Product Manager

Role: Product Manager

Location: Chorley – 4 days a week in the office

Salary: up to 55K, potential wiggle room for the right candidate

Are you well versed in working with products? Are you able to take ownership and work with stakeholders? If so, read on….

A shrinking butterfly, not at all what’s required.  I am looking for the butterfly that will flourish and raise the stakes with the way product is dealt with in the business. You will take full responsibility for all the products internally within the business, so experience of managing products internally is a bonus!! There are approximately 5-10 core products.

You won’t be thrown into this alone, there will be a BA who will work alongside you and help with various aspects of the products. You will need to be proactive and take full responsibility of the build of the road maps for example.

Product is currently treated reactively, which can lead to being on the back foot at times. You will be happy to challenge processes and the way things work. You will be the driving force within the business and help the business understand the benefits and need for change to be made.

If you are looking for a clean slate where you can come in and put your own stamp onto a role then this is the positions for you, as in their words, “you will be starting from scratch”. Being able to communicate to non-technical members of staff to understand their needs is also a big brownie point.

If this sounds like the role for you, please get in touch.

ClimateTech Software Engineering Manager – Earth Observation

ClimateTech Software Engineering Manager – Earth Observation
Location: Fully remote within Europe, +/- 2 hours of CET.
Salary: €75K – €100K + equity & benefits.

Forest management is tough. Cut too much and we release carbon, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating.

Vegetation monitoring may not sound very exciting but building earth observation software, utilising satellite imagery and Machine Learning with remote sensing and geospatial presents interesting challenges.

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.

Most importantly though, this saves homes, businesses and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer in energy and climate resilience.

The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are ~70 people now, with around 45 in development and data science across 5 teams with one core product, each being quite specialised.

You’ll lead a team of 6-8 cross-disciplined people, building out new features and implementing deeply interesting product developments. Your key focus will be optimising the team, removing bottlenecks, and supporting them individually, managing resources and planning workloads in line with changing priorities.

Data processing and pipelines are critical to the work, and it’s essential you’ve worked with machine learning products in the past. Geospatial and remote sensing data experience and any knowledge of satellite and high-resolution imagery would also be very helpful.

Their tech stack is Python, Django, Typescript, Node and React, with Google Cloud Platform for managing their services. They use a lot of PyTorch and TensorFlow and various other data libraries or frameworks so you might be getting the hint that data exp is key experience.

They’re hoping to find someone who’s been an EM in numerous companies, having seen some different approaches to leadership, process design and implementation, onboarding, and a deep curiosity for understanding people. Empathy is critical and this all feeds into building a team who are passionate about having a positive impact and compassionate towards their peers.

They also want someone familiar with startup environments, ideally who’s been through series A-C fundraises and the growth that comes with bringing on paying customers and investment simultaneously.

The team are friendly and passionate, and the company are supportive with good benefits including equity, so you’re bought into any future success.

Want to help address the climate crisis? What are you waiting for? 😁

ClimateTech Senior Fullstack Engineer – Earth Observation

ClimateTech Senior Fullstack Engineer – Earth Observation
Salary: €65,000 – €85,000 + equity
Location: Fully remote – Europe or UK based.

Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating.

Vegetation monitoring may not sound very exciting but building earth observation software, utilising satellite imagery and Machine Learning with remote sensing and geospatial presents interesting challenges.

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.

Most importantly though, this saves homes, businesses and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer in energy and climate resilience.

The company has grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are 70 people now, with around 45 of those in development and data science across 5 teams with one core product, each team being quite specialised.

The company is hoping to find people with experience in earth observation or some familiarity with image processing and GIS/Geospatial technologies.

You’ll focus on building dashboards and web apps connecting various aerial imagery and satellite data to customers, enabling decision-making. You’ll work closely with product managers in an Agile environment. The company’s tech teams have grown heavily in the last 12 months and will continue to do so through the next 12+ months following the close of their Series A fundraiser.

They use Google Cloud Platform and Python alongside modern Typescript, ES6, ES7 and frameworks like React and NodeJS. Their products are very geospatial and remote sensing focused so experience with Python and GIS tools or geospatial data will be prioritised.

As with most dev roles these days you’ll do quite a lot of work with APIs, FASTAPI specifically, so browser API and backend API building is a must.

They’re keen to find someone with experience working in startups, ideally in the space sector, with imagery in some capacity, or with data pipelines and machine learning products.

Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll need to see.

They care about their staff. They have a 13% vacation stipend to send you on some epic holidays contribute to your training and development and operate truly flexibly – so long as you’re available and overlap with the team (+/- 3-hour CET is best) you can work when you choose.

If this sounds like a bit of you, please reach out. They’re remote first and will consider people anywhere in Europe.

Location: Fully remote within Europe, +/- 2 hours of CET.

Salary: €75K – €90K + 13% vacation supplement + equity & benefits.

Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.

Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery with geospatial analysis and Machine Learning with data coming in from teams, remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.

Engineering Manager

Role:  Engineering Manager 

Location:  Office in Derby that you’ll need to go into at least 3 days per week for the first 6 months, then it drops down to around once per month. 

Salary:  £60k  

Have you been unofficially managing a dev team, even offshore devs, whilst having to deliver code at the same time?  Would you really rather concentrate all your efforts on managing, coaching, and developing the people in your team?

Then this role is for you!

I’m working with a Property SaaS company who have grown a lot recently, through acquisition. They have turned a collection of small industry-leading companies into a group that’s hard to be rivalled!

Due to this way of growing, they have maintained the small company feel to their roles and added the security and stability of a parent company into the mix, therefore giving their team the best of both worlds.

This role will see you leading a team of 50 developers in a mix of in-house and offshore reports, and you’ll be completely hands-off: this is a full-time job in itself!

Whilst you’ll not be hands-on in this role, a strong technical background in the Microsoft web tech stack is necessary for you to hold your own in technical conversations, 1-2-1s, code and performance reviews, etc. So, C#, .Net Core, SQL Server, Azure, and complementary tech like JavaScript/ TypeScript with a SPA framework like Angular, React, and Vue.

You’ll be someone who really cares about people and having a happy, high-performing team is what you strive to maintain. Being able to show examples of mentoring and/ or leading more junior team members and helping them grow and develop to the point of getting promoted in your current or past roles will be great for you to show at the interview.

It is no small task to manage people around the world, so previous experience in leading or managing (unofficially is fine) offshore teams, as well as in-house devs, is crucial for this role.

If you’re ready to be unleashed and show what you can really do, hit apply to be considered immediately!

Engineering Manager  

Role:  Engineering Manager  

Location:  Fully remote working model- remote first attitude, no obligation to go into an office.  

Global offices, with 3 in the UK in the South of England.

Salary:  Up to £90k plus excellent benefits 

How does joining a well-established, market-leading, global, and growing SaaS company sound to you?  How about a role that lets you have a singular mission of ensuring your dev team is happy?

Like what you are reading? Then read on, I’m excited for you!

I am working with a really lovely company that is not only excellent at what they do, but rather unique, too!  They are a global company with a remote-first mentality. They care about their people and are adept at identifying ways they can improve as a company and acting on it, which is what they’re doing by creating this role.

They have seen that they are lacking a middle management layer in their development teams to be able to cascade down changes coming from above, and to make sure that their development teams are looked after, so they’ve decided to go ahead and hire someone to do just that.

Looking after a team of 10-12 engineers, they are looking for someone who is strongly motivated to ensure the well-being, happiness, performance, career progression, and appropriate training is received by the team they are heading up. To this end, they have removed the delivery aspect of the usual engineering manager role, so you’ll have no distractions from your mission.  This will be your whole world.

Their tech teams use the Microsoft stack, so C#, .Net, Azure, SQL Server, and JavaScript/ TypeScript with angular on the front end. A background in this would be beneficial as you’ll be able to have in-depth technical 1-2-1s and performance reviews!

If this sounds like what you’ve been waiting for, then apply now! If you want to find out a bit more first, contact me and we can have a chat.

QA Manager

Role: QA Manager 

Location: Nottingham city centre, 2 days/month.

I’m working with a global company to find their first QA Manager to join a team and help grow and develop them.

You’ll slot into their existing team, who are spread across the globe. You will be responsible for a small team, onshore and offshore, developing and mentoring them.

  • Strong knowledge of QA principles and methodologies.
  • Develop and execute test plans covering functionality, data integrity and security.
  • Experience with Selenium or playwright.
  • Be able to produce automation frameworks.

The company offering this role is highly regulated. The company is very large, so whilst you’ll be joining a small team, and your work will be visible and valued, you’ll have the security of working for a major player in their field coupled with the progression opportunities that follow.

If this sounds great to you, apply now for immediate consideration, or drop me a line to find out more about your next role! ✊

Customer Success Data Manager

Location: East Midlands, fully remote with a monthly meeting in the East Midlands

Salary: up to 45k

Does making a difference matter to you? Does Education float your boat? If so, carry on reading.

For this role, it is crucial that you have worked in the Education sector within a school, preferably at Trust level, however, this is a nice to have, rather than a necessity.

You will be the first person in this role, so you have the opportunity to make this role your own and put your own processes in place. It is not very often that you get the opportunity to walk into a clean slate and have no one else’s shoes to fill.

You need to have a passion for data, as well as project implementations. You will be joining a small team, so a shrinking wallflower will not fit in, as you will need to ensure that your voice is heard, and your ideas and thoughts will be listened too.

The following experience is essential:

  • 3 years experience working as a Data Manager in a school
  • Understanding the data requirements of a school and multi academy trusts
  • Knowledge of data tracking and analysis
  • An interest in software products and technical concepts

If this sounds like the role for you, please get in touch.

Conservation Tech Lead

Conservation Tech Lead – Ruby on Rails & JavaScript

Location: Cambridge, hybrid – 2 days per month on-site

Salary: Up to £70K + 12% pension

Biodiversity is finally raising the agenda globally, following various agreements made at BioCOP15 in Canada in late 2022.

Monitoring and reporting financial disclosures and their impacts on nature will be compulsory for many large companies from early 2024, particularly those extracting resources, developing land or providing finance.

Working for a conservation partnership of 4 organisations this role will be working on a geospatial mapping tool which tracks biodiversity over land and oceans. The usership has doubled in the last 18 months with no signs of slowing. The platform is also used by conservation partners and governments to allow for more robust decision-making and policy creation.

You’ll work predominantly with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript to build new features, taking some ownership of design and architecture as you grow into the position and learn how your team work best. They use PostgreSQL and have lots of APIs which require maintenance.

Interestingly, you’ll have the best of several worlds in this role, being employed by a charity with a large broader tech team and a strong support network, events and workshops for upskilling and a wonderful culture, while being embedded in a specific product team.

You’ll manage around 4 people, though this will likely grow to ~7 in the next year. You’ll take ultimate responsibility for the platform, including touching on things like security, testing, documentation and coaching your team, though there are colleagues across the partnership who can support in areas outside of your skillset, e.g., security.

As the tool is geospatial / mapping focused, any experience using or building GIS tools will be hugely beneficial. Knowledge of conservation, rewilding, ecology, biodiversity, or any field within environmental science will also stand out, as will a demonstrable passion for tackling the climate crisis.

The team needs a leader with experience, someone who can manage resources, assess future priorities and requirements, identify gaps within the team skills matrix and maintain calm when deadlines are looming. This platform is the authoritative tool in the sector globally, and the aim is to maintain that prestige and impact.

So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is a role you should apply for.

What are you waiting for?

Product Manager

Role: Product Manager

Location: Fully Remote

Salary:  Up to 70k

This is a brand-new role, you will not be stepping into anyone else’s shoes and will have a completely clean slate to work with. If the idea of being solely responsible for Product hasn’t scared you away, please carry on reading.

You will ideally have worked within the Ed-Tech sector, however, if you have worked with a company in the Education sector then please do get in touch. With a clean slate, you will set the way Product will work in the business, take full control of this, and grow a team as the business grows and develops further.

You will be joining a small team, who are supportive and looking to grow the business and they want you to join them in that vision. You will be responsible for translating the business strategy into product strategy, as well as driving action through the organisation in order to take the products to market.

You will have a proven track record of managing product success and be excited to take full responsibility for strategy and roadmaps to name a few. Ownership is key here, as you will own Product and it will be in your hands to watch it grow and develop.

The role is 100% remote, and the exciting thing about this role is that they want you to be completely included in the business and in order to share the vision, there are EMI share options available. There is also private healthcare.

If this sounds right up your street, please get in touch! ✊

Product Manager – Sustainability

Role:  Product Manager (Sustainability)

Salary:  £50k to £60k per annum base + bonus and benefits

Location:  2 times a week in the West Midlands / Warwickshire during probation (can be largely remote thereafter)

Sector – ESG / Sustainability

You’re a highly talented Product professional.  You build rock-solid roadmaps, are highly data-led and drive product development teams forward to get things delivered.

But are the Products you are currently delivering helping to make the world a better, more sustainable place?

Perhaps that’s becoming increasingly important to you, or at the very least you like the idea of working as a PM at a company with a growing global footprint, super-talented individuals and a track record of progressing careers.

We’ve worked with this company for years and have been proud to see many of our placements go on to great things there.  The feedback from them is always positive and, whilst they have their challenges (as do all fast-growing companies), they treat people well and have everyone bought into the company vision.

In this role you will be looking after a product portfolio of 3 large internally facing products.  You will be supported by two Business Analysts and will be working with a development team based across the UK with some offshore support.

To be clear, whilst there may be some new product development, this role is more concerned with taking the company’s existing products and making them fit for the company’s growth and expansion plans.

If you are the sort of Product Manager who gets their kicks by undertaking deep user research and mapping out competitive markets whilst visioning new products this probably isn’t the role for you!

The company has a wealth of knowledge and experience that you will be able to draw on internally, so this would suit someone who has worked in a more internal delivery-focused Product Management role as opposed to a commercially driven PM background.

Your previous title is not so important, so if you are a Product Manager, a Product Owner or hold any other title, as long as you have a proven track record in developing product roadmaps and working with software development teams to ensure effective delivery of these, then you will be considered for the position.

On offer is a base salary up to £60k, a generous pension scheme, bonus, life assurance and subsidized gym membership.

Please do apply or call us to discuss further!
