Director - Product Management

We are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead international expansion across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for the company’s flagship property management platform, supporting the complex operational needs of leading property management organizations.

This platform sits at the center of day-to-day property operations for commercial and residential real estate customers. It supports critical workflows across property administration, lease and tenant management, service delivery, portfolio operations, compliance, reporting, and stakeholder engagement. Its strong accounting and finance capabilities are a major differentiator, enabling customers to manage the financial complexity of real estate operations, including billing, recoveries, financial reporting, controls, auditability, and investment-related processes.

The Director will be responsible for defining and executing the product strategy required to expand this platform across EMEA markets. The role requires balancing global platform consistency with country-specific requirements, including local property management practices, regulatory obligations, financial workflows, reporting expectations, and market-specific operating models.

This is a highly visible leadership role that requires direct engagement with executive leadership, strategic customers, regional market stakeholders, and cross-functional teams. The successful candidate will combine product leadership, international market strategy, fluency in property management operations and finance, customer discovery, and executive communication to accelerate EMEA growth.

We understand the need to provide a flexible working environment partnered with team collaboration and socialisation. Therefore, we operate a hybrid working model with 3 days of working from home per week. This role is based in the London office.
