Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
In the SaaS ecosystem, divisional “glue” roles like this sit at the intersection of product delivery, internal platforms, and business priorities—work that becomes more critical as a company operates at enterprise scale. The remit described here—intake, prioritisation, governance, and performance tracking—maps closely to how mature SaaS organisations keep portfolios aligned when multiple functions compete for technology and operational capacity.
For a long-term SaaS career, this position builds fluency in the operating mechanics that underpin recurring-revenue businesses: translating strategic objectives into roadmaps, shaping business cases, and measuring outcomes through metrics rather than one-off project completion. Experience spanning vendor evaluation, RFI/RFP processes, and enterprise enablement also travels well across SaaS companies that rely on ecosystems of tools and partners to deliver at scale.
This role tends to suit professionals who like navigating ambiguity, influencing without direct authority, and working across IT and business stakeholders. It is a strong match for someone who prefers structured decision-making—portfolio trade-offs, escalation paths, and governance forums—over narrow functional ownership, and who wants to be close to how priorities get set and executed in a complex SaaS environment.
