Head of Product

Informa is a leading academic publishing, business intelligence, knowledge, and events business, creating unique content and connectivity for customers all over the world. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a member of the FTSE 100.

Taylor & Francis is one of the world’s largest publishers of high-quality, peer reviewed scholarly journals, books, e-books and reference works. We empower learners, thinkers and doers with trusted knowledge that advances research and enriches lives. We bring together diverse people, ideas and opinions to validate and publish the experts, theories and truths that matter. And we’ve been doing this in an unbroken arc since 1798.

Our purpose is to foster human progress through knowledge. We strongly believe that this requires us to encourage and examine different ideas and voices, so that any work that meets our exacting levels of quality deserves to be included in our publications. This requires open minds, the opportunity for robust debate, and the courage to defend perspectives that stand up to scrutiny, even if they conflict with our personal beliefs or values.

Because that’s the only way to find the best obtainable version of the truth and, ultimately, foster human progress. If you agree, then we’d love to hear from you.

• Own the design and evolution of the domain model, making structural decisions about how domains are defined, where boundaries sit, and when the model needs to change.
• Ensure priorities are coherent across domains, managing dependencies and ensuring collective output adds up to more than the sum of its parts.
• Hold the bar for how product work is done across the model, the quality of problem definition, rigour of prioritisation, use of evidence, and standard of outcome measurement.
• Champion cross-domain portfolio thinking, creating forums and rituals that enable teams to align on shared problems and build toward a coherent customer experience.

• Set clear direction that enables experienced Senior PMs to make good independent decisions without escalation, reviewing regularly to ensure continued relevance.
• Create organisational conditions for high performance, removing blockers, securing resources and stakeholder support, and protecting the space needed for excellent work.
• Provide the context that makes autonomy meaningful, ensuring the team understands commercial goals, competitive landscape, and strategic bets.
• Invest seriously in career development through honest one-to-ones, stretching objectives, specific feedback, and deliberate growth opportunities for twelve senior individuals.

• Shape and sponsor strategically significant new product bets that open new revenue streams or expand T&F's addressable market, providing the senior leadership that 0-to-1 work requires.
