The impact you'll have:
Reporting to the CPO, you will build and own a capability that loveholidays has never had before: a dedicated function that connects market intelligence to proposition development, and proposition development to commercial outcomes.
This is a new role. You will define what the loveholidays proposition should look like over a three to five year horizon: what we sell, to whom and in which markets. You will own the process of getting new propositions to market, from first validation through to launch. And you will maintain the competitive edge of our existing proposition as we scale across Europe.
You will work at the intersection of commercial strategy, customer insight and platform delivery. Your ability to translate market understanding into clear requirements for product and engineering teams, and to drive cross-functional momentum behind launches, will be central to our growth.
Your day-to-day:
Product proposition pipeline
Translate company strategy, our vision and competitive intelligence into clear proposition expansion opportunities
Build a deep understanding of different customer segments: their needs, motivations and the perceived and real value of our proposition to them, getting hands on with research and experiencing the product to create deep empathy and knowledge and share that broadly across the business.
Track competitor business model and proposition shifts alongside broader market trends, and bring that intelligence into the business in a way that influences decisions
Build business cases for new products and segments; drive initial validation with user research, platform teams and commercial leads; champion them with the relevant exec and commercial leaders
Define what the loveholidays proposition should look like over a three to five year horizon and translate that vision into clear proposition and experience requirements for platform and commercial teams
Go-to-market
Own go-to-market for new products and segments, coordinating across commercial and platform teams to ensure everything is in place for launch
Define the value position and segmentation approach for each launch
Own the assessment of initial launch performance and drive the iterations required to hit product-market fit, before handing over to our core and international operating teams to trade independently
Your skillset:
You have significant experience in product marketing, proposition development or a closely related discipline, ideally within a consumer-facing digital business.
You are a strong strategic thinker: you can break down complex market dynamics and translate them into a clear, well-reasoned point of view that earns buy-in across the organisation.
You understand customers at a level that goes beyond research decks. You know how to build real insight and how to apply it to proposition decisions.
You are an exceptional communicator, written and verbal. You can make a complex argument simple and a simple argument compelling.
You know how to work in a matrixed organisation. You lead through influence and build momentum behind things you don't directly control.
You have a data-driven mindset. You bring evidence to your thinking and your strategies
You are hands-on. You can move between setting direction and doing the work, depending on what the moment requires.
Perks of joining us:
Company pension contributions at 5%.
Individualised training budget for you to learn on the job and level yourself up.
Discounted holidays for you, your family and friends.
25 days of holidays per annum (plus 8 public holidays) increases by 1 day for every second year of service, up to a maximum 30 days per annum.
Ability to buy and sell annual leave.
Cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan and eye care vouchers.
