Job description

Portfolio Product Manager – Geospatial Applications

About the role

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced product leader with a strong track record of
managing Product Owners and building robust, quantitative business cases to lead a portfolio of
geospatial and environmental software products. You will be accountable for the overall vision,
strategy, roadmap, and commercial success of a suite of geospatial software products, including
rigorous cost/benefit analysis and investment prioritisation across the portfolio, covering
groundMapper, CAMS, CMSi, and HBMSR, alongside other associated software solutions.

The role combines strategic product leadership with stakeholder engagement and portfolio coordination
across multiple product teams. Reporting into this role will be a number of dedicated Product Owners,
each responsible for the day-to-day delivery and backlog management of individual products. You will
directly manage this team, setting objectives, providing regular performance feedback and coaching,
and holding Product Owners accountable for delivery against agreed roadmaps and business cases.

You will work closely with customers, engineering, sales, marketing, operations, and senior leadership
to ensure the products continue to meet market demands, deliver customer value, and align with wider
business objectives.

We are looking to hire exceptional people who have the expertise and confidence to operate with a
high degree of autonomy and leadership, including proven experience managing and developing
Product Owners or similar product delivery professionals. The role requires strong communication,
quantitative commercial and financial acumen — including building and defending cost/benefit cases
and ROI models — strategic thinking, and the ability to balance customer needs with business
priorities.

Although you will be expected to hit the ground running, Idox will provide the mentoring and
development you need to succeed as a member of the team.
