Job description

Locate a Locum’s mission and vision is to mobilise the world’s healthcare workforce, enabling delivery of the right person, to the right place at the right time - when it matters most.

Our product mission is to create simple solutions that deliver exceptional outcomes.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager who combines technical knowledge with complete product ownership. In this role, you won’t just manage tickets or passively collect feature requests, you will have complete end-to-end ownership over your assigned product domain - shaping solutions, defining technical boundaries, managing development workflows and driving high-impact outcomes that scale our platform.

How We Work in Product & Engineering

At Locate a Locum, we avoid bloated backlogs, endless two-week sprint treadmills, and mid-cycle interruptions. We believe in giving teams the focus and clarity needed to ship meaningful work consistently.

• Fixed Time, Variable Scope: We work in focused 6-week release cycles, bounded by a strict time budget. Instead of estimating how long a solution will take, we set an “appetite” - defining how much time an idea is worth and design the most suitable solution that provides value within that window.
• Up-Front Problem Shaping: Before committing development time, product managers work out-of-cycle to de-risk projects. You will define core user flows, solve structural technical questions and establish clear “no-gos” so build teams can hit the ground running.
• True Team Autonomy: Once a cycle kicks off, we hand complete responsibility to small, cross-functional teams (development and QA). We don’t micromanage tasks or assign tickets; we trust the team to execute the concept, make trade-offs, and deliver vertical, working slices of software early.
• Focus on Solved vs Unsolved: We measure real progress by evaluating what is known versus unknown, using visual tracking rather than arbitrary “percent complete” metrics or story points.
• Continual Check-Ins: Throughout the 6 week build cycle, development/product checkins allow progress updates, validation of the direction of the initial solution and highlighting and resolution of any risks that come to light during the implementation phase.
• Continual Improvement: Rather than cooldown periods to fix bugs or refactor code, we emphasise high quality delivery first time, with continual improvements to code and infrastructure throughout. This ensures that delivered projects are fully complete and signed off within the 6 week cycle.

Job Responsibilities

• Roadmap & Strategy Ownership: Translate company objectives into a clear, prioritised product strategy. Own your product roadmap end-to-end, balancing inputs from customers, Sales, Customer Success and Engineering.
• Technical Problem Shaping: Leverage your technical background to evaluate system constraints, APIs, and data models alongside user design. Write concrete, well-scoped project pitches that define problems, solutions and boundaries before work is scheduled.
• Development Workflow Management: Lead project execution through cycle-based delivery. Guide development teams through task discovery, progress tracking and trimming non-essential scope to protect the release date.
• Customer & Commercial Focus: Act as the voice of the customer. Combine user research, data analysis, and commercial awareness to ensure we build features that drive user adoption, retention and revenue growth.
• Stakeholder Alignment: Communicate product direction, solution boundaries, and release outcomes clearly across Senior Leadership, Sales, Customer Success and Operations.
• Metrics & Outcomes: Define KPIs for feature success, tracking post-launch adoption and platform performance to inform future strategy.

Job Requirements

• 8+ years in Product Management with a proven track record of shipping products at scale.
• Prior experience as a Software Engineer, Developer or Solutions Architect or demonstrated technical fluency with APIs, database models, system architecture and technical constraints.
• Hands-on mobile product experience (iOS/Android) spanning the entire lifecycle from discovery through to release.
• Commercial experience across pricing and packaging, forecasting, conversion funnels and P&L awareness.
• Demonstrated experience in evidence-led discovery and execution (Jobs-to-be-Done, user interviews, surveys, cohort analysis and experimentation).
• Experience managing and motivating cross-functional development teams to deliver at pace.
• Proven capability managing and aligning stakeholders across Senior Leadership, Sales, Customer Success, Operations and Compliance.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - essential for writing structured pitches, documenting technical boundaries, and async alignment.

Nice-To-Haves

• Experience in Healthcare, Workforce Management, HR Tech or Recruitment platforms.
