Working closely with our senior leadership team, you will lead and support the Product Development team, oversee the product pipeline from concept through to production and ensure clear priorities, timely decisions and effective cross-functional working.

We are looking for someone with significant product development experience, ideally gained within toys, arts & crafts, gifts, publishing or a similar consumer product environment.
