Job Description

You’ll directly line manage Product Managers, giving fast feedback, helping them grow, and building a high-performing product team. You’ll work closely with engineering, commercial, operations, marketing and other leaders to shape priorities, manage trade-offs, and ensure the tribe is set up to succeed.

• Build alignment and secure buy-in for the tribe’s strategy and roadmap with stakeholders and senior leaders, clearly presenting trade-offs on behalf of teams and the wider tribe. 
• Work with Product Managers to translate strategic goals into clear roadmaps and backlogs, ensuring teams are focused on the highest-impact problems. 

Discovery: 

• Act as the accountable product lead for large, cross-tribe discovery initiatives, especially where the problem spans multiple teams or domains. 
• Guide discovery approaches across the tribe so teams are consistently uncovering real problems, unmet needs and meaningful opportunities. 
• Support and train PMs and POs on discovery best practices, helping them use data and customer insight to separate signal from noise. 
• Ensure the most important insights and learnings are shared, understood and acted on across the tribe. 

Delivery: 

• Oversee the end-to-end delivery of critical initiatives within the tribe, from shaping and prioritization through to launch.

• Help remove cross-team blockers, manage dependencies and adjust plans when needed to keep the tribe moving at pace. 
• Set expectations for quality, reliability and ways of working, and ensure teams are consistently meeting them. 

Adoption and impact:

• Drive adoption and usage of your tribe’s products across regions, segments and use cases. 
• Define and track key metrics for your tribe, and use data, customer feedback and commercial insight to refine strategy and roadmap. 
• Make sure the impact of what the tribe ships is clearly understood and communicated, and that learnings feed back into future plans. 

 Leadership, people and tribe management: 

• Line manage Product Managers in the tribe, owning the performance of your team, including hiring and growing great people, tackling underperformance quickly and fairly, and giving regular feedback to build a high-performing team. 
• Create clarity and alignment across multiple teams and functions, especially when working on cross-tribe or platform-wide initiatives.
