We’re looking for a Head of Digital Product to lead the strategy and delivery of our digital products across web and mobile apps, spanning the AA Driving School, AA Cars marketplace and Vehicle Servicing. This is a senior leadership role for someone who enjoys building high-performing teams, shaping modern digital experiences and delivering meaningful customer and commercial outcomes.
What will I be doing?
- Setting and owning the digital product strategy across multiple customer-facing platforms, aligned to user needs and business goals
- Leading and inspiring cross-functional digital product teams, creating clarity, pace and accountability
- Overseeing the end-to-end lifecycle of digital products across web and app, from discovery through to delivery and optimisation
- Using insight, data and experimentation to continuously improve customer journeys and measure impact
- Partnering closely with Engineering, Design, Analytics and senior stakeholders to prioritise work and make informed trade-offs
- Acting as a confident communicator and presenter, clearly articulating product vision, progress and outcomes at all levels of the organisation
- Championing agile ways of working and a culture of continuous learning and improvement
