ABOUT THE POSITION The Product Director will provide senior product leadership across several of Virtuos’ AI tracks, primarily General & Administrative functions, Sales and PMO, while supporting other tracks as needed. Each track has a Product Owner leading it end to end and a Producer or Project Manager managing delivery. The Product Director will work across these teams to strengthen product direction, prioritisation and execution, while coaching Producers and Project Managers who are still developing their experience.

Prioritisation and Decision-Making • Help teams prioritise features and initiatives when needs, resources and timelines compete. • Make and facilitate clear trade-off decisions when everything appears urgent. • Challenge assumptions and ensure proposed initiatives have a clear problem, user and expected value. • Adjust priorities as new information, user feedback and performance data become available. Delivery Leadership • Guide Producers and Project Managers on planning, sequencing, dependency management, risk management and stakeholder communication. • Introduce practical product and project management disciplines that improve clarity, accountability and delivery. • Identify risks and blockers early and work across teams to resolve them. • Help teams move from experimentation to reliable delivery, adoption and measurable impact.
