• Build and lead a high-performing product team, working closely with Engineering, Commercial, Analytics and AI/Data functions 
• Set OKRs across core product domains and collaborate across the wider ECS product portfolio to ensure consistency and alignment 

What would success in the role look like? 

• A world-class product experience that delivers commercial growth and customer satisfaction 
• Successful launch and scale-up of new value-led, goal-based propositions that meet our changing customer needs 
• Demonstrable progress on data, AI and off-property strategy, with the product portfolio positioned to win as the market shifts toward AI-led and agentic consumer journeys 
• A highly engaged and motivated product team, across different geographies, delivering value consistently 
• Strong alignment across Product, Engineering, Commercial and Technology functions, with this role recognised as a key strategic partner to the CPCO 
• Clear evidence of innovation, market responsiveness and regulatory engagement 
• Continued growth of ECS's presence and leadership across our India and UK teams 
• Consumer-permissioned data demonstrably powering richer personalisation and higher-converting propositions across the portfolio 

Qualifications
