Product Manager
Outside IR35 Contract
£350 per day | 2 Days Onsite | Central London
We're looking for a hands-on Product Manager to join an established retail business undergoing a major technology transformation.
This isn't a role for someone who simply manages stakeholders or facilitates Agile ceremonies. We're looking for someone who enjoys working side-by-side with engineering teams, taking broad business problems and turning them into clear, deliverable pieces of work.
You'll be responsible for breaking down epics, refining backlogs, writing user stories and acceptance criteria, and ensuring engineers have everything they need to deliver high-quality solutions.
Retail, ecommerce and omnichannel experience would be highly advantageous.
What you'll be doing
- Working closely with Engineering, Product and Business stakeholders to understand complex business problems.
- Breaking large initiatives and epics into well-defined user stories and technical deliverables.
- Owning and refining the product backlog.
- Writing detailed user stories and acceptance criteria.
- Working with engineers daily to answer questions, remove blockers and keep delivery moving.
- Running backlog refinement, sprint planning and prioritisation sessions.
- Collaborating with users and stakeholders to understand problems before solutions are built.
- Helping shape practical solutions that balance customer needs, technical feasibility and business priorities.
- Supporting delivery across multiple concurrent initiatives within a fast-paced retail environment.
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.
We're looking for someone who can demonstrate:
- Experience working as a Product Manager within Agile engineering teams.
- Strong backlog ownership and prioritisation experience.
- Experience breaking broad business requirements into clear technical deliverables.
- Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria and managing delivery through to release.
- Confidence working directly with software engineers on a day-to-day basis.
- Experience gathering requirements from users and business stakeholders and translating these into product features.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience using Azure DevOps, Jira, Notion or similar tools.

Highly desirable
- Retail, ecommerce or omnichannel experience.
- Experience working on customer-facing digital products.
- Experience working on operational platforms, fulfilment, logistics or supply chain products.
- Experience working alongside cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced delivery environment.
This role probably isn't for you if...
- Your experience has been primarily programme management or delivery management without owning product backlogs.
- You mainly coordinate Agile ceremonies rather than defining the work engineers build.
- You're more strategic than hands-on and no longer enjoy working closely with development teams.
If you're someone who enjoys turning complex business problems into clear, deliverable work for engineering teams and wants to join a collaborative retail technology environment, we'd love to hear from you.
