Join to apply for the Product Line Manager role at MBR Partners
Our client is a UK-headquartered, well-funded start-up at the cutting edge of bringing digital transformation to the way the world manages water and wastewater services.
We are seeking a Product Line Manager (PLM) to lead the strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle of our Client's Water and Wastewater SaaS platform. This role focuses on delivering innovative, cloud-based solutions that help utilities, municipalities, and industrial operators manage the full water cycle — from smart distribution to wastewater treatment and compliance.
The ideal candidate combines SaaS product expertise with industry knowledge in water or wastewater management and a passion for leveraging technologies like IoT, AI/ML, and Hybrid Digital Twins to drive efficiency, compliance, and sustainability.
Key Responsibilities
* Define and own the product line vision across water distribution and wastewater treatment modules
* Build a roadmap that balances compliance (regulatory reporting), efficiency (OPEX savings), and sustainability (reuse, ESG tracking).
* Integrate Hybrid Digital Twins as a strategic differentiator — blending physics-based and AI-driven models to simulate, predict, and optimize operations.
* Develop phased roadmaps: short-term compliance and monitoring, mid-term predictive analytics, and long-term city-wide digital twin ecosystems.
Lifecycle & Prioritization
* Manage the full product lifecycle from ideation to retirement.
* Prioritize features by regulatory criticality, ROI impact, and innovation potential:
* Must-have: compliance dashboards, automated reporting.
* Innovation: digital twins for climate resilience and reuse planning.
* Define adoption KPIs (e.g., effluent compliance %, OPEX reduction, customer ROI).
* Retire or evolve modules that no longer deliver measurable value.
Cross-Functional Leadership
* Collaborate with engineering and data science to integrate IoT/SCADA datastreams, AI/ML models, and physics-based simulation engines.
* Partner with regulatory experts to ensure platform compliance with EPA, EU directives, and ISO standards.
* Enable sales and marketing with ROI-based value propositions tailored to municipalities, utilities, and industrial operators.
* Support customer success by driving operator adoption and building trust in AI-powered and digital twin solutions.
* Build strategic partnerships with IoT vendors, simulation software providers, and smart city initiatives.
Preferred Qualifications
* 5–10 years of experience in product management, preferably in SaaS, IoT, or digital platforms.
* Prior exposure to the water, wastewater, or environmental technology sectors is strongly preferred.
* Familiarity with hydraulic and process modeling tools a plus.
* Proven track record of delivering data-driven SaaS products, ideally with Hybrid Digital Twin or AI/ML integration.
* Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks (EPA, EU Water Framework Directive, ISO water standards).
* Exceptional leadership, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
