About the Role:
The Group Vice President, Product Management is a senior executive leader charged with building and elevating Wiley’s product management capability for the Research and Publishing Solutions business. This is an entrepreneurial executive who will architect the product organization, establish the operating model, and set a bold, AI-first product strategy that drives differentiation in a rapidly evolving scholarly publishing and research services market Consistent with Wiley’s evolving operating model for AI and platform businesses, this leader will be a technically fluent product executive who champions AI-first thinking across the portfolio, embeds AI solutions and AI product management practices into how the team works, and partners closely with technology to shape how product and engineering collaborate in an AI-native software delivery environment, aligning team topology, delivery rhythm, and technical choices with product strategy and resourcing decisions.
This leader will drive a use case–oriented, iterative approach to product development — anchoring roadmaps in concrete customer and business use cases and evolving solutions rapidly through short, evidence-based cycles rather than long, speculative build phases.
Reporting directly to the Executive Vice President and General Manager of Research, this leader will establish structure, rhythm, and rigor where new foundations are needed — and accelerate what is already working. With two VP-level direct reports, they will build a cohesive product leadership team and create the conditions for world-class product execution at scale.
This role is specifically scoped as a builder opportunity. The incoming leader will be expected to:
Define the product management operating model: how teams are structured, how roadmaps are built and governed, how product decisions are made and communicated.
Establish cross-functional partnership norms with technology, editorial, sales, marketing, and finance that did not previously exist or need to be reset.
Drive Go-To-Market / Commercial enablement across Wiley’s Research and Publishing Solutions
Partner with technology leadership to evolve the product–engineering operating model for an AI-era SDLC: how squads are scoped around bounded contexts, how team APIs are defined, and drive agent-assisted development change capacity planning and resource allocation.
Introduce disciplined product frameworks — customer discovery, outcome-based roadmapping, portfolio investment logic — and create the cultural conditions for them to take root.
Instill AI-first thinking as a default mode of product management: identify and prioritize AI solutions against concrete customer and business use cases, and drive use case–oriented, iterative development so the team ships and learns in short cycles rather than committing to long speculative builds.
Develop the VP-level product leaders into a unified leadership team with shared standards, language, and accountability.
Earn a seat at the executive table quickly by delivering early wins while building for long-term product capability and market differentiation.
