Unit4 is a company that develops and delivers cloud-based enterprise software solutions focused on ERP, HCM, FP&A, Financial Management, and S2C. The solutions are designed to enhance productivity and collaboration within organizations, specifically tailored for people-centered and service-focused institutions like Professional Services, Public Sector, Nonprofit, and Higher Education. Unit4's platform integrates AI to optimize operations across finance, HR, and project management, aiming to improve user experience and organizational agility. Their solutions cater to roles such as CFOs, CHROs, and CIOs, providing them with the tools to drive strategic outcomes, performance, and adaptability within their organizations.

📋 Description

• Own the Public Sector product vision, strategy, and multi-horizon roadmap; align it with Unit4's platform strategy and commercial growth targets. • Lead a prioritized product backlog with dedicated engineering capacity - defining outcomes, success metrics, release plans, and quality criteria. • Own feature outcomes, not just delivery — define clear adoption, usage, and customer impact goals for every capability you champion, and track performance against them after launch. • Serve as the internal authority on the Public Sector vertical, providing product, marketing, analyst relations, and pre-sales teams with the industry grounding they need to position, demonstrate, and sell effectively. • Translate deep sector knowledge into specific, investment-backed product requirements: problem statements, opportunity sizing, and build-vs-partner decisions. • Define industry-specific solution blueprints, reference configurations, and pre-built templates that reduce implementation time for public sector customers. • Work closely with horizontal product teams to ensure public sector requirements are reflected in platform investment across finance, HR, procurement, and operations. • Partner with the Industry Growth Director on launch readiness, pricing, packaging, and field enablement. • Engage directly with strategic customers and the Public Sector Industry Board to validate roadmap direction, co-innovate, and capture outcome evidence. • Ensure regulatory, security, accessibility, and localisation requirements across our supported geographies are systematically reflected in the roadmap. • Monitor the competitive landscape - know what Civica, Visma, Centric, CGI, and others are shipping and what it means for Unit4's positioning. • Work with partners to extend the value proposition for public sector customers.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven product management experience building enterprise software - ERP or enterprise SaaS - for public sector organizations, particularly municipalities, local authorities, or specialist agencies. • You have shipped products used by public sector finance and operations teams, not just consulted for them. • Deep knowledge of public finance management, public sector accounting, and government budgeting practices. • Solid understanding of public procurement frameworks and how they translate into practical ERP requirements - from approval workflows and audit trails to supplier management and contract compliance. • Understanding of the security, data residency, and audit expectations of government buyers and what that means for cloud ERP product decisions. • A clear point of view on how AI can responsibly empower public sector organizations - balancing real opportunity for efficiency and insight with the accountability, transparency, and security obligations these organizations carry. • Commercial orientation: you understand how product decisions drive ARR, win rate, and customer retention. • Strong communication skills at Head of Finance, Head of ICT, and senior public service leadership level. • Qualifications Experience in product management for enterprise SaaS platforms. • Deep understanding of professional services business models, including project-based delivery, utilization, billing, scheduling and compliance. • Strong ability to influence without authority and work cross-functionally in a matrixed environment. • Proven ability to translate complex industry needs into scalable product solutions. • Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder engagement skills.
