Product Manager

hackajob is collaborating with Board Intelligence to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.

Board Intelligence is a technology and advisory firm on a mission to make boards more effective - and through them, build better businesses and benefit society.

We do this through a suite of AI powered software tools, evaluation frameworks, and advisory services, built on twenty years of boardroom experience. Our work improves how boards operate and how leaders make decisions at the highest level.

We work with over 80,000 leaders and 3,000 organisations globally, including clients across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. In 2024 we received substantial backing from K1 Investment Management, the leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investor, marking the start of a significant new chapter for the business.

We are growing and growing fast. That means real opportunities for the people who join us now - to shape how we scale, to work at the intersection of AI and governance, and to do some of the most commercially and intellectually interesting work in their careers.

We are also deliberate about how we grow. Our founders and leadership team are deeply invested in keeping the culture that got us here: thoughtful, high calibre, and genuinely human. We are a company where ambition and balance are not in competition.

If that sounds like the right environment for you, we would love to hear from you.

The Role

We are looking for a Product Manager to own a defined product area within our AI-powered platform. This is an individual contributor role for someone who combines strong product fundamentals with genuine curiosity about AI and a clear understanding of how product decisions connect to commercial outcomes.

You will work closely with design, engineering, and go-to-market teams to identify the right problems to solve, shape the solutions, and drive adoption. You will be expected to bring a commercial lens to every decision and to contribute actively to how the product team works.

Main Responsibilities

• Own a product area end to end, from understanding client needs and validating problems through to delivery, launch, and adoption.

• Identify and prioritise the most impactful problems to solve, balancing client value and business return on investment.

• Translate research, data, and insight into clear product decisions, partnering with design, user research, and engineering to define feasible and well-scoped solutions.

• Lead execution from concept through to release, maintaining quality and momentum throughout the delivery cycle.

• Bring a commercial lens to product decisions, connecting feature investment to business outcomes such as retention, expansion, and new logo growth.

• Work with AI capabilities throughout the product lifecycle, whether scoping AI-powered features, evaluating model behaviour, or identifying where automation creates genuine user value.

• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to support go-to-market activity, including shaping messaging, contributing to collateral, and enabling the commercial team to position new capabilities confidently.

• Define and track success metrics across adoption, client satisfaction, and return on investment, using these to inform future iterations.

• Represent Board Intelligence with clients and senior users where required, building trust and ensuring the product reflects their evolving needs.

• Contribute to product team ways of working, sharing knowledge and raising the standard of product practice across the team.

Person Specification

Required Skills and Experience

• Experience in product management in a B2B SaaS environment, with a track record of owning and shipping product improvements that drove measurable outcomes.

• Ability to lead product strategy for a defined area, owning outcomes without requiring direct line management authority.

• Commercially minded, able to link product decisions to business performance, revenue impact, and return on investment.

• Experienced in working with cross-functional teams across design, engineering, sales, and customer success.

• Genuine curiosity about AI, with practical understanding of how AI capabilities can be applied to solve real user problems. Experience working on AI-powered features or products is a strong advantage.

• Confident communicator, comfortable presenting to and engaging with senior stakeholders and clients.

• Analytical and evidence-driven, with the ability to move from data and research to clear decisions and prioritised roadmaps.

• Collaborative and self-directing, with the ability to operate in a fast-paced, scaling environment where priorities can shift.

• Brings initiative and ownership, with the ability to hold both the detail and the strategic picture simultaneously.

What good looks like in this role

• You make decisions quickly and with appropriate rigour, moving the product forward without waiting for perfect information.

• You understand your clients well enough to challenge assumptions, including those held internally.

• You connect every significant product decision to a commercial rationale and can articulate that clearly to any audience.

• You work with AI thoughtfully, neither dismissing its potential nor overstating what it can deliver.

• You leave the product team slightly better at its craft because you are in it.
