Director of Product – London, United Kingdom

We're looking for a Director of Product to lead product strategy and execution across Holistic AI's enterprise AI governance and assurance platform.

You'll own product direction end to end: setting priorities, aligning Engineering and go-to-market around customer outcomes, and building a coherent roadmap as we scale. You'll work across Product, Engineering, Pre-Sales, Field Deployment, Sales and leadership to turn complex customer needs in AI governance, assurance, risk and regulatory alignment into a clear product strategy. As we grow, you'll also shape the product function itself: its people, its processes and how it works.

What you'll do

• Own the product vision, strategy and roadmap for our core platform.
• Translate enterprise customer needs across AI governance, assurance, risk, compliance and regulatory alignment into clear product priorities.
• Lead product discovery with customers and commercial teams to understand problems, validate opportunities and find where to build next.
• Partner with Engineering, Pre-Sales, Field Deployment and Sales to align discovery, prioritisation, delivery and customer adoption.
• Make clear prioritisation calls that balance customer value, commercial opportunity, product quality, technical complexity and engineering capacity.
• Define product success metrics, and use customer feedback, market insight and data to judge outcomes and set future priorities.
• Communicate product strategy and roadmap decisions clearly across the company.
• Put product processes in place that support scale without adding bureaucracy.
• Build, mentor and develop product capability as the company grows.
• Represent Product at leadership level and, where appropriate, with strategic customers and external stakeholders.
• Bring technical, regulatory, customer and commercial perspectives together into sound product decisions.
• Stay close to developments in AI, regulation, standards and enterprise requirements so product direction stays relevant.

What you'll bring

• Significant product leadership experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software or a related technology environment.
• A track record of owning product strategy and roadmap outcomes end to end, in close partnership with Engineering.
• Experience turning complex customer, market and business needs into clear product priorities.
• Strong commercial awareness: you understand how product decisions drive customer value and business growth.
• The ability to work well with technical, regulatory, commercial and customer-facing stakeholders.
• Sound prioritisation and product judgement, and the confidence to make and explain difficult trade-offs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with senior leadership and technical teams alike.
• Experience in a scaling organisation where processes, teams and product capabilities are still evolving.
• A collaborative leadership style that brings teams together around a common product direction.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership of outcomes.

Nice to have

• A background in AI/ML products, AI governance, risk, compliance, security or enterprise software.
• Experience building products for regulated, risk-sensitive or complex enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with AI governance frameworks, regulations, standards and assurance methods, including the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF).
• Experience working with senior enterprise stakeholders across technology, security, risk, compliance, legal or business functions.
• Previous Director, Head of Product or equivalent senior product leadership scope.
• Experience leading or developing product teams in a growing organisation.
• Experience with international customers and distributed engineering or commercial teams.

What success looks like

Success means a clear product direction and strong alignment on what we build, why we build it and how we measure its impact. You'll know it's working when:

• Product strategy is clearly connected to customer needs, market opportunity and company objectives.
• The roadmap is focused, understood across the company and backed by clear prioritisation decisions.
• Engineering, Product and commercial teams are aligned on priorities and outcomes.
• Discovery consistently brings real customer and market insight into decisions.
• Releases deliver measurable customer and business value.
• Decisions are informed by evidence, data, customer feedback and commercial context.
• Product processes get more effective as the company scales.
• The product function has the capability, talent and structure for the next stage of growth.

Location and working model

• London, United Kingdom
  
• Close collaboration with Engineering and commercial teams across regions.
• Regular engagement with customers and internal stakeholders.
