6d•Remote

About The Position

Driftrock is hiring a Head of Product to set the direction for our platform and lead the team building the products that help automotive brands and dealers deliver the world's best experience for finding, buying and owning a car. This role reports to the CEO and is fully remote, UK or abroad, with a few hours of daily UK overlap. The Head of Product will be accountable for Driftrock's product strategy and the results it delivers, deciding what to build across the platform and internal tooling, leading and growing the product team, and ensuring major bets ship and move key metrics. The role involves hands-on work, customer discovery, and building a scalable product operating model. The company is at a pivotal stage, preparing to launch new products, expand across Europe, and integrate AI, requiring a product leader to guide this growth.

Requirements

A track record of leading product for a B2B SaaS platform, ideally combined with experience in consumer product or product-led growth, with a strategy that measurably grew revenue, retention or a core customer metric.
Experience managing and developing product managers, and building a team where people do their best work.
Strong Senior or Lead Product Managers ready to take this next step are encouraged to apply.
Evidence of taking a new product or major bet from first discovery through to a successful launch.
Strong product judgement: you make clear, well-reasoned calls on what not to build as well as what to build, and bring people with you.
A habit of regular customer discovery, and comfort combining customer insight with product and commercial data to make decisions.
You have a strong experimental and data-driven mindset.
The ability to work closely with engineering and design leaders on technical trade-offs, sequencing and delivery.
Clear written and spoken communication, from a one-page strategy to a board update, in a remote, async-friendly team.
Comfort being hands-on when it helps, from writing a brief to digging into the data yourself.
You take a collaborative, pragmatic approach to leadership and are comfortable getting into the details when needed.
Experience working in a smaller, fast-growing company rather than exclusively in a large, highly structured enterprise environment.

Nice To Haves

Experience with marketing technology, lead generation, messaging or CRM-adjacent products.
Knowledge of the automotive or e-mobility industry, especially how brands and dealers work together.
Experience shipping AI-powered products, or using AI tools heavily across discovery and delivery.
Experience launching products into new markets.
Experience shaping pricing and packaging for a SaaS product

Responsibilities

Set the product vision and strategy for the Driftrock platform, turning company goals into a clear, evidence-backed roadmap the whole company understands.
Lead, coach and grow the Product team, setting high standards for discovery, decision-making and delivery, and hiring well as the team expands.
Make the big prioritisation calls across customer-facing products and internal tooling, balancing customer value, commercial impact and technical health so Engineering always works on what matters most.
Take new products from first discovery to market, each with a clear launch plan and success measures.
Solution design alongside Product Managers and other stakeholders.
Stay close to customers, spending time with brands, dealers and partners every month so real evidence shapes every major decision.
Build a product operating model that scales, with shared rituals, metrics and tools that help a remote team move quickly and stay aligned.
Partner with Commercial, Marketing and Customer Success on pricing, packaging, positioning and launches, so what we build lands well and grows revenue.
Report on product performance to the CEO and board, showing clearly what we shipped, what it changed and what we learned.
