You’ll collaborate across product, engineering, and business teams — turning insight into action and helping build solutions that make a real difference to users.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading workshops to gather and clarify business and functional requirements
• Translating needs into clear, actionable documentation for technical and non-technical teams
• Supporting product teams in defining ROI, goals, and success metrics
• Collaborating closely with developers, designers, and key business stakeholders
• Helping streamline processes, uncover insights, and influence product decisions

What You’ll Bring

• Experience working in agile environments alongside cross‑functional teams
• Strong analytical and data‑led thinking: comfortable digging into details and seeing the bigger picture
• Confident communication across all levels: from developers to directors
• Skilled in workshop facilitation, requirements gathering, and process mapping
• Clear, structured writing and documentation abilities

Why Join?

• Enhanced holiday allowance + birthday leave
• Hybrid working from a modern central Manchester office
• A friendly, values‑led culture that genuinely invests in its teams
