This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Principal Product Manager – Time to First Production based in United Kingdom.
This is a high-impact product leadership role focused on improving the journey from a customer’s first interaction with the platform to successfully running their first process in production.
You will own a company-wide product outcome, defining the north-star metrics, customer journey, strategy, and roadmap that guide major investments.
Working across Product, Engineering, Design, Experience, Data, Marketing, and GTM, you will turn customer evidence into clear priorities and measurable outcomes.
The role sits at the intersection of AI-assisted product development, agentic experiences, guided onboarding, testing, validation, and production readiness.
You will have significant autonomy to shape an evolving product area and establish the measurement framework that demonstrates progress.
Success will depend on your ability to influence senior stakeholders, create alignment without formal authority, and translate complex opportunities into focused execution.
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced product leader who wants visible impact and the chance to help shape an AI-first product organization.
Accountabilities
- Own the Time to First Production outcome end to end, defining its north-star metrics, customer journey, strategic objectives, roadmap, and key initiatives.
- Establish a clear vision for what an exceptional first-production experience looks like and translate that vision into measurable product outcomes.
- Partner with data and validation teams to create robust, end-to-end measurement of the customer journey, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement.
- Set priorities across initiatives covering AI-assisted and agentic building experiences, onboarding, guided development, testing and validation, production readiness, and human-in-the-loop process experiences.
- Work closely with Engineering, Design, and Experience leaders to translate strategy into execution and ensure investments remain aligned with customer outcomes.
- Represent the outcome area to senior leadership, Product Marketing, and go-to-market teams, communicating progress, priorities, insights, and strategic recommendations through clear, evidence-based narratives.
- Collaborate with other product outcome leaders to maintain a coherent overall product strategy and ensure smooth transitions between customer lifecycle stages.
- Bring an outside-in perspective to roadmap decisions by continuously incorporating customer research, feedback, behavioral data, and market evidence.
- Influence cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders without relying on direct reporting authority, creating alignment around strategy and measurable outcomes.
- Continuously refine the product strategy as customer needs, AI capabilities, market conditions, and organizational priorities evolve.
- Help shape an AI-first product operating model by exploring new ways AI agents and intelligent tooling can support product development, process creation, testing, and optimization.
