The Chief Product Officer (CPO) is to the business’s product what the Chief
Technology Officer is to its technology, or what the Chief Sales Officer is to its
Sales. Relentless in their pursuit of perfection and success they must lead
from the front and guide the Product Management team and the company in
the delivery of excellent customer products and experiences. The CPO must
be a visionary and an avid evangelist of the product using their product
management, industry and technology experience to drive our success. As a
member of the leadership team the CPO’s span of influence crosses the
whole organisation and working in tandem with their peers they are
responsible for ensuring a common vision, drive and motivation permeates the
whole company.
Our CPO must have broad and varied experience both
within the industry and within the discipline of Product Management. They will
need to be able to demonstrate a rich blend of analytical, creative, and
strategic talents in order to win the confidence of TradeIX staff and customers.
