About the job
You'll be the person in the room who knows where we need to go, what good looks like and has the spine to push for it. As a Product Manager, you own the outcome of the products we build for our clients. Not just the process. Not just the deliverables. The actual result.
Our clients hire us because they can't do this themselves. Your job is to bring the conviction, the craft, and the clarity that makes the difference between a product that ships and a product that matters.
Your key responsibilities are:
- Product discovery: You dig into product discovery . By either facilitating workshops or getting your hands dirty. You talk to users, challenge assumptions, use AI to sketch some ideas, and do whatever it takes to understand the real problem before jumping to solutions.
- Client partnership: You get under the skin of your client's business (the model, the market pressure, the ambitions) because that's where great product thinking starts. You translate their complexity into clear product direction, and you keep a sharp eye on the evolving budget, because builders know that constraints are what make solutions sharp.
