Product Leadership Recruitment UK
Senior Product Manager to Chief Product Officer, hired for how they lead, not just what they have shipped.
Grow Talent UK recruits senior product leaders for UK scaleups, mid-sized companies and PE-backed businesses.
We assess how a leader sets strategy, works with engineering and commercial teams and makes calls with incomplete data before we assess their domain. A strong shipping record is the entry ticket, not the differentiator.
Typical brief: a first CPO for a Series B business, a Head of Product to take the roadmap off the founder's desk, or a Group Product Manager to scale a growing team.
Culture first. Attitude second. Skill third.
