About the role

  • Head of Product Delivery managing end-to-end product delivery across Product, Engineering, Design, Data & AI at Automata. Enabling accelerative workflows and high-quality execution in lab automation.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end delivery across Product, Engineering, Design, Data & AI (PEDDAI) - turning strategy into fast, predictable, high-quality execution
  • Operate as the single point of accountability for delivery - bringing clarity, pace, and discipline across an otherwise complex system
  • Partner with PEDDAI, Customer Success, and Sales leadership to align releases with commercial impact and timelines
  • Build, lead, and level-up a high-performing product delivery function that reports to you - hiring, coaching, and setting an uncompromising bar for execution
  • Architect and continuously evolve operating systems that scale - eliminating bottlenecks, increasing velocity, and enabling teams to move autonomously
  • Drive a true continuous delivery model - frequent, reliable releases with strong communication and measurable impact
  • Embed AI-native and automation-first ways of working - unlocking step-change improvements in productivity and throughput
  • Bridge strategy and execution - ensuring we build what we defined; that what we build, ships; and what we ship, delivers results

Requirements

  • 13–18 years of experience across product delivery, programme leadership, or operational roles in high-performance environments
  • Strong understanding of how Product, Engineering, Design, Data & AI functions operate—and how to align them at pace
  • Experience operating in environments that demand both speed and quality (scale-ups, top-tier tech, or product driven enterprise transformation)
  • Deep working knowledge of Agile, Lean, Waterfall, and hybrid models—with the pragmatism to apply what works, not what’s “pure”, “trendy”, or “new”
  • Proven experience driving automation, AI-native ways of working, or meaningful step-changes in delivery performance
  • Background in Engineering, Product, or similarly rigorous problem-solving environments preferred
