Principal Product Manager

Company Description

Help shape the next generation of product and learning experiences at one of the world's leading people development organisations.

At Insights, we believe people thrive when they better understand themselves and others. Our learning solutions help organisations across the globe build stronger relationships, develop leaders and create lasting positive change.

We're now looking for a Principal Product Manager to join our Product Leadership Team and play a key role in shaping the future of our product portfolio.

This is a rare opportunity to influence the product strategy, performance and evolution of a global portfolio of learning products and experiences used by organisations around the world. Reporting directly to our Head of Product, you'll play a key role in determining where we invest, what we evolve, what we scale and where we innovate next.

If you're an experienced product leader who enjoys operating at the intersection of customer value, commercial outcomes and innovation, we'd love to hear from you.

This role offers the opportunity to shape strategic investment outcomes, influence organisational priorities and leave a lasting impact on how products are developed and delivered across Insights.

Flexible Working

We believe people do their best work when they can balance their professional and personal commitments. That's why we're open to discussing flexible working arrangements and will consider requests that help you thrive both at work and at home. If there's something we can do to support you, please let us know.

Job Description

The Opportunity

As Principal Product Manager, you'll own the vision, product strategy and roadmap for our product portfolio across physical, digital and blended learning experiences.

You'll work closely with senior employees across Product, Technology, Learning, Commercial, Marketing, Sales and Customer Experience to ensure we're focused on the opportunities that deliver the greatest value for our customers, learners and business.

This role is about far more than roadmap delivery.

You'll influence strategic investment choices, elevate product management capability across the organisation, help shape our approach to AI and emerging technologies, and build the frameworks, governance and operating rhythms that enable high-performing product teams to thrive.

You'll also play a key role in developing product management capability across Insights, helping to establish the standards, frameworks and ways of working that enable teams to deliver exceptional outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing

• Defining and delivering the product vision, strategy and multi-year roadmap for our learner product portfolio.
• Steering product investment and prioritisation choices across a diverse product landscape.
• Identifying opportunities to innovate, scale, simplify or retire products.
• Driving measurable improvements in customer, learner and commercial outcomes.
• Partnering with Product, Technology, Learning and Design teams to bring innovative ideas to market.
• Using insight, data and evidence to inform product choices and portfolio direction.
• Coaching and developing Product Managers while contributing to product leadership across the organisation.
• Influencing senior stakeholders and helping shape wider business product strategy.
• Exploring how emerging technologies, including AI, can enhance product experiences and business value.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

We're interested in hearing from experienced product evangelists who have successfully shaped product strategy, influenced investment outcomes and led teams, portfolios or product functions in complex organisations.

Your background may come from SaaS, technology, professional services, learning, HR technology, consultancy or another environment where you've delivered meaningful customer and commercial outcomes. What's most important is your ability to think strategically, make evidence-based conclusions and bring people together around a shared product vision.

What matters most is your ability to demonstrate:

• Experience managing complex product portfolios or multiple interconnected products.
• A track record of creating and executing product strategies linked to measurable business outcomes.
• Strong commercial acumen and experience making investment and prioritisation choices.
• Experience managing and developing high-performing product teams.
• Confidence influencing senior stakeholders across complex organisations.
• Strong technology fluency and an understanding of modern product development approaches.
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with pragmatic delivery.
• An evidence-led approach to decision making.

Experience within SaaS, HR Technology, Learning Technology, Professional Services, Digital Products or Product Transformation environments would be particularly valuable, although not essential.
