Head of Product (Finance) in Ruddington

You are a genuine product leader who has built and led small teams and remained close enough to the work to understand what great product management looks like in practice. You are comfortable moving between strategy and execution, whether shaping vision, challenging thinking, or stepping in when needed. You bring experience in B2B SaaS or fintech and understand how product connects to revenue, retention, and market positioning. You are commercially literate, confident discussing ARR and ACV, and focused on outcomes over output.

You invest in people and create an environment where Product Managers can do their best work. You are energized by ambiguity and building from scratch, not reliant on large teams or established structures. You communicate clearly and credibly with both executives and your team.

You will join a lean Finance product function designed for focus and impact. This is a small team building something new, with high ownership and the opportunity to shape how the function operates. Product Managers own discovery, strategy, and outcomes, while Product Owners focus on delivery, allowing the role to stay genuinely strategic.

You will work closely with the Product Director in a culture built on trust, autonomy, and direct communication. Success is collective, and ways of working are still being defined, with real opportunity for you to influence how the team grows.

You will shape both the product and the function, setting direction, improving product thinking, and building a strong team. Your focus will be on solving real customer problems and driving measurable business outcomes. You will help bring a product to market and define how the team operates as it scales. Success is measured by impact, clarity, and the strength of the team you build, not just the features delivered.
