Digital Shelf Product Leader

About the Position

Digital Shelf Product Leader

We are seeking a visionary Digital Shelf Product Leader to drive the strategy and success of our e-commerce analytics solution, leveraging AI and data insights. This role is full-time and offers a competitive salary range of GBP 86,100 - GBP 96,000 per year.

Responsibilities

• Product Vision and Strategy

  • Own and evolve the multi-year vision for NIQ Digital Shelf as the connected intelligence layer for e-commerce performance.
  • Define where the product plays and how it wins, including its response to AI-driven and agentic discovery, informed by a deep understanding of the market and competitive landscape.
  • Champion the integration of NIQ's broader data assets and an open partner ecosystem to deliver insight and actionability that stand apart in the market.

• Roadmap Ownership and Delivery

  • Own the global product roadmap end to end: discovery, prioritization, business cases, delivery, and post-launch measurement.
  • Balance investment across client needs, differentiating innovation, and platform health, and make explicit, well-communicated trade-offs.
  • Deliver a steady cadence of high-quality releases in partnership with Engineering, Data Science, and Quality, and shape packaging and pricing recommendations with Commercial and Finance.

• Commercial Impact

  • Own product outcomes: revenue growth, retention, adoption, and client satisfaction. Define and track the KPIs that demonstrate the product's commercial impact.
  • Partner with Commercial, Customer Success, and Product Marketing on positioning, sales enablement, and launch plans, and translate client feedback and win/loss learnings into roadmap priorities.
  • Engage directly with global CPG clients and prospects, including executive sponsors and strategic RFPs, to understand needs, validate direction, and support deals.

• Team and Stakeholder Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and grow a global team of Product Owners and UX designers; set clear goals, raise the bar on product craft, and build succession depth.
  • Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and outcome-oriented culture across product, engineering, quality, support, and client-facing teams.
  • Serve as the voice of the product to NIQ senior leadership and across NIQ's e-commerce portfolio: report on progress, KPIs, risks, and investment needs with clarity and candor, and align global strategy with regional commercial priorities.

Requirements

Required

• 8+ years of progressive experience in product management, e-commerce, or digital commerce, including ownership of strategy and delivery for a data or analytics product.
• Deep domain expertise in digital shelf and e-commerce analytics: availability, search and visibility, content, pricing and promotion, ratings and reviews, marketplace dynamics, and retail media.
• Significant exposure to CPG or consumer goods manufacturers, with a working understanding of how e-commerce, sales, insights, marketing, and category teams operate and make decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to translate market and client needs into a prioritized roadmap and business case, and to ship complex products with cross-functional engineering, data science, and design teams.
• Strong commercial acumen: comfortable with revenue targets, pricing and packaging, and executive client conversations.
• Fluency in modern AI and data concepts and the judgment to apply them where they create client value.
• Exceptional communication and influencing skills across a global, matrixed organization; comfortable leading a distributed, international team.

Leadership Experience

We strongly prefer candidates who have managed and developed a team of product managers. We will also consider exceptional candidates who bring the same outcomes through a different route: commercial or customer success leaders in e-commerce analytics who have owned the definition and launch of products, not only sold them; engineering or data leaders who have owned product outcomes and demonstrated strong commercial judgment; or leaders who have run digital shelf or e-commerce performance inside a CPG manufacturer or retailer and understand, from the buyer's seat, what a great product must do.

Preferred

• Hands-on experience shipping AI-powered or LLM-based product features.
• Familiarity with market research, panel, or syndicated sales data and with retail media platforms.

We Offer

• Competitive Salary: Anticipated base compensation range of £86,000 – £96,000 basic salary.
• Performance-Based Bonus
• Flexible Working Environment
• Volunteer Time Off
• LinkedIn Learning
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Comprehensive Health Insurance
• Industry-Leading Parental Leave
• Life Insurance
• Education Support
