Head of Product in Cheltenham

VoCoVo is revolutionising communication within the UK retail sector. As Head of Product, you will spearhead the strategy and delivery of world-class product solutions that empower frontline teams, from retail associates to warehousing staff, to work smarter, faster, and more collaboratively. You will develop and grow our Product function and own the end-to-end product lifecycle, collaborating closely with engineering, design, marketing, sales and customer success to deliver measurable business impact. In addition to working alongside the Global Product Director to refine and execute the Product strategy, you will be a hands-on leader, diving into the details and owning the collective decision making of the Product team. You won’t be afraid to try new approaches to solving old problems and will champion our One Team philosophy, leading a happy, productive and impactful Product team.

Please note, this role is hybrid, with a typical expectation of 1-2 days per week in the office. Time will be spent across both our Cheltenham and Shipton-under-Wychwood locations, though not necessarily at both each week.

To apply for this position you must be based in the UK and have the legal right to work in the UK.
