Head of Product (Finance) in Ruddington

At MHR, our employees are central to our success and play a key role in helping customers achieve sustainable high performance. With a team of over 900 professionals, we work to make things flow smoothly, whether it's for large organisations or individual employees. As businesses face rapid changes in the world of work, our team is here to help them adapt and thrive.

By focusing on the core needs of efficiency, productivity, growth, and impact, our employees use their expertise to deliver real solutions through our People and Finance platform. This system, which covers finance, HR, payroll, and learning, helps businesses run more smoothly and make better decisions in real time.

With over 40 years of experience behind us, MHR’s track record as a high-performance organisation is built on clear goals, a shared vision, and strong communication - all of which we pass on to our customers.

MHR is more than just a place to work; it’s a platform for empowerment. Joining us means bringing innovation, technology, and teamwork seamlessly removes obstacles, enhances your skills, and allows you to focus on what’s most important to you - work that matters. With us, you’ll grow, find your flow, and make a lasting difference in your career, your team, and your impact.

You are a 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 energised 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.

• Strong communicator across levels - translates strategy for PMs and operational reality for the Director.
