About Forge Holiday Group

At Forge Holiday Group, we don't just do holidays, we create memories.
With market-leading brands like
Sykes Holiday Cottages, Forest Holidays,
and
Bachcare
in New Zealand, we're 1,700+ strong and powered by four values:
One Business, Keep it Simple, Grow & Learn, Sustainable Impact.

About the Role

We're looking for an exceptional
Product Director
to help shape and deliver the future of holidays. This is a senior leadership role with high visibility and impact, responsible for turning strategy into execution, empowering product teams, and delivering meaningful outcomes for guests, owners, and the business.

You'll lead a high performing group of heads of product to help us build a better experience for our guests, owners and to support our ambitious plans around our platform & AI, ensuring each team is focused, empowered, and delivering against clear priorities.

As a trusted partner to the
Chief Product Officer
, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering the product vision, scaling our operating model, and building a modern, outcome-driven product organisation that's set up to win.

What You'll Do

  • Lead product execution across the group, ensuring teams are solving the right problems in the right way.
  • Coach and develop Heads of Product and Product Managers, setting high standards for discovery, delivery, and communication.
  • Champion a modern product operating model with best practices in planning, prioritisation, estimation, research, KPIs, outcomes, and AI readiness.
  • Translate strategic intent into action, connecting group-wide goals to domain-level objectives and roadmaps.
  • Strengthen cross-functional alignment with peers in engineering, design, operations, customer support, and marketing.
  • Bring momentum and energy, galvanising teams around shared goals and removing blockers.
  • Foster a culture of transparent, inclusive discovery that connects innovation to commercial outcomes.
  • Model outstanding product leadership behaviours: thoughtful listening, strategic clarity, and decisive execution.

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Proven experience as a
    Director or VP of Product
    , delivering results in complex, cross-functional environments.
  • Strong background as a hands-on PM, with the ability to credibly coach and mentor others.
  • Practical, modern understanding of discovery, agile delivery, stakeholder management, and measurement.
  • High EQ, low ego: an empathetic communicator who rallies teams around shared purpose.
  • Experience in
    consumer platforms
    or
    two-sided marketplaces
    (travel, hospitality, fintech, e-commerce).
  • Ability to bring clarity and structure in times of ambiguity or change.
  • Experience building or scaling domain-led teams, with awareness of how UX, data, and AI shape modern product work.
  • Commitment to continuous improvement – raising the bar and giving/receiving feedback well.

About You

You will take ownership and follow through. You bring energy, positivity, and a
bias for action
. You're a starter-finisher who sets high standards, communicates with clarity, and lifts others up. You thrive on collaboration and shared success – and take pride in doing things well.
