Your tasks

We are looking for a Product Manager to drive the discovery, definition, development and continuous improvement of digital products and software solutions. The role requires a strong understanding of user needs, business objectives and product delivery, with the ability to translate complex operational requirements into clear, actionable product specifications. Working closely with stakeholders, users, UX/UI designers, engineers and other cross-functional teams, you will own product priorities, manage the product backlog and guide the delivery of solutions that deliver measurable user and business value. The ideal candidate is outcome-driven, analytical and comfortable working with technical teams in an Agile software development environment.

• Product Strategy and Discovery: Understand user needs, operational workflows and business objectives to identify problems worth solving and define product goals, scope and roadmap.
• Requirements Definition: Translate business and user needs into clear product requirements, user journeys, user stories, business rules, edge cases and acceptance criteria.
• Prioritisation and Decision-Making: Own and prioritise the product backlog based on user value, business impact, urgency, delivery effort, technical dependencies and risk. Make informed trade-offs on scope and priorities.
• Product Design and Validation: Work with UX/UI designers to shape user-centric workflows and experiences, validate proposed solutions and ensure usability across relevant user groups.
• Product Delivery: Work closely with Tech Leads and engineering teams to clarify requirements, refine the backlog, prepare work for development, resolve product-related questions and manage scope and release priorities throughout delivery.
• Stakeholder Management: Align users, business stakeholders and technical teams on product objectives, priorities, dependencies, risks and delivery expectations. Communicate product decisions and progress effectively, including to senior management.
• Product Performance and Improvement: Define appropriate success metrics, gather user feedback, assess product performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Quality and Governance: Ensure product requirements account for relevant security, regulatory, quality and operational considerations, including appropriate testing, auditability and readiness for deployment and ongoing support.
• Agile Ways of Working: Facilitate product-related Agile activities, including backlog refinement, sprint planning input, reviews and prioritisation discussions, to maintain a clear and actionable delivery backlog.
