You will set objectives and performance measures for the department, assess current and future skills requirements and ensure the team has the right structure, capabilities and resources to support the agency's growth plans. Alongside people leadership, you will take commercial ownership of the function, including responsibility for departmental revenue, costs, budgets and profitability.

You will have overall responsibility for ensuring development projects are delivered to a consistently high standard. You will oversee capacity, productivity and utilisation across the team, including the balance between billable and non-billable activity, and build relationships with external technology partners where additional expertise or capacity is required. Innovation, AI and continuous improvement This role will be central to the agency's continued evolution. You will keep ahead of emerging technologies and development trends, assess where they can create meaningful value and introduce new tools and approaches where appropriate.

About you: You are likely to have at least 7 years' experience in web or software development, together with a strong track record of leading technical teams. Previous experience in an agency, consultancy or similarly fast-paced client environment would be particularly valuable. Technically, you will bring strong knowledge of modern web development technologies. Experience across areas such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and CMS platforms would be highly relevant, alongside a sound understanding of UX and UI principles. You will ideally bring: Experience leading, mentoring and developing technical teams. The ability to create and deliver a clear technical strategy. Strong commercial awareness and experience managing budgets or departmental financial performance. Confidence scoping complex technical solutions for clients. A practical understanding of AI, automation and emerging technologies. The ability to troubleshoot complex technical challenges and make sound decisions. A genuine interest in innovation and improving how technology supports both clients and the wider business. This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a technical function rather than simply managing a development team.

We have partnered with an ambitious, tax technology start-up that is solving one of the accountancy profession's most complex challenges, encoding dense legislation into structured, executable rules to automate expert decision-making at scale. Having secured initial seed funding and with a live accounting platform integration already driving revenue, they are now looking for a Head of Product to drive the roadmap from zero to one. This is not a corporate strategy role with layers of bureaucracy. It is a rare chance to step in as a founding product operator, working hand-in-glove with the founders and a newly appointed Founding Product Designer to build a disruptive B2B platform from its early foundations. The Role As the Head of Product, you will take complete day-to-day ownership of the product lifecycle. You will be the vital engine that translates market needs into a clear, focused roadmap. You will spend time on the ground with accounting clients, running deep user discovery sessions, and working alongside in-house specialists to dissect complex, data-heavy workflows. Your primary mission is to translate multi-layered compliance and financial data relationships into tight, definitive product requirements and actionable user stories for the engineering team Key Responsibilities Define, manage, and prioritise the end-to-end product lifecycle, making the firm choices necessary to protect the engineering team's focus. Conduct deep research and interviews with existing clients, converting real-world observations into definitive product insights. Translate complex legal legislation and user feedback into exceptionally clear, logic-driven user stories and acceptance criteria with zero ambiguity. Partner closely with the Founding Product Designere to marry the structural what and why of the product with an intuitive user experience. Collaborate with internal domain experts to map high-stakes tax rules into robust, deterministic product workflows. What We Are Looking For You have been a primary product decision-maker at an early-stage startup, ideally as employee number 1 to 20, meaning you understand the pace and reality of building from scratch. You do not need a tax background, but you must have a proven track record of mastering highly complex systems with dense, interlocking data points, such as Fintech, Regtech, Compliance, Legaltech, or advanced ERP workflows. You are a data-driven operator who prioritises core user value over simply shipping features, and you are comfortable holding your ground with founders when product trade-offs require it. You thrive in an environment with zero hand-holding, meaning you are happy to write your own specs, run your own user research, and actively unblock your own engineers. Nice to Have Prior experience within tax, accounting, or professional services automation software. Hands-on familiarity with deterministic rule engines or advanced data logic, rather than purely probabilistic AI. Experience working with Xero, QuickBooks, or similar accounting API ecosystems. The Package This role offers fully remote working, a competitive 85,000 base salary + 50% bonus, and a meaningful equity allocation via an employee share scheme designed to ensure a significant financial reward. Ripple Recruitment is acting as an employment agency for this vacancy. My client is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. Due to high volumes of interest, we can only respond to shortlisted applicants.
