- Collaborate with the Head of Product and our Sales and Marketing teams to develop effective pricing and positioning strategies
- Lead product delivery from concept through to launch, working closely with the Development teams to ensure high-quality execution and customer satisfaction
- Collaborate with local authorities, government departments (like MHCLG, LABC, HMLR), and industry partners to understand frontline challenges and adapt product features accordingly
- Stay ahead of legislative changes and make sure our solutions are always compliant and competitive
- Organise and lead workshops and user groups to keep the customer voice at the centre
- Spot growth opportunities and help expand our market share across the UK—and potentially beyond
- Champion digital transformation and business process improvement through NEC solutions
- Monitor industry trends and competitor activity to continuously refine the product offering
