The Role
We're working with a long-established business entering the next stage of a major technology and product transformation, with a growing Product team now taking ownership of how new products and platforms are shaped and built.
We're looking for an experienced Product Manager who can take ownership and push product initiatives forward - shaping ideas, challenging requirements and working closely with Engineering and Design to turn problems into products that genuinely work.
A big part of this role is AI-led product development and rapid prototyping. We're specifically looking for someone who is already actively using tools such as Claude, ChatGPT or similar to prototype ideas, explore solutions and accelerate the journey from concept to something tangible.
This isn't about simply using AI for meeting notes or documentation - we want someone who is genuinely experimenting with it and using it as part of how they build and think about products.
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.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of a key product area.
- Work closely with Engineering and Design across:
- Product discovery, shaping and prioritisation
- Rapid prototyping and testing ideas before committing to build
- Using AI tools practically throughout the product development process
- Turning complex business problems into clear product solutions
- Challenging requirements and making decisions around what should - and shouldn't - be built
- Working with Engineering to take shaped concepts through into delivery
- Managing competing priorities across different areas of the business
What We're Looking For
- Strong Product Management experience within software/digital environments
- Experience taking ownership from discovery and shaping through to delivery
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to prototype and develop product ideas
- Comfortable creating something tangible quickly rather than relying solely on traditional documentation
- Strong understanding of how Product, Engineering and Design work together
- Confident stakeholder management and the ability to challenge constructively
- Someone proactive who can independently push initiatives forward
- Comfortable joining an evolving environment where there is still plenty to shape

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The team is also evolving its ways of working, moving away from rigid delivery processes towards a more fluid approach, with Product doing more of the thinking, shaping and prototyping before work reaches Engineering.
Salary
£55,000-£60,000
Location
5 days onsite - North Manchester
If you're a Product Manager already experimenting with AI and using it to actually build and prototype, rather than simply talking about its potential, I'd love to hear from you.
