An effective and adaptable digital leader with over fourteen years of Product management experience, with significant success leading product, engineering, and internal teams to deliver revenue generating customer focused products and services aligned to clear visions and roadmaps. I began my career as a front-end web developer, so can “talk tech” with engineers whilst simultaneously understanding and delivering against the broader strategic business needs.## KEY ACHIEVEMENTS ##~~ DELIVERY AND STRATEGY ~~ - Simplified historical Naturejobs.com relaunch plans to deliver new website features, redesign, retirement of legacy platforms and migration of 10 years of data within four months; a third of original timescales.- Modernised Naturejobs by re-establishing the vision for a product created 8 years prior, by collaborating with market research and senior stakeholders to assess product-market fit, motivating teams along the new direction. - Selected an agency for Naturejobs development; managing a ~£700k budget. Outsourced development team, including due diligence, managing on-going partner relationship and budget; saving ~£200k annually.~~ CHANGE ~~- Pitched and led a unique “Lean Product” Naturejobs pilot that experimented with various pricing models, ultimately leading to a business model change which generated over £1m new revenue by year end. - Accelerated software delivery from twice annually to fortnightly cadence by collaborating with engineering teams both local and remote, to embed new tools and better ways of working.- Secured £450k budget for a multi-year data IT programme by formulating an inaugural customer data strategy and roadmap to raise the profile and importance for high quality data management solutions.~~ COACHING AND GROWTH ~~- Expanded the commercial product team by constructing the necessary business case. Subsequently recruited additional product managers, defined roles and integrated into the business and 200+ stakeholders.- Coached and led four product managers by successfully establishing a positive team culture, whilst also setting and monitoring product KPI dashboards for continuous improvement.- Promoted “Lean Product Thinking” (Build-Measure-Learn) into marketing campaign activities to challenge the status-quo, embedding new and improved ways of working to drive team effectiveness.- Maximised the impact of first party customer data by increasing validity, volume and completeness by over 20% through initiating and shaping analytics/data workshops.
