Technical Product Manager – Algorithms & Optimisation

About the Role

We’re working with a leading technology business that delivers large-scale optimisation and decision-automation solutions. They are looking for a Technical Product Manager to take ownership of a complex algorithm-driven platform that enables smarter resource allocation and system efficiency in high-volume, operationally critical environments.

This is a pivotal hire to drive the technical direction, development, and optimisation of the product as it transitions from an R&D phase into a fully operational, scalable solution.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and refinement of algorithms to solve complex real-world allocation problems.
• Translate applied mathematics and optimisation concepts into structured product requirements for engineering teams.
• Define KPIs and drive measurable performance improvements through data-driven experimentation.
• Collaborate with engineering, architecture, and product colleagues to deliver new features and improvements.
• Act as a technical product ambassador, engaging with internal stakeholders and customers to ensure adoption and success.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in applied mathematics, optimisation, or data science (degree in Maths, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field).
• Experience in technical product management, ideally in algorithm-heavy or decision-support environments.
• Familiarity with Python and ability to translate algorithmic design into specifications.
• Knowledge of optimisation engines, simulation, or resource planning systems.
• Excellent communicator, able to bridge technical and business audiences.
• Experience in Agile delivery, backlog management, and structured product ownership.

The Package

• Salary £67,000 – £84,000 (flexible for exceptional candidates)
• Up to 10% bonus
• Comprehensive benefits package including private medical, life assurance, and flexible perks
• Remote-first working, with occasional travel for customer engagement and senior leadership meetings (Birmingham / Manchester)
• Strong investment in career development with training, conferences, and progression opportunities

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining algorithmic depth with product leadership, and who wants to take ownership of a solution at a critical stage of its growth journey.
