Job description

At Beam, you get to do work that matters for the world. We’re solving the world's toughest social problems with an incredible team, tech and AI. And we’re growing fast

It’s not easy. Nothing worth doing ever is.

Join a company at the forefront of social impact, driving first-of-its-kind positive change. You’ll be part of a high-performance culture where you'll make a huge impact, rapidly progress your career, and truly enjoy your work.

From top-tier coaching and personal development budgets to competitive salaries, we take care of everyone who works at Beam.

We’ve already seen incredible growth from our Beam Notes product, helping frontline workers save over 8 hours of admin per week. From social workers and NHS clinicians to mental health practitioners and safeguarding specialists, nearly 100,000 frontline workers across the UK, US and Australia are now using Beam Notes regularly to deliver faster, more human-centred support.

We’re looking for a Product Lead to help bring Beam’s AI to millions of frontline workers across the UK, US, Europe and Australia.

You’ll report to Seb, our co-founder, and work closely with engineers and designers to build AI products that solve real operational problems in sectors like employment, housing and social care.

This is a hands‑on product role for someone who loves building.

You’ll spend time:

• shipping product quickly
• working closely with engineers on AI capabilities
• talking directly to users in the field
• iterating rapidly based on real usage
• and raising the bar for product quality and craft

We believe speed is a competitive advantage - especially in the AI era. The best way to discover great products is by shipping, learning and iterating quickly.

If you’re excited by the idea of building AI products that solve messy, real-world problems - not just demos or internal automations - you’ll thrive.

You will:

• Ship quickly and iterate constantly - You’re comfortable operating in fast cycles of discovery and delivery. Rather than spending weeks scoping and writing lengthy specs, you prefer building, testing and learning with real users.
• Obsess over product craft - You care deeply about the details that make products exceptional - speed, reliability, UX clarity, and how tools actually fit into real workflows.
• Work directly with users - You’ll spend time travelling to offices to watch practitioners use the product - understanding how their work actually happens so we can build AI tools that genuinely help.
• Use AI to solve real problems - You’ll work closely with engineers to turn the latest model capabilities into practical, high-impact features that reduce admin and unlock better services.
• Set ambitious goals - You define clear outcomes and hold yourself - and your team - accountable for delivering them.
• Help shape what Beam builds next - You’ll influence product strategy based on what you learn from users, partners and the market.

We’re looking for a Product Lead who

• Cares about the mission: You want your work to matter. You're intrigued by the opportunity to build AI applications that improve essential public services.
• Has a high‑growth, product‑first background: You have cut your teeth in fast‑paced, early‑stage startups or at product‑first tech giants. You know how to navigate scale, operate with extreme speed, and hold a very high bar for product craft.
• Is a data‑led, inspiring communicator: You are a high‑energy, inspiring speaker who aligns and motivates teams using compelling presentations and data‑driven storytelling.
• Focuses on measurable outcomes: You take pride in shipping high‑quality products with measurable results for frontline workers and sweating the details that make them truly useful.
• Values meticulous execution: You possess world‑class project management skills. You don’t just dream up product ideas; you build the structured, detailed roadmaps and execution plans required to actually get them across the finish line.
• Has a generalist mindset: It's an exciting time to join with new opportunities across the business and you're keen to work on everything from commercial projects, technical tooling, data‑led products and everything in between.
