Job Description

Product Manager | North Manchester (Hybrid)
£55,000 - £60,000

We're working with a long-established, financially backed organisation going through a genuine product and technology transformation.

Following the appointment of a new Head of Product, we are looking for a Product Manager who can help shape how product is done moving forward.

This is a role where you come in, take ownership, and help bring structure, clarity, and direction to a platform that's evolving quickly.

You'll be working closely with the Head of Product, engineering teams, and the wider business to:

  • Drive product discovery and shape new initiatives
  • Own areas of the product roadmap end-to-end
  • Bring structure to existing workstreams and prioritisation
  • Work closely with engineering to deliver at pace
  • Take the business on the journey - not just deliver features

There's a real mix of brownfield and new product work, so it's ideal for someone who enjoys both improving what exists and shaping what comes next.

AI & Modern Product Thinking

A key part of this role is actively using AI to improve how you work.

We're looking for people who:

  • Use AI tools to speed up discovery, analysis, and delivery
  • Think about reducing manual processes (not just managing Jira tickets)
  • Can give real examples of how AI has improved their workflow or decision-making

This isn't a "nice to have" - it's a core part of how the team wants to operate.

What we're Looking For

  • Strong background in Product Management (end-to-end ownership)
  • Confident in product discovery and stakeholder engagement
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving environments
  • Ownership mindset - proactive, not waiting to be told what to do
  • Able to balance business needs with technical delivery
  • Outcome-focused - measuring success beyond just delivery

This is a collaborative, no-ego culture. You're backed by a stable business, but with a startup-like feel in the team

Logistics

  • North Manchester
  • Hybrid working (initial onsite presence to get Embedded)
  • Salary £55-65k (some flexibility for strong profiles)

If you're someone who:

  • enjoys building and shaping rather than maintaining
  • wants real ownership and influence
  • is excited by AI and modern product practices

this is a genuinely strong opportunity to step into a team at the right time.
