* Location: Pulborough, West Sussex
* Schedule: (Hybrid 2-3 days onsite)
* Salary: £60,000 to £70,000 + benefits
Are you a Product Manager who thrives in discovery, not just delivery? We're looking for a commercially-minded Product Manager who is obsessed with building the *right* things - not just shipping features. This role is ideal for someone who spends their time understanding customers, validating ideas early, and shaping product direction with confidence and clarity. You'll take ownership of a next-generation cloud SaaS platform used by thousands of UK customers, helping transition a well-established product into a modern, scalable web-based solution.The Role This is not a backlog management role. This is about ownership, discovery, and impact.
You will:
* Lead customer discovery and validation - speaking directly with users, testing assumptions, and confidently killing ideas that don't stack up
* Own and prioritise the product roadmap using structured frameworks (e.g. RICE), not opinion or hierarchy
* Define clear, well-structured Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for engineering
* Apply strong commercial thinking - focusing on what delivers real business value and protecting engineering time from low-impact work
* Conduct market, competitor, and regulatory analysis to inform decisions
* Prototype and test ideas before committing development resource
* Use data and analytics to guide decisions and measure success
* Collaborate with engineering and UX, contributing to wireframes where needed
What We're Looking For
* Proven experience as a Product Manager in SaaS or B2B software
* Strong discovery mindset - evidence of user research, validation, and decision-making
* Commercial awareness - able to prioritise based on business impact
* Experience with roadmap frameworks (RICE or similar)
* Ability to produce clear, structured PRDs
* Comfortable working with data and analytics tools
* Exposure to UX/design processes or wireframing
* Experience transitioning desktop products to web (highly desirable)
* Interest or hands-on use of AI tools, with ideas on how AI can enhance product discovery (a bonus)
Why Join?
* Real ownership of a core product used by thousands
* Direct influence on product strategy and direction
* Work closely with leadership in a stable, profitable business
* Be part of a major tech transformation journey
* Shape how product is done across the organisation
If you're a Product Manager who wants to focus on discovery, make commercially smart decisions, and build products that truly matter, we'd love to hear from you.
