Head of Product, Connected ExperienceAbout Safeguard GlobalWe enable global expansion without the risk. Safeguard Global has been at the forefront of global workforce enablement since we pioneered centralised global payments in 2008 and launched the employer of record (EOR) category globally in 2010. And we haven't stopped there. Today, with our 500+ in-country HR experts, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive solutions, we've helped over 2,000 organisations hire, recruit, pay, and manage employees in 170+ countries. Because we created this category, we've learned that successful general expansion isn't driven by technology alone. It requires deep global expertise. We call this the marriage of expert and technology, human when it matters. This means we have the people and the technology to ensure 100% compliance with local, regional, national, and international laws. Together, this ethos and our solutions portfolio allow businesses to scale up or down wherever, however, and whenever they want to expand, without the risk.
Overview of the roleWe're looking for a Head of Product, Connected Experience to own the experiences shared across every application: things like home, user access, and knowledge, together with the integrations that connect us to the outside world. What makes them shared is that every application touches or relies on them. The role is accountable for the experience, delivery, and outcome achievement across those shared surfaces, and for the standard other product teams build to wherever their work touches them, even though most of those teams sit outside your direct reporting line. You'll translate that target experience,
combined with the product strategies set by the Directors of Product into a prioritised order of work; leading the product managers who deliver it and ensuring we deliver on business and customer experience objectives. Several of our biggest growth opportunities for 2027 sit in this area.
