Product Director, Innovation & New Ventures

Unit4

21h • Remote

About The Position

Unit4 is investing in its next generation of products and is looking for an exceptional product leader to lead the team and own the portfolio that brings them to market. This role involves owning new products end-to-end, including what gets built, who buys it, what it costs, and its market success. The Product Director will set the direction, lead product managers, shape pricing and go-to-market strategies, and be accountable for commercial results. This is an opportunity for a leader who has mastered the product craft and wants to build the team and products that define Unit4's future.

Requirements

• Direct experience building products in one of our domains: accounting or financial management software, FP&A and planning software, HR or recruiting solutions, or project and professional services management.
• Shipped products used in these domains, not just advised on them. A strong adjacent back-office background counts if the depth is real.
• Mastered the full product lifecycle and have led and grown product managers doing it. Set the standard, coach the team, and raise the bar.
• Deep fluency in how mid-market services organizations run their back office, and a clear grasp of what makes ERP genuinely different from generic SaaS.
• Commercial ownership. Understand how product decisions drive ARR, win rate, and retention, and can own pricing and the commercial case.
• A bias to ship and a love of seeing real products in customers’ hands.

Nice To Haves

• A serious AI practitioner in your own right. Work AI-first and push the tooling hard, and have a point of view on how AI is reshaping the way our customers work and the products they will need.
• Executive presence that can command a room, whether presenting to leadership or running a collaborative working session with customers.
• The ability to bring people with you across functions through clarity and momentum rather than authority.

Responsibilities

• Own the portfolio of new product bets: choose what the team takes on, sequence the work, and decide what advances and what stops.
• Hire, lead, and grow the product managers, set the standard for the craft, and own the team’s performance and development.
• Set the direction for what gets built, drawing on customers, the market, and the team’s discovery, and join the customer moments that matter most.
• Own the commercial outcomes of the portfolio: pricing, packaging, go-to-market, and the win-rate and growth that follow.
• Hold the team accountable for outcomes across the portfolio: adoption, usage, and customer impact, not just shipping.
• Secure the development capacity and hold the delivery standard across the portfolio.
• Operate with executive-level trust and autonomy, own the program’s direction, and represent it to senior leadership.
• Build strong partnerships across product, engineering, sales, and customer success.

Benefits

• Flexible Leave Paid Time Off policy
• Remote working opportunities
• Global Wellbeing Days
• Tools and guidance for growth opportunities
• Work with talented colleagues, role models and mentors
• Commitment to sustainability with initiatives such as Environmental, Social, and Governance strategy and Act4Good programme
• Safe and inclusive working environment supported by Employee Resource Groups
