Worth a shot.

This is a strong next step — Arden Relay offers the director-level mandate and B2B SaaS context that moves your profile decisively forward. The sector shift is manageable given your transferable strengths; the upside is a title and scope jump that would otherwise take another 2–3 years.

Career trajectory
step up
This role jumps your title and scope in one move — from individual contributor to director with team leadership and budget ownership. The B2B SaaS context adds a credential that broadens your market value, and at Arden Relay's growth stage you'll own outcomes, not just delivery. VP Product from here is a straight line.
Hiring-manager view
What they notice first
The consumer-to-B2B sector shift is the first thing they'll flag — expect a dedicated screen question on whether you understand enterprise sales cycles and IT procurement.
Your delivery pace looks fast relative to what B2B SaaS typically requires — that will read as a positive to some reviewers and a risk to others.
Lack of experience with multi-stakeholder roadmaps (buyer, user, and IT all with different needs) is a gap they'll probe given how central it is to this role.
Questions to prepare
"Tell me about a time you've managed a product with a long sales cycle. How did that change how you prioritised?"
"Arden Relay's product serves operations leads, not end users — how do you research user needs when the buyer and the user are different people?"
"You're coming from consumer. What specifically draws you to B2B SaaS now, and why not stay in consumer?"
Between the lines

B2B SaaS product hiring at this revenue level is about product-market fit maintenance, not growth hacking. Arden Relay will want someone who can own a complex roadmap with multiple stakeholder groups and defend prioritisation decisions to enterprise clients.

Strong
8/10

How exposed is this specific role to AI & automation over the next 24 months?
StableShiftingReshaping

B2B workflow automation product roles require strategic judgment and enterprise relationship management that aren't automatable in the near term. AI will accelerate discovery and competitive analysis but the core of this role — trade-off decisions with real business stakes — stays firmly human.
