Technical Product Manager - to £80k - ID48730

Technical Product Manager / Software Product Lead

Can you bring structure, clarity and momentum to complex software delivery?

Do you enjoy turning customer needs into clear, prioritised product work?

Would you like to help shape the product function inside a technically strong engineering business?

Our client is looking for an experienced Technical Product Manager, Software Product Lead, Product Owner or Technical Business Analyst to join a growing engineering-led business as it strengthens its software product delivery capability.

This is a permanent opportunity for someone who can bring customer focus, delivery discipline and practical product thinking into a highly capable technical environment. You will help translate customer requirements into clear user stories, product priorities, tickets, milestones and delivery plans, enabling the software team to build with greater confidence, pace and commercial focus.

The Opportunity

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of product maturity.

Our client already has strong technical and R&D capability, with a software team that is highly capable and close to complex technical systems. The next step is to create more structure around product delivery, customer requirements and software prioritisation.

You will play a key role in helping the team move from an R&D-led environment into a more defined product delivery model. That means working closely with software engineers, product design, R&D specialists, senior stakeholders and customers to understand what needs to be built, why it matters and how it can be delivered effectively.

This is a hands-on product role, ideal for someone who enjoys making things clearer, more organised and more commercially focused.

Why This Role is Great

This role gives you the chance to have a real impact on how software products are shaped, prioritised and delivered.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Turn customer, commercial and technical requirements into clear software deliverables
• Shape the software product roadmap and help bring greater visibility to future development
• Create user stories, tickets, acceptance criteria and delivery milestones
• Prioritise the backlog around customer value, commercial urgency and technical feasibility
• Support sprint planning, delivery tracking and progress visibility
• Work closely with software engineers, R&D engineers, product design and senior stakeholders
• Help define what “good” looks like for software product delivery
• Improve visibility around dependencies, risks, blockers and timelines
• Engage with customers where needed to understand requirements first-hand
• Bring structure to the product process without creating unnecessary bureaucracy
• Help reduce bottlenecks by owning day-to-day requirement breakdown and prioritisation

You will be joining a technically impressive team where your product thinking, communication skills and delivery focus will make a visible difference.

About You

You may currently be working as a Technical Product Manager, Software Product Lead, Product Owner, Technical Business Analyst, Agile Delivery Lead, Software Delivery Manager or Product-Focused Engineering Lead.

You may also have started your career in software engineering, technical analysis or delivery before moving into product management.

This could suit someone who has experience with:

• Software product delivery in a technical, engineering, scientific, industrial, hardware, device, medtech or manufacturing environment
• Windows-based software products, desktop applications or software linked to physical products
• Technical environments involving Python, C#, .NET or similar technologies
• Translating complex technical requirements into practical development plans
• Agile delivery, sprint planning, backlog management and user story creation
• Tools such as Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Figma or similar
• Testing, validation, release processes or customer acceptance
• Working directly with customers to understand needs, priorities and product requirements

Deep specialist domain knowledge is not essential. What matters most is your ability to understand technical complexity, ask the right questions, communicate clearly and help teams deliver valuable software.

The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive

This role will suit someone who is practical, structured and comfortable working in an evolving product environment.

You are likely to be someone who:

• Builds credibility with engineers through clarity, judgement and technical understanding
• Enjoys turning broad customer requirements into smaller, deliverable pieces of work
• Can balance commercial urgency with technical quality
• Is confident challenging priorities in a constructive way
• Works well with customers, technical teams and senior stakeholders
• Is calm under pressure and comfortable making progress without perfect information
• Likes bringing order to ambiguity
• Can introduce structure without slowing people down
• Enjoys working in an SME, scale-up or fast-moving technical business

This is not a purely strategic product role. It is a role for someone who wants to get close to the detail, support the team and help build a more mature product delivery rhythm over time.

Salary & Benefits

The salary is expected to be in the region of £70,000 to £80,000, depending on experience.

Our client is open to speaking with candidates who can bring strong technical product management, software delivery and stakeholder management experience.

The role is likely to suit someone who can be on site regularly, particularly while building relationships with the team and understanding the product environment. Flexibility may be available depending on experience and working arrangements.
