About the role
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.
