About the Role

We’re partnering with a high-growth, customer-centric digital business undergoing a significant period of transformation to find an experienced Director of Product (E-commerce).

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract at Director level, stepping into a critical leadership position with responsibility for driving both short-term commercial performance and long-term product strategy across a large-scale B2C platform serving millions of users.

You’ll play a pivotal role during a time of strategic evolution and AI-driven transformation, working closely with senior leadership to shape the future direction of the product function and broader business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Defining and owning the product vision and strategy across core e-commerce experiences
• Driving measurable commercial outcomes (conversion, retention, revenue, frequency)
• Leading and developing a team of Product Leaders and Managers, maintaining a high bar for impact
• Navigating and influencing senior stakeholders across commercial, marketing, and executive teams
• Balancing long-term product investment with short-term trading performance
• Embedding a culture of experimentation, pace, and accountability
• Partnering cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Data, and Commercial teams
• Supporting the adoption of AI-driven product capabilities and tooling

What We’re Looking For (Non-Negotiable)

• Proven Director-level product experience (not a step-up role)
• Strong background in B2C environments
• Deep experience within e-commerce platforms at scale
• Demonstrated ability to operate at a strategic leadership level
• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills

Additional Details

• Start Date: Ideally June-July
• Contract: 12-month fixed-term

If you're an experienced Product Director looking for a high-impact role where you can drive both strategy and execution at scale, this is a compelling opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
