Requirements
• You have a track record of owning complex, multi-surface product areas and making them better - not just by executing well but by bringing a point of view that others rally around. • You've shipped creative tooling, editor-type products, or closely adjacent productivity tools and you understand the UX and technical complexity that comes with that territory. You don't need to have come from video, but you need to be able to earn the respect of people who have. • You've managed PMs before and know the difference between good coaching and just staying involved. You create leverage through people, not despite them. • You're technical enough to know how engage with engineering counterparts, you know when to push back, and you know when to defer - and you're honest about the edges of your own knowledge rather than papering over them. • You've operated in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and your instinct is to frame the problem and drive a decision, not wait for a cleaner brief. • 8+ years in product, with meaningful time at group or lead level managing other PMs • Experience shipping and owning creative tooling, editor products, or high-craft productivity tools • Demonstrated ability to operate as a player-coach - strategic ownership and hands-on execution, not one or the other • Strong cross-functional instincts; able to partner effectively with design and engineering without crowding either out • Comfortable at the intersection of consumer-grade craft and enterprise-grade requirements • Based in London or able to travel regularly - we're flexible on location but this team benefits from in-person time • At Synthesia we’re passionate about building, not talking, planning or politicising. We strive to hire the smartest, kindest and most unrelenting people and let them do their best work without distractions. Our work principles serve as our charter for how we make decisions, give feedback and structure our work to empower everyone to go as fast as possible.

Responsibilities
• Helping shape the product strategy and roadmap for the Creator bet alongside other Product and cross-functional leaders. This includes our editor, avatars, voice, and generative experiences. • Coaching and developing a team of PMs; creating leverage through clarity, good process, and raising the bar on how the team works. • Partnering closely with a strong design and engineering team who have deep domain expertise - earning their trust and adding genuine strategic value, not just coordinating. • Driving prioritisation decisions that balance user needs, commercial outcomes, and technical constraints across a fast-moving product area. • Hiring the next PMs for Creator: owning the brief, running the process, and calibrating well. • Communicating product direction clearly to leadership and across the organisation, and creating the kind of clarity that lets the team move fast without constant escalation. • Acting as the hands-on PM for any gaps we have until a dedicated hire is in place, maintaining momentum and quality on one of our most technically complex surfaces.
Benefits
• You will be compensated well with a generous salary and equity. • You get 25 days of annual leave + local holidays. • Regular team offsites where you’ll get to collaborate with the product & engineering team in person. • Work from home budget • Work from anywhere policy of 60 days per year • Generous referral scheme • Enhanced parental leave - maternity leave includes 16 weeks at full pay, and paternity leave includes 5 weeks at full pay (if your country’s government scheme offers more generous support, you receive whichever is greater—our enhanced policy or the local statutory benefit) • Private healthcare via AXA for you with a discount for dependants • 5% pension match • Team lunches Tuesday-Friday in the office • Flexible, hybrid role based from our London office.
