With 6,000+ experts worldwide, we combine engineering expertise with AI-native thinking to turn ambitious ideas into real-world impact across industries, technologies, and markets. \nAt the core of the role\nWe are looking for a Product Director to own the portfolio of our AI-native engineering services, from the portfolio map and backlog through pricing to evidence-based go/no-go proposals. You will be accountable for what we sell, how we price and package it, and what we can credibly claim about it. This is a senior role with real decision rights inside the approved budget envelope, reporting to the CTO and working closely with Commercial and delivery teams\nCore skills you’ll bring\nExperience in IT services, software engineering services, or AI-enabled delivery\n\nExperience owning a product or service line that other people sold, at a services firm or platform company, including a budget you had to defend\n\nExperience reviewing evidence packs and distinguishing inflated claims from real proof\n\nExperience making decisions independently and escalating to the CTO only what genuinely requires their input\n\nStrong verbal and written English\n\nExperience setting prices and building price lists in partnership with a commercial team, including evolving the commercial model towards retainer, subscription, and outcome-based structures\n\nExperience running a prioritized backlog with engineering input, including estimates and acceptance criteria\n\nExperience turning client feedback and delivery data into product and method improvements\n\nExperience leading and influencing at director level across product, commercial, and engineering functions\nNice-to have\n\nSpanish or Bulgarian language skills\n\nFamiliarity with stage-gate or evidence-based investment processes\n\nExperience working with security-conscious enterprise buyers\n\nWhat you own\nPortfolio: Keep one map of our AI-native portfolio. Own the backlog, roadmap, and priorities across all services and enablers, including those launching in 2027, and the shared platform.\n\nTrade-offs: Make prioritization decisions within the approved budget. When a priority changes, record what was displaced, what it cost, and the new delivery date.\n\nPricing: Own the price list with Commercial, so sales can quote without escalating. Package clear entry offers, and move pricing towards retainer, subscription, and outcome-based models.\n\nClaims: Create and maintain a register of external claims.\n\nStage gates: Recommend go or no-go at each gate, backed by an evidence pack. The CTO makes the final decision.\n\nClient feedback: Use feedback from live clients (pulse surveys, evidence packs, forward-deployed engineers) and delivery metrics to improve our methods and backlog, and make sure the measurements lead to action.\n\nWorking with others: Set product intent, acceptance criteria, and evidence standards with Delivery, the Design Authority, and the programme lead.\nDeliverables\n\nFirst 30 days: One prioritized backlog with engineer estimates and acceptance tests, and the portfolio map and roadmap consolidated in a single tracking tool.\n\nFirst 90 days: A price list that sales can quote from without escalating, a live claims register, and a client feedback loop running with live clients.\n\nBy Q1 2027: A published result from a lighthouse client with a baseline measurement, and a named receiving owner for the service within the client organization. All deliverables link explicitly to the portfolio map and to the metrics tracking our shift in portfolio mix.\n\n Outside this role\nDelivery of client engagements (owned by Delivery)\n\nTechnical design (owned by the Design Authority)\n\nRunning the programme office (owned by the programme lead)\n\nWhat supports your journey\nGuided by our values, we aim to provide you with the tools, autonomy, trust, and support you need to excel. Our benefits include private health insurance, well-being programs, flexible and hybrid work arrangements, laptops and equipment, training opportunities, social events, great offices, and more\nPeople are at the core of Avenga. We provide equal opportunities regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. We are committed to a respectful environment where everyone can be themselves, share their ideas, and feel that they belong.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4431,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Bulgarian","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"Spanish","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Custom Software Development","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T11:10:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T12:49:24Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/avenga-product-director","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/avenga-product-director.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T12:49:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26490,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":181252},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=181252"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Favenga-product-director"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Favenga-product-director"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Favenga-product-director"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/avenga-product-director\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Favenga-product-director"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4157663}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"avenga.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4157663},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
