Our client, a UK-based tech business, is looking for an experienced Product Manager
to take ownership of a time & synchronisation product line used in network and communications environments. You can be based out of any UK offices, with a hybrid setup (typically 2-3 days WFH, depending on the team).
The day-to-day is a mix of customer discovery, shaping what gets built next, and making sure Sales/Marketing have what they need to take it to market. You'll work closely with Engineering, plus customer-facing teams, to move ideas from early problem validation through to delivery - and you'll help steer messaging and longer-term priorities as the market moves.
What you'll be doing
- Speak to users regularly and turn what you learn into clear product priorities
- Keep the roadmap focused: weigh up value, cost, time-to-market and quality
- Partner with Engineering on scope and delivery for updates and new products
- Support field comms: docs, training, demos, presentations, customer briefings
- Feed in market insight (competitors, sizing, forecasting) and help shape positioning
- Attend industry events as needed (expect up to ~25% travel)
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
