Head of Product

About Unmind
Unmind is a workplace mental health platform. We empower employees to live more fulfilling and balanced lives by changing the way organisations around the world think about mental health. We believe that everyone has the right to a healthy mind – because we all have mental health, all of the time – and we’re striving to create a world where mental health is universally understood, nurtured, and celebrated.

In the past 18 months, Unmind has grown from a 30 person team to a fast-growing, 150 person global organisation with offices in London, Sydney, and New York. With the recent announcement of our Series B funding, we’re looking forward to our next stage of growth which will enable us to deliver on our mission to improve the mental wellbeing of ten million people in organisations around the world.

We have ambitious plans to change the perception of mental health and we still need help in achieving them– which is why we’re looking for an exceptional individual to join as a Head of Product.

The Role – Head of Product

The last year has been a transformative period for the topic of mental health. We’ve all gone on our own wellbeing journeys – for many, it has been a time of grief, loneliness, and anxiety while for others, it has been an opportunity for reflection and growth. If there is a silver lining from the last year it’s that the appreciation, education, and investment in mental health and wellbeing has been accelerated.

As a company, we have always believed that the positioning, narrative, and imagery around mental health is misrepresented. If we are going to truly break the stigma and make a lasting impact in the workplace and across broader society we need to create an experience that repositions mental health as something we all nurture on a daily basis.

We have spent the last 5 years creating the Unmind experience as a small UK startup. We are now ready to take that to the next level, making it best in class, a truly market-leading B2B experience with a B2C calibre. This is where you come in, we are looking for someone who understands the power of digital products in transforming people’s habits and who is energised to change the relationship people have, around the world, with the topic of mental health.

As the Head of Product, you will be responsible for leading an initial team of 7+ product managers and growing it to 15+ over the course of 2022, including leadership roles within the team.

You will demonstrate the product culture at Unmind through:

  • Championing the value of a user-centred approach to unearth their needs and systematically evolve our product to achieve a future where everyone is able to understand and nurture their mental health on a daily basis
  • Embracing the uniqueness of the human race and champion accessibility for all
  • Promoting a learning mindset and not only be constantly ensuring Unmind is at the forefront of the latest product development thinking, but also constantly learning about its users & customers through continuous discovery and delivery
  • Cultivating an environment of diversity, transparency and trust, where your team can feel empowered to share ideas, be challenged, and fulfil their potential

Skills and Experience
We firmly believe that no one is the finished article and that there should be learning in every role you do. However, some experience in the following is important for the role.

We’re looking for someone who has:

  • A successful track record as a Product Leader in a fast-growth company, leading product managers, who work in cross-functional empowered product teams
  • A demonstrable talent for creating consumer-grade digital B2C experiences
  • A customer-centric mindset, that is able to connect the dots between vision, strategy and business outcomes to customer success
  • Experience recruiting, mentoring, coaching and managing top industry talent
  • Comfortable working in an environment of rapid growth, constant change, and lots of unknowns
