The role
You’ll be the product voice within the team: owning and evolving our ‘Connection Centre’, a Hivebrite-powered platform designed to provide a hub for all Boardwave connections and insights, and which serves as a directory for our 2,000+ members. You will work closely with our members, partners, our fractional CTO, and tech collaborators including Hivebrite and The Tech Dept.
You’ll combine structured product management with curiosity, creativity, and a user-first mindset. You’ll shape our roadmap, capture feedback and ideas, run testing and pilots, and make sure what we build delivers value and is loved by the community.
