Director of Product (E-commerce) – 12 Month FTC
Location: London (Hybrid – 1–2 days per week in office)
About the Role
We’re partnering with a high-growth, customer-centric digital business undergoing a significant period of transformation to find an experienced Director of Product (E-commerce).
This is a 12-month fixed-term contract at Director level, stepping into a critical leadership position with responsibility for driving both short-term commercial performance and long-term product strategy across a large-scale B2C platform serving millions of users.
You’ll play a pivotal role during a time of strategic evolution and AI-driven transformation, working closely with senior leadership to shape the future direction of the product function and broader business.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll operate at both a strategic and hands-on level, setting direction while ensuring high-quality execution across multiple product domains.
Key responsibilities include:
- Defining and owning the product vision and strategy across core e-commerce experiences
- Driving measurable commercial outcomes (conversion, retention, revenue, frequency)
- Leading and developing a team of Product Leaders and Managers, maintaining a high bar for impact
- Navigating and influencing senior stakeholders across commercial, marketing, and executive teams
- Balancing long-term product investment with short-term trading performance
- Embedding a culture of experimentation, pace, and accountability
- Partnering cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Data, and Commercial teams
- Supporting the adoption of AI-driven product capabilities and tooling
What We’re Looking For (Non-Negotiable)
- Proven Director-level product experience (not a step-up role)
- Strong background in B2C environments
- Deep experience within e-commerce platforms at scale
- Demonstrated ability to operate at a strategic leadership level
- Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills
About You
You’re a commercially-minded product leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-impact environments. You’re equally comfortable shaping strategy at the top table and diving into the detail when needed.
You’ll likely bring:
- A strong track record of delivering growth and revenue impact
- Experience leading multi-team, multi-market product organisations
- Confidence making decisions with ambiguity and owning outcomes
- A passion for building high-performing product cultures
- Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI, experimentation, and innovation
Why This Role?
- Opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role with immediate influence
- Shape product direction during a transformational period under new leadership
- Work within a collaborative, modern product environment
- Exposure to AI-led innovation and evolving product strategy
Additional Details
- Start Date: Ideally June-July
- Contract: 12-month fixed-term
If you're an experienced Product Director looking for a high-impact role where you can drive both strategy and execution at scale, this is a compelling opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
