Product Director (Saas)

Our client is seeking an experienced Product Director to lead a large product management function and play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of their product portfolio.
This is a highly strategic leadership opportunity for a proven product executive who combines strong people leadership, operational excellence and commercial thinking. The successful candidate will lead a team of senior Product Managers, drive product management maturity across the organisation, and ensure product strategy remains tightly connected to customer needs, business outcomes and market opportunities.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, the Product Director will be responsible for driving strategic product initiatives and partnering closely with executive stakeholders across Technology, Commercial, Customer and Operations functions.
The successful candidate will also play a key role in shaping how the organisation evolves its products and customer experiences in an increasingly AI-driven market. Working closely with Sales, Marketing and Customer Success teams, you will help define and execute go-to-market strategies that drive product adoption, customer growth and commercial success.
About You
You are an accomplished product leader with significant experience leading product organisations within B2B SaaS or enterprise software businesses.
You bring:
* A proven track record of leading and developing teams of senior Product Managers, ideally managing teams of 5-10 or more
* Experience partnering with executive leadership teams to influence strategy and drive organisational outcomes
* Strong experience developing and executing go-to-market strategies for SaaS products, including product launches, market positioning and growth initiatives
* Commercial acumen and an understanding of how product decisions drive customer acquisition, retention and revenue outcomes
* The ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving environments
* A clear perspective on emerging technology trends and the future role of AI in product strategy and customer experience
* Excellent communication, leadership and influencing capabilities
Industry Experience
Experience within accounting, tax, legal or financial services SaaS is essential.
Candidates whose experience is primarily within consumer-focused product organisations are unlikely to be a strong fit.
Why This Role?
This is a rare opportunity to influence the strategic direction of a market-leading software business and lead a significant product organisation during a period of transformation and growth. You will work alongside an experienced executive team, shape the future product vision, and play a critical role in delivering meaningful outcomes for customers and the business.
Please note that candidates who have not previously operated at Product Director level within a comparable B2B SaaS business in the accounting, tax, legal or financial services software sector will unfortunately not be considered for this opportunity.
