Core Responsibilities

Product Vision & Strategy:

• Lead C-suite-level stakeholder sessions to uncover challenges, align on opportunities, and define cohesive product visions.
• Translate complex systems – across journeys, data, tech, and operations – into clear strategies and actionable roadmaps.
• Build alignment and momentum at every level of a client’s business.
• Craft compelling narratives and storytelling that mobilize executive support and drive action.

Product Discovery:

• Design and run lean research and analysis – distilling insights quickly from data, competitors, and markets.
• Lead ideation, product vision, and roadmapping workshops that turn insights into direction.
• Apply the right prioritisation frameworks and establish meaningful product OKRs.
• Shape high-level requirements and solution designs, mapping user flows and defining what success looks like for early and future releases.

Product Definition & Development:

• Create and maintain a strategic product backlog: write clear, outcome-focused epics and stories that drive development.
• Collaborate with design, tech, and business leaders to assess value, effort, and impact, aligning priorities across teams.
• Lead backlog grooming, validation, and user feedback loops to ensure learning and iteration are continuous.

Growth, Leadership & Internal Impact:

• Identify opportunities to expand our impact on every account – helping clients go further and faster.
• Shape new business: qualify opportunities, frame problems, and lead the product/strategy story in pitches.
• Evolve our strategy and innovation offerings – defining their purpose, value, and methods.
• Contribute thought leadership: develop POVs, author insights, and represent Beyond in your area of expertise.
• Mentor and grow team members; match skills and ambitions to opportunities; and nurture a culture of curiosity and excellence.
• What Makes You Stand Out
• Extensive experience in senior product or strategy roles across agencies, consultancies, startups, or client-side environments.
• A natural collaborator who elevates teams, even through ambiguity and challenge.
• Exceptional storyteller – able to captivate executive audiences with clarity, confidence, and narrative craft.
• A skilled facilitator who creates space for diverse perspectives, drives focus, and moves groups toward decisions.

Deep empathy – you listen closely to customers, colleagues, and clients to design with insight and intention. You are an AI enthusiast – you have tinkered with the capabilities of LLM, and developed points of view or proof of concepts that leverage the new technology. Remote-First at Beyond

We operate a remote-first model. This means your primary work location is remote, but you are expected to work out of our studios or client locations for:

Collaboration sessions with customers and/or colleagues Customer meetings Internal workshops Mentoring and team sessions Cultural and social events On-site work

A team of smart, passionate people who genuinely care about what they do and the standard of work they produce Competitive salary and benefits package, and a 5% matched contributions pension scheme 25 days’ annual leave, Juneteenth, your birthday off and a paid office closure between Christmas and New Years

We believe culture plays a large role in what we offer as an organisation. We promote diversity in all its forms across our Studios, and we proudly and passionately create a culture of inclusivity and openness for all our employees. Beyond is committed to welcoming everyone, regardless of gender identity, orientation, or expression. Our mission is to remove exclusivity and barriers and encourage new thinking and perceptions in a space of belonging. It is not about race, gender, or age; it is about people. Without our people being their most creative and innovative selves, we are nothing.
