Full‑time

Meet Unit4 . With over 40 years of heritage, we’re an agile, fast growing, Cloud company that is on a mission to redefine Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for mid‑market people‑centric organisations.

With our innovative, self‑driving, adaptive and intuitive software, our customers can spend more time on meaningful high‑value work.

At the heart of what we do lies a simple yet profound purpose:
Improve how people work by focusing on what truly matters.— A powerful statement that enables different priorities for different people.

We’re shaping how work should feel, and we empower our people by providing them with the right tools to achieve the autonomy they need - it's what makes us unique.

We are seeking a mission‑driven and strategic Director of Industry Product Management to lead the development of ERP capabilities tailored to the unique needs of the public sector, nonprofit organisations, and higher education institutions. This role is ideal for a product leader who combines industry insight with hands‑on product management skills, and who is passionate about building solutions that help mission‑focused organisations operate more efficiently and effectively.

You will work closely with horizontal product managers (e.g., Financials, HR, Procurement etc) to ensure our platform delivers end‑to‑end support for the operational, compliance, and funding models specific to these sectors.

You will research, drive requirements, oversee design and drive launch for industry specific solutions. You will bring new products to market to drive further cross‑sell into the existing customer base and champion the development of new capabilities that will increase win rate and customer satisfaction with our core offerings. You will drive thought leadership in what the next generation of automation solutions can bring to the professional services space to help our clients compete and win.

We're looking for a transformational leader who leads with authenticity, embraces constructive conflict, and consistently delivers sustainable value. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in collaboration, always putting the customer experience at the centre of decision‑making. You are not only committed to driving and delivering on change, but you also hold yourself and others accountable to the highest standards. Most importantly, you know how to cultivate an environment where people feel empowered to succeed and grow.

If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and help shape our future, we’d love to hear from you.
