6 Month Contract
Location: Remote - UK
Rate: £600 - £650 per day (INSIDE IR35)
Key skills: Product Management, SaaS, Platform Modernisation, 0-1 Delivery, Agile, UX, Cloud Platforms
We are recruiting an experienced Product Manager to support the major redesign and redevelopment of a long-established governance software product.
The existing platform has been in use for more than 25 years and is now undergoing a significant refresh and reimagining. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role responsible for helping turn an established product into a modern, intuitive and scalable cloud-based solution.
The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, product design and user research teams to define requirements, prioritise delivery and guide the product through a substantial period of change.
This is primarily an execution and product-delivery role rather than a go-to-market position. The role is remote within the UK, although candidates should ideally be available to attend an initial team kick-off in London.
The Role
As Product Manager, you will:
- Help shape and deliver the redevelopment of an established governance software product
- Develop a detailed understanding of customer needs, pain points and existing product limitations
- Translate product strategy into clear, actionable requirements for engineering and design teams
- Define, refine and prioritise the product roadmap
- Take a hands-on approach to backlog management and product delivery
- Work closely with engineering teams to assess technical options, dependencies and trade-offs
- Collaborate with product designers and user researchers to create intuitive, user-centred experiences
- Manage the product development lifecycle from discovery and concept through to delivery and release
- Use customer research, data and analytics to inform product decisions
- Ensure requirements are clear, outcome-focused and technically achievable
- Support effective Agile delivery using Scrum, Kanban or similar methodologies
- Maintain clear product documentation and promote strong knowledge sharing
- Communicate product priorities, decisions and progress to stakeholders at all levels
- Balance customer requirements, regulatory considerations, technical feasibility and business objectives
