Job Description :

Product Director, Havas Creative Network & Havas Lynx

Product Director, Havas Creative Network & Havas Lynx

This role is working across both Havas Creative and Havas Health networks, so somebody whos had a foot in both camps before would be wonderful for us.

Who We Are

Havas Creative and Havas Lynx (part of the Health Network) bring together creativity, intelligence, strategy, data and technology to help brands build desire and drive growth and positive impact.

Havas Creative Network operates at the intersection of creativity, data, culture and technology, built around our Village model and united by a single ambition: growth, powered by desire. Our global network spans 23,000+ people across 72 Villages, with an operating model that connects intelligence, creativity and technology.

Havas Lynx is a leading healthcare communications agency with a full-service global offering and almost 500 multidisciplinary specialists. For 40 years, we’ve brought together fresh perspectives, creative thinking and a progressive approach to partner with our clients, healthcare professionals and patients in finding solutions for the modern-day healthcare landscape.

This role sits across both networks, helping us build the next generation of AI-powered intelligence products, tools and capabilities for Creative and Health.

The role

We are looking for a Product Director to lead the development and evolution of a portfolio of AI-powered intelligence products and tools across Havas Creative Network and Havas

Lynx.

This is a highly autonomous, entrepreneurial role for someone who knows how to take an idea from opportunity and product vision through discovery, prototyping, build, testing and readiness for launch.

You will own the product development roadmap across both networks, identify what we should build next, and manage products through different stages of development and maturity.

You will work closely with senior Intelligence, Strategy and Innovation leadership across Havas Creative Network and Havas Health Network, alongside agentic engineers, product designers, strategists and subject-matter experts to bring products to life.

Our products sit at the intersection of strategic thinking, proprietary intelligence, AI and technology.

You will own the product development workstream end-to-end, from identifying user needs and defining the opportunity through to product requirements, rapid prototyping, development, testing and iteration. You will also support proposition development and commercialisation, helping turn strong ideas and IP into scalable products that create value for our teams and clients.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a product-minded, entrepreneurial leader who can operate with significant autonomy and bring structure, pace and ambition to a growing portfolio of AI-powered products.

You will bring:

  • Strong experience in product management or product development, ideally within technology, AI, digital or innovation-led businesses
  • A track record of taking products from idea and opportunity through discovery, prototyping, development, testing and launch
  • The ability to rapidly prototype product concepts and user experiences, using tools such as Figma/Figma AI or equivalent
  • Strong commercial and strategic thinking, with the ability to identify where proprietary thinking, intelligence or technology can become a valuable product
  • Experience owning product roadmaps, prioritisation, requirements and delivery plans
  • Excellent project management skills, with the ability to build and own clear timelines, manage dependencies and keep multidisciplinary teams moving
  • Strong understanding of AI-powered products, agentic technologies and emerging technologies, without needing to be a technical engineer
  • The ability to translate complex strategic, scientific or technical thinking into clear product requirements, user needs and development priorities
  • A strong understanding of user experience and intuitive product design
  • Strong collaboration skills, with experience working across product, design, engineering, strategy and specialist teams
  • An understanding of, or genuine interest in, the creative, communications and health environments, and how products can support strategists, creatives, specialists, clients and new business
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset, with the confidence to identify opportunities, make decisions and move things forward without constant direction
  • The ability to balance long-term product vision with the practical detail required to get products built and working
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work with senior leadership and teams across global markets
  • Genuine curiosity about strategy, intelligence, creativity, health, AI and technology, and how they can come together to create new ways of working

Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Roadmap

  • Own the product roadmap across the portfolio of AI-powered intelligence products and tools spanning Havas Creative Network and Havas Lynx
  • Work with senior Intelligence, Strategy and Innovation leadership across both networks to shape product vision, priorities and future opportunities
  • Identify opportunities to turn proprietary intelligence, strategic thinking, specialist expertise and emerging technology into scalable products and tools
  • Assess and prioritise opportunities with support from the wider teams
  • Develop and maintain clear product plans, milestones and development timelines
  • Balance shared product opportunities across the two networks with specific Creative or Health use cases where appropriate

Product Discovery, Prototyping & UX/UI

  • Rapidly prototype product concepts, wireframes and user journeys using tools such as Figma/Figma AI to demonstrate how products should function, look and feel before significant technical development begins
  • Lead product discovery, including workshops, user research and design sprints, to identify genuine user needs, interrogate ideas and validate concepts early
  • Turn discovery into clear user journeys, product requirements and MVP definitions
  • Champion strong UX and UI principles, including accessibility, ensuring products are intuitive, useful and engaging rather than simply technically sophisticated
  • Test prototypes with users across Creative, Health, markets and relevant client teams, translating feedback into tangible product improvements
  • Bridge product vision, design and engineering, ensuring the intent and user experience of the product is maintained through technical development

Product Development & Delivery

  • Own the product development journey from validated opportunity and requirements through build, testing, launch and iteration
  • Develop clear product requirements and briefs in partnership with strategists, subject-matter experts, designers and engineers
  • Work closely with AI/agentic engineers and product designers to translate requirements and prototypes into effective working products
  • Define MVP scope and make clear prioritisation decisions around what is needed now, next and later
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage dependencies and ensure products progress against agreed timelines
  • Lead product testing with strategists, specialist teams, markets and clients, gathering feedback and translating it into improvements
  • Inherit and improve existing products at different stages of maturity, ensuring they continue to evolve around user needs and opportunities
  • Bring structure, pace and accountability to the product development workstream

Product Proposition & Commercialisation

  • Work with Intelligence, Strategy and Innovation leadership across both networks to shape product propositions and packaging
  • Support the development of commercial models, propositions and go-to-market approaches
  • Identify opportunities to extend products across clients, markets, agencies and network applications
  • Help define the value proposition and use cases for different audiences, from internal teams to global clients
  • Work with community, learning and capacity-building teams to support roll-out, adoption and scale across both networks
  • Help establish feedback loops between adoption, client demand and the future product roadmap

Innovation & Future Products

  • Stay close to developments in AI, agentic technology, product innovation and emerging user behaviours to identify opportunities for both networks
  • Bring an entrepreneurial mindset to identifying what we should build next, for whom and why
  • Help turn early ideas into testable propositions and prototypes before committing significant development resource
  • Establish a culture of experimentation, rapid prototyping, testing and continuous product improvement
  • Contribute to the evolution of product development capability across Havas Creative Network and Havas Health Network

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
