Senior Product Manager

Interim Senior Product Manager opportunity for a 6-month contract with a growing B2B SaaS business. This is a hybrid (3-days per week in the office) contract within commutable distance of Manchester.

Our client requires a Senior Product Manager to bring clarity, structure and ownership to its product function during an important period of change.

The business has reached the point where product decisions need to be joined up more consistently across commercial priorities, technical delivery and partner-led work. There is strong momentum, but ownership is currently spread across different teams. The immediate need is for someone who can step in quickly, create a clearer operating rhythm and help the business make better product decisions while a permanent postholder is recruited.

This contract offers the opportunity to do meaningful work across roadmap ownership, prioritisation, delivery alignment and product process. The right person will leave the business in a stronger position than they found it.

The role:

You will take ownership of the overall product roadmap, bringing together customer needs, commercial priorities, technical delivery and external partner activity into a single, coherent plan.

There are several important initiatives already underway, including partner integrations, new product development and expansion into adjacent customer use cases. The business needs someone who can work out what matters most, create alignment around those priorities and make sure product investment is linked to commercial value.

You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and senior leadership. Some conversations will be strategic and commercial, whilst others will be practical, detailed and delivery-focused. You will need to be comfortable moving between both.

What you’ll be doing:

You will create a clearer view of product direction, priorities and delivery across the business.

• Taking ownership of the product roadmap across commercial and technical workstreams
• Prioritising initiatives based on customer value, commercial opportunity and delivery effort
• Working with customers, partners and internal teams to shape discovery and product decisions
• Supporting integration-led and partner-led product initiatives
• Helping commercial teams think through pricing, business cases and go-to-market planning
• Introducing stronger product management processes, governance and decision-making rhythms
• Giving leadership clear visibility of roadmap priorities, trade-offs, progress and investment decisions

This is a hands-on interim role. You will need to create structure without slowing the business down.

About you:

This role will suit a product management professional who has previously:

• Led B2B software products through periods of growth, change or increased complexity
• Owned product strategy across multiple workstreams rather than a single squad
• Experience working with large enterprise technology partners or strategic integrations, with an understanding of how such organisations operate
• Worked closely with engineering while keeping a strong commercial focus
• Built roadmaps that balance customer demand, delivery capacity and long-term business goals
• Supported product launches, commercial planning and cross-functional delivery
• Introduced structure into product environments where processes are still developing.

Experience with regulated, data-heavy or workflow-critical software would be useful, but is not essential. What matters more is the ability to operate in a scaling SaaS environment where priorities move quickly and product decisions need sharper ownership.

Why it’s interesting:

The business is investing in product, expanding its partner ecosystem and bringing new offerings to market. There is plenty of momentum, but not everything is fully formed yet.

You will have the chance to make a visible impact quickly: creating focus, improving decision-making, strengthening product ways of working and helping the leadership team move with more confidence.
