In this role, you will own both the short-term and long-term product roadmaps, ensuring alignment with market demands and a continued focus on delivering customer value.
We’re looking for a strong strategic thinker with a practical, hands-on approach to managing product backlogs and driving agile delivery. A solid grasp of APIs, data transfer methods, and proven experience integrating products with third-party systems is essential.
Key responsibilities

* Work with a variety of teams, including Engineering, Design and Marketing to ensure a common understanding of objectives and priorities
* Collect and analyse ideas and feedback from customers, partners and stakeholders
* Plan new features and changes, researching opportunities based on commercial and technical viabilities
* Demonstrate new features and ideas to stakeholders, being prepared with excellent documentation in collaboration with the wider Product team
* Manage experiments at the start of the process, and pilots at the end
* Own and manage the product backlog: create, refine, and prioritise user stories, epics, and tasks
* Work closely with the Engineering team to track development progress, resolve blockers and ensure timely delivery
* Conduct competitor, market and industry analysis to feed into the roadmap of the CitNOW Imaging product
* Be the go-to person for the product you manage for all areas of the business
* Lead sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog grooming, and retrospectives with cross-functional teams
* Define acceptance criteria and break down deliverables into user stories to ensure they meet business and quality standards
* Measure product performance using analytics and KPIs, and iterate based on insight
We are looking for:
* An experienced Product Manager, with excellent data-driven prioritisation skills
* Strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward action
* Strong knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies
* Demonstrated success in delivering software products from concept to launch
* Experience in the automotive software industry is desirable, not necessarily required
* Knowledge and experience of mobile apps, iOS, Android and React Native would be highly desirable
* Proficiency with tools such as Product board, Jira, Confluence, Figma, or similar
In addition to a competitive salary, our benefits package is second to none. Employee wellbeing is at the heart of our people strategy, with a number of innovative wellness initiatives such as flexi-time, where employees can vary their start and finish times within our core business hours and/or extend their lunch break by up to 2 hours per day.
