Job description

Central London | Hybrid (3 days min, flexible which)

You'd be Employee #1 in this role.

No handover. No inherited backlog. No "here's how we've always done it." Our client... A fast-growing B2B SaaS scale-up in retail-tech / martech, already trusted by major global retail brands and gearing up for Series A next year - has never had a dedicated PM. You'd build the function from scratch.

This isn't a roadmap job. It's a get-it-shipped job. You'll sit inside requirements, sprint delivery, QA and release - close to the detail, close to Engineering, close to the outcome.

You’ll own:

• Turning strategy into validated, de-risked delivery plans
• Sprint ceremonies, backlog, blockers - start to finish
• Design sign-off before work hits a sprint
• Release quality - you write the test plans, you catch what slips through
• The documentation that makes the whole thing scale

You are:

• Commercial experience in Product Management - B2B SaaS preferred, retail-tech/martech a bonus
• Technical enough to collaborate with Software Engineers
• A sharp, fast writer, a clean ticket and a clear process doc, same morning
• Self-directed. You see what's next before someone tells you
• A builder, not a maintainer

One non-negotiable:

genuine fluency with AI tools. This team runs on AI day-to-day - tickets, docs, prototyping, all of it. If that excites you, you'll thrive. If you've never touched it, this isn't your role.

Why it's worth a conversation:

Real ownership. Real equity. A seat at the table with Product, Design, Engineering and senior leadership from day one, in a small, fast, low-bureaucracy team where your fingerprints are on everything you touch.

This is a priority search - we're moving fast. If this is you, let's talk. Confidentially.
