Hold the platform steady while strategy is decided, and leave behind a roadmap process and decision rights that the permanent leader can inherit.
An unnamed organization needs an interim Product Director for its consumer platform while the longer-term product and investment strategy is settled. The recruiter says knowledge sharing is thin and stakeholder communication uneven today.
For about six months you keep delivery running and, in parallel, make product decisions visible: how priorities are set, who decides what, and how progress reaches the executive team. You finish with a close-out report for the permanent leader. The rate is advertised at about £900 a day, outside IR35, hybrid in London.
What you will do
- Run day-to-day product delivery and collect what key stakeholders know
- Map how decisions and prioritization really happen today, informal habits included
- Design and embed a transparent roadmap and prioritization process
- Clarify decision rights and set up governance forums
- Set a reporting rhythm on roadmap, KPIs and outcomes, and prepare monthly exec and SLT meetings
- Hand over a close-out report on adoption, risks and recommendations
What the posting asks for
- Senior product leadership, ideally in transformation roles
- A record of bringing product practice into large corporates pragmatically
- Comfort with C-level stakeholders in a regulated, risk-aware setting
- Strong storytelling, stakeholder management and documentation
- Experience with a high-volume consumer platform
An operating-model brief disguised as an interim seat: the deliverables are a prioritization process, governance forums and a reporting rhythm, not features. The rate is advertised at about £900 a day, outside IR35. It is almost certainly full-time for the six months.
The recruiter does not name the client. It describes a strategic B2B2C platform at consumer scale inside a corporate, risk-aware organization. Intelligent People, a UK recruiter, is hiring on its behalf (ref DB9917).
