teams to improve consistency, efficiency and effectiveness
- Working across Product, Engineering and QA to improve delivery processes from idea through to release
- Establishing scalable frameworks, governance and operational best practices
- Supporting the evolution of the wider Product operating model as the business continues to grow across Europe
