Product Lead - (Contract) at Softwire, London Area, £600-£650 per day

Product Lead - Outside IR35 - 3 months initially

Softwire are looking for a Senior Product Lead to take true ownership of a fast-moving, customer-facing mobile app — not someone who waits for direction, but someone who drives the vision.

This is a high-visibility role. You'll navigate real process and stakeholder complexity while building an MVP that grows iteratively through Agile delivery.

What you'll do:

• Own the product vision and translate stakeholder requirements and feedback into clear, actionable direction for the team
• Confidently engage senior stakeholders — and get them genuinely excited about what you're building
• Use prototyping to communicate a compelling product vision, not just describe it
• Bring energy and momentum to a fast-paced environment where speed matters
• Champion strong product and design thinking at every stage

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience as a senior product lead, ideally with a design-led approach
• A track record of driving vision — not just executing requirements
• Confidence and credibility with senior stakeholders
• Comfort with prototyping as a communication and decision-making tool
• Experience delivering MVPs and iterating through Agile methodology
• High energy, resilience, and comfort with pace and ambiguity

£600 - £650 per day, outside IR35

Mid-July start running initially for 3 months
