Senior Product Manager (Hardware-Focused)

Senior Product Manager – Hardware Portfolio Lead

As market-leading technology provider designing products for mission-critical environments globally, we’re seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead a key hardware portfolio and shape the future of our Product Management function in a leadership role.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategic product leadership, hands-on execution, customer engagement, and team development.


The Opportunity

In this role, you will:

  • Own the full product lifecycle for a hardware portfolio
  • Collaborate with engineering, commercial teams, and customers to define product strategy, influence roadmaps, and deliver solutions for real-world operational challenges
  • Develop the Product Management team, mentor colleagues, and nurture future talent

This is an influential position with significant visibility across the business—ideal for anyone ready to make strategic impact.


Key Responsibilities

Product Leadership & Delivery

  • Define the strategy, roadmap, and commercial success of critical hardware products
  • Guide products from concept-to-launch, through in-life management, and end-of-life planning
  • Translate customer requirements into commercial product decisions for engineering teams

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.
