• Ethernet / IP networking
• Network timing, synchronisation, performance, or validation
• Bringing technical products to market (GTM) in complex engineering environments

The role

• Product strategy, vision, and roadmap for technical test solutions
• Customer discovery with network operators, equipment vendors, and partners
• Translating complex technical requirements into clear development priorities
• Go-to-market strategy, positioning, and value messaging
• Supporting sales, product demos, and representing the business at industry events

This is a hands‑on, technical product role, you’ll need to be comfortable engaging directly with engineers and technically sophisticated customers.

Required background

• 5+ years in Product Management (or closely related product leadership role)
• Strong industry experience in telecoms, datacoms, networking, or test & measurement
• Proven ownership of technical product roadmaps & GTM
• Degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or similar
• Comfortable with international travel (~25%)

Location & package

• Hybrid role based near Edinburgh
• Relocation assistance available
• Competitive salary plus bonus, share scheme, private healthcare, income protection, life insurance, and excellent holidays
