At OQC, we aren't just theorising about the future; we're building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we've transitioned quantum computing from an academic ambition into a commercial reality—and we're just getting started.
The Purpose
Help keep OQC's product portfolio moving by turning cross-functional discussions into clear plans, decisions and action.
As our Product Strategy Associate, you'll bring structure to work across product, engineering and commercial teams, helping colleagues stay coordinated and focused on agreed milestones. You'll maintain a reliable view of progress, risks and dependencies, ensuring everyone understands what needs to happen next, who is responsible and when actions are due.
The Role
This is an early-career, associate-level opportunity, suited to a technical graduate or someone with initial consulting experience who wants to build a career in product strategy and delivery. The emphasis is on hands-on coordination, supporting decisions and ensuring follow-through, rather than senior product or strategy leadership.
Working within Product Management and reporting to the VP Product Management, you'll be an individual contributor based in London, connecting product, engineering, commercial and leadership teams.
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.
You'll keep plans and documentation current, capture decisions and follow up on commitments. You don't need to be a deep technical specialist, but you should be comfortable engaging with technical material and confident asking senior stakeholders for clarity, decisions and updates.
What You'll Be Working On
- Maintain project plans and delivery trackers across OQC's product portfolio, keeping activity aligned with agreed milestones
- Track risks and dependencies, giving teams and leaders a clear, reliable view of progress
- Turn discussions into concise meeting notes, decision logs and actions with named owners and deadlines
- Collate project documentation, technical inputs and customer-facing materials to support coordinated delivery
- Connect product, engineering, commercial and leadership teams, helping keep projects synchronised and relevant information visible
- Follow up on decisions and commitments, ensuring agreed actions translate into progress
What We're Looking For
- A technical graduate or junior consulting background, with confidence working across product, engineering and commercial teams
- Comfort working with technical material, without needing to be a deep technical specialist
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to turn loosely structured discussions into clear notes, actions, owners and deadlines
- Confidence and persistence when following up with senior stakeholders to secure decisions, commitments and completed actions
- A degree, or equivalent practical experience, in product management, engineering, business or a related discipline

The ‘Nice-to-Haves'

Why Join OQC
You'll build practical experience within Product Management while working closely with technical specialists, commercial colleagues and senior leaders.
This is an opportunity to develop your understanding of how product priorities become coordinated delivery. Your contribution will be visible in clearer plans, better-informed decisions and the follow-through that helps OQC's teams deliver against their milestones.
