Product Innovation Director

Your Career

As Product Innovation Director at MHR, you’ll provide visionary leadership, strategic direction, and commercial oversight to drive innovation, customer value, and operational excellence across our cloud-based and AI-enabled product portfolio. You’ll own the full innovation lifecycle from ideation and concept validation to market launch ensuring our products not only meet but anticipate market demand. Acting as the bridge between Product Management, Sales, and Marketing, you’ll translate complex technology capabilities into clear, customer-focused value propositions that fuel growth across key sectors.

With a proven background in SaaS, HCM, or Finance technology leadership, you’ll combine strategic vision, analytical insight, and data-driven decision-making to deliver measurable business outcomes and shape the future of MHR’s product strategy.

You’ll lead a talented, cross-functional team of innovators, product strategists, and technologists who are passionate about creating market-leading solutions that deliver real customer impact. The role sits within the Marketing function, although you will be collaborating closely with sales and the wider business where you’ll foster a culture of accountability, creativity, and continuous improvement where ideas thrive, people grow, and innovation drives performance.

As a confident and visible leader, you’ll also serve as a key spokesperson for product innovation, representing MHR’s vision both internally and externally while inspiring your team to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible.

Your leadership will be instrumental in positioning MHR at the forefront of product innovation, directly driving growth, market differentiation, and customer success. By embedding AI, automation, and cutting-edge technologies into our product roadmap, you’ll enhance customer experience, scalability, and long-term value. Your strategic and commercial influence will deliver measurable results from revenue and margin growth to improved customer satisfaction and retention while strengthening MHR’s reputation as an industry leader in innovation and excellence.
