Head of Product - Drivers (London, UK)

The Role

As the Head of Product - Drivers at YourParkingSpace, you will lead the evolution of the driver experience across our entire digital ecosystem, including our high traffic consumer mobile apps and web platforms. Joining the Product & Technology function, you will oversee the squads responsible for driving customer acquisition, lifetime value (LTV), electric vehicles (EV), and our mobile applications. Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer, you will manage a team of Product Managers and will be responsible for scaling the function as the business grows. You will operate as a "player coach," directly leading the Apps squad while mentoring the wider team. This is a pivotal leadership position where you will confidently lead the transition of our ways of working, establishing product best practices as we move from a scrappy start up environment into a more structured, high performing organization. You will act as a strategic partner to Engineering and Design leadership, ensuring a world class experience for our 8 million users.
