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.
