You will lead a senior product organisation (Product, User Research) and work in lock-step with Design, Engineering, Data, and Product Growth. Your mandate spans product strategy, operational excellence, and team scale-up:
Craft & communicate vision: Turn market insight and founder ambition into a clear, motivating product narrative that rallies the whole company.
