Role Overview

As our Product Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in defining our product's direction and ensuring that our roadmap is aligned with user needs and strategic goals.

Working closely with users and product analytics, you will leverage feedback from rapid iteration and testing to prioritise and refine features, translating insights into a coherent, actionable product strategy.

The ideal candidate has experience in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) industry and understands the unique challenges and needs of this sector.

• Guiding the end-to-end product process, from roadmap to wireframe to design, through to development, ensuring smooth communication and coordination across teams.

• Translating insights from rapid iteration and testing into actionable product plans, balancing long-term vision with short-term iterations.
• Acting as a growth-oriented product thinker, finding creative ways to enhance user engagement and retention.
• Working with our Product Designer to create functional wireframes and initial UX concepts.
• Working alongside engineering and design teams, bridging the gap between vision and execution.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in product management, ideally with experience in the AEC industry or in a SaaS environment with complex, feature-rich products.
• Proven track record of defining and launching successful products, with experience managing the entire product lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of UX principles, with the ability to create wireframes and rough design concepts when necessary.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and translate complex ideas into clear, actionable plans.
• Analytical mindset and experience working with user data to inform product decisions.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, able to bring direction and clarity to undefined product spaces.
• Familiarity with agile development processes and tools for product management.

It would be a bonus for you to have:

• Background in UX design, with experience creating wireframes and prototyping.
• Knowledge of or experience in growth hacking, with an understanding of user engagement metrics and tactics.
