The opportunity
Our client is looking for a Head of Product Adoption to build a brand-new capability that sits at the heart of their next phase of growth.
Working across Product, Customer Success, Professional Services, Sales and Marketing, you'll define how new platform capabilities are launched, adopted and embedded by customers. From shaping internal launch readiness to supporting early customer programmes, you'll ensure new products move smoothly from development into successful customer adoption.
This is a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up. There isn't a predefined playbook or established team waiting for you to manage. Instead, you'll create the processes, frameworks and operating model that will scale as the business grows, while helping recruit and develop the team around you.
If you enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity, working across multiple disciplines and helping turn great products into successful customer outcomes, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact.
