Job Description
Our customers are technical: developers, architects, platform engineers, system administrators and implementation teams. You'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 — from APIs and SDKs to documentation and onboarding — as the truest measure of whether the product is working.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Own the problem, the customer and the outcomes for a programme or product line — you set the what and the why, and partner with engineering and architects on the how.
- Live in your customers' world — lead discovery with developers, architects and platform engineers, build deep named partnerships, and turn real evidence into a prioritised, outcome-driven roadmap.
- Advocate relentlessly for developer experience — API and SDK usability, documentation quality, onboarding and adoption — as the measure of product success, and get ahead of needs customers haven't yet named.
- Translate customer needs and business strategy into clear, testable requirements and acceptance criteria the team can build against with confidence — and set the standard for how that's done across the team.
- Make the prioritisation and trade-off calls that balance immediate customer value with long-term 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 — 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 — you think in customer outcomes, adoption and business value, not in features or technology for its own sake.
- Deep obsession with your customers — here, developers, architects and platform engineers — 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 — 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 — 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 doesn't.
