Senior Product Manager

We’re looking for an experienced and commercially-minded Senior Product Manager to join our software team at a pivotal moment. With a loyal customer base and mature products in the market, we’re now focused on accelerating innovation - especially through the strategic use of AI - to unlock new sales opportunities and maintain our competitive edge.

This is more than a delivery role. We want someone who thrives on understanding market dynamics, competitive positioning, and customer pain points - and who can translate those insights into bold product direction. You’ll work closely with customers, engineering, and leadership to shape the future of our product portfolio.

This is a remote role with regular travel to Bristol.
