Digital Science is transforming how global research is conducted, and we're seeking an exceptional Chief Product Officer to accelerate this mission. Reporting to the CEO, you will lead our product strategy and innovation across our product portfolio, directly impacting how researchers worldwide discover, analyse, and share groundbreaking work.

As our Chief Product Officer, you will unify and elevate our product organisation during a pivotal growth and development phase. You'll shape not just our product roadmap, but the very culture of innovation that drives our success. Working closely with market segment leaders and our technology teams, you'll ensure our solutions remain at the forefront of research technology while delivering measurable value to our diverse customer communities.

The role demands a proven product leader who has successfully guided complex global portfolios and built high-performing teams. You should bring deep expertise in human-centred design and data-driven decision-making, complemented by an ability to communicate product vision across all organisational levels. Your experience in driving organisational transformation will be essential as you establish unified product operations and foster a culture of continuous innovation.

We're particularly interested in leaders who understand the delicate balance between strategic vision and operational excellence. You'll need to navigate the complexities of the research technology landscape while ensuring our products consistently deliver value across academic, enterprise, government, and publishing sectors. Your commitment to ethical product development and inclusive leadership will be fundamental to our continued success.

Digital Science's values are more than words – they're the principles that guide our innovation and our culture. We're brave in pursuing better solutions, collaborative in our approach, and always open to new possibilities. If you're energised by the prospect of leading product innovation that advances global research in a purpose-driven organisation, we invite you to explore this further.

Digital Science is an equal opportunity employer committed to building diverse and inclusive teams.
