Growth naturally sits at the centre of everything we do at Hg. 

Our Growth Team views the often-disconnected disciplines of Marketing, Sales, Pricing, Customer Success and beyond as all parts of a single impulse. You can’t grow without taking them all into account. The team supports the aspirations of Hg’s portfolio by applying this approach with a long-term lens at every level – from strategy to projects - with experts and practitioners providing hands-on and collaborative support to share knowledge and realise value creation initiatives.

Product Management and Engineering combined are the engine room in modern technology companies.

Hg's Product Leaders support their portfolio counterparts in driving robust customer and market driven analysis of what their products need to do and why. We understand these needs, and support our portfolio colleagues in designing and deploying the most appropriate technology solutions. Collectively they are accountable for maximising the commercial opportunity, delighting the customer and creating awesome software.

Protecting Hg’s investments is crucial in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals and other malicious actors.
