Do you have a passion for art and a knack for building category-defining SaaS products?

Artlogic is on a mission to revolutionise the art world with innovative technology. We're seeking a visionary VP of Product Management to lead our product organisation and propel our business to the forefront of the industry.


In this role, you will:

  • Shape the Future: Develop a best-in-class product strategy informed by user research, market analysis, and data insights. Partner with the CEO, CTO, and executive team to ensure the product roadmap aligns with the company's vision and drives significant growth.

Cross functional alignment around communication, training, planning and roll-out is of paramount importance.


Strategic Focus:

  • Coaching and Mentoring: A large part of this role will be coaching and mentoring product managers. In the longer-term, we should see these product managers developing both in their product management skills, their emotional intelligence, and their ability to grow self-running, self-aware and empathetic teams.
  • Product Strategy: Aligning the product roadmaps and strategic product initiatives will be critical to long term success. They must align with and enable execution of our commercial strategy and objectives. The interdependence between products and focusing on the needs of the end user will be very important to ensure products are successfully sold and adopted.
  • Collaboration: This role should be a connector across the executive team and the business, working to ensure that our product initiatives inspire excitement, buy-in, and belief in our ability to meet larger business goals.
  • Market understanding: Regularly engaging with clients globally, with particular emphasis on the dominant US and UK markets, to understand their challenges and needs to solve their pain points and drive Artlogic's market position, with an opportunity to formalise client involvement in the product development process through forums, advisory boards, and design partner programs.
