About the role

Original posting from Omnea via Ashby

OUR MISSION:

Omnea is the agentic operating system for procurement.

Procurement touches every pound a business spends, yet requests still stall for weeks and approvals get lost in inboxes. Our AI-first platform changes that: our agents capture requests, route approvals, onboard suppliers, flag risk and track every renewal, while anyone in the business can ask a question and get an answer grounded in their own company’s data. Buying becomes painless for everyone, procurement gets a seat at the table, and our customers have saved more than 100,000 hours of manual work so far.

Companies like Spotify, PayPal, T. Rowe Price, JustEat, Adyen and S&P Global run procurement on Omnea. We’re backed by $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners and Accel, and we’ve been named the UK’s number one startup in the Startups 100, ranked 11th on Sifted’s 2026 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and recognised as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies.

Talent density matters more to us than almost anything else. We keep the bar high in every team, so everyone here has real ownership and real impact. Our team is full of former founders and operators who’ve scaled unicorns, and we’re looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers alongside them.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Product Director to lead product across a major surface area of the Omnea platform. In this role, you’ll set strategy, grow and manage a team of PMs, and ensure we’re building the right things - with speed, clarity, and customer obsession.

This is a leadership role that blends product vision, organizational scaling, and hands-on execution. You’ll report into the VP of Product and work closely with design, engineering, and go-to-market leaders to scale Omnea at pace.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Own product strategy and execution across one or more core product areas.
  • Hire, coach, and grow a team of high-performing product managers.
  • Drive product planning, decision-making, and communication across functions and leadership.
  • Ensure we are learning fast and shipping thoughtfully - balancing speed with rigour.
  • Partner with go-to-market to support onboarding, growth, and customer feedback loops.
  • Help define and evolve Omnea’s product development culture as we scale - including rituals, values, and operating principles.

ABOUT YOU

  • 9+ years of product management experience, including 3+ years managing PMs.
  • Strong product strategy chops - you can define vision, sequence bets, and zoom into detail.
  • Track record of building and scaling product teams in high-growth or startup environments.
  • You lead with context, not control - and you coach PMs to think independently and execute well.
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to align stakeholders and drive clear decisions.
  • You care deeply about product quality and have a nose for what great looks like.
