Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager – Scheduling & Optimisation Platform – 12 Month FTC

 

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to take ownership of the implementation and integration of a major new scheduling and optimisation platform for a leading UK retail brand, a high-impact initiative that will transform how home visits and services are delivered to customers nationwide.

 

This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role, ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments where you can shape strategy and get into the detail. You’ll be leading end-to-end delivery, managing an external software partner, and ensuring the rollout lands smoothly across a complex, multi-channel operation.

 

What you’ll be doing

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of a new scheduling and optimisation system - from integration through to launch and adoption.
• Define product vision, strategy, and roadmap for internal-facing tools used across stores, call centres, and operations teams.
• Act as the bridge between the business and external tech providers, translating commercial goals into actionable requirements.
• Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and stakeholders to deliver scalable, API-first solutions that make a measurable impact.
• Influence senior stakeholders across multiple departments to ensure solutions are practical, adopted, and drive real value.

 

What we’re looking for

• Proven track record as a Senior Product Manager delivering complex, tech-enabled projects end-to-end.
• Experience working in retail or B2C environments, ideally with scheduling, optimisation or logistics technology.
• Strong technical fluency,  able to engage confidently with engineers on architecture, APIs, and system design.
• Comfortable working in a scale-up-style environment, wearing multiple hats and rolling up your sleeves when needed.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, from shop floor to senior leadership.

 

This role is a 12 Month Fixed-term contract.  Based in London, they have a hybrid working pattern where you can expect to be in the office 2 days a week.

 

An excellent package is on offer, with a salary up to £90k-£100k for the right person, plus benefits including pension, access to a benefits platform (retail and entertainment discounts), life assurance and more.    

 

If you’re a seasoned Product Manager who enjoys autonomy, ownership, and the challenge of building something transformational - this one’s for you.
