Job Description

Our customers are internal and technical: developers, architects, platform engineers, system administrators and implementation teams.

Youโ€™ll understand their workflows, friction points and adoption barriers deeply, build named relationships with the ones who matter most, and treat their day-to-day experience โ€” from APIs and SDKs to documentation and onboarding โ€” as the truest measure of whether the product is working.

Own the problem, the customer and the outcomes for a programme or product line โ€” you set the what and the why, and partner with engineering and architects on the how.

  • Live in your customers' world โ€” lead discovery with developers, architects and platform engineers, build deep named partnerships, and turn real evidence into a prioritised, outcomedriven roadmap.
  • Advocate relentlessly for developer experience โ€” API and SDK usability, documentation quality, onboarding and adoption โ€” as the measure of product success, and get ahead of needs customers havenโ€™t yet named.
  • Translate customer needs and business strategy into clear, testable requirements and acceptance criteria the team can build against with confidence โ€” and set the standard for how thatโ€™s done across the team.
  • Make the prioritisation and trade-off calls that balance immediate customer value with longterm product health, drawing on technical trade-offs such as build vs buy, scalability and extensibility without getting lost in them.
  • Use AI as a force multiplier across discovery, analysis and documentation, and raise the bar for how the team applies it โ€” while the product judgement stays yours.
  • Partner with architects and engineers as an equal, challenge assumptions constructively, and be the product partner they seek out to make hard calls faster and with less friction.
  • Coach and mentor other product managers, share what you learn, and lift the practice around you rather than holding knowledge to yourself

Qualifications

  • A genuine product mindset โ€” you think in customer outcomes, adoption and business value, not in features or technology for its own sake.
  • Deep obsession with your customers โ€” here, developers, architects and platform engineers โ€” and a track record of advocating for their experience and shifting product direction because of it.
  • Substantial product management experience in B2B enterprise, platform, developer or infrastructure products, with a record of independently owning outcomes at programme or product-line level.
  • Proven customer discovery and co-creation skills, and the ability to turn real evidence into a clear roadmap and requirements others build against.
  • Enough technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering and architecture โ€” you can read APIs, schemas, logs and code to understand impact (writing production code is not required).
  • Confidence making prioritisation and trade-off decisions, and the influence to align engineers, architects and senior stakeholders without authority.
  • Excellent communication โ€” you translate technical complexity into business language and business strategy into clear product direction, and present confidently to leadership.
  • Experience coaching or mentoring other PMs, and setting standards the team adopts.
  • An AI-first way of working, and the judgement to know where AI helps and where it doesnโ€™t.
