Job description

Senior Product Manager - Energy

Newcastle (Hybrid Working)
£80,000 – £90,000 + benefits

This is a senior seat at the table, not a backlog babysitting exercise.

We’re working with an established Energy sector leader in a sustained growth phase. Looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the space between commercial intent, delivery discipline, and technical execution. You’ll be the connective thread between senior stakeholders and an in‑house engineering team, bringing structure, cadence, and clarity to how products are delivered.

This role exists to remove friction, embed strong process, and ensure the right things get built well and repeatably.

What you’ll own

• Acting as the primary senior liaison between business leaders and the engineering team
• Owning and evolving the product vision, roadmap, backlog, and delivery priorities
• Translating strategic objectives into clear, structured user stories, acceptance criteria, and Jira artefacts
• Defining and running delivery cadence, sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, and governance
• Partnering with Engineering to manage dependencies, delivery risk, and change control
• Owning QA and release readiness processes, ensuring consistent production quality
• Ensuring products meet commercial objectives, energy‑sector regulations, and internal standards
• Driving continuous improvement of product and delivery processes, tooling, and ways of working

You’ll be expected to challenge scope creep, enforce prioritisation, and introduce structure where delivery starts to drift.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience as a Senior Product Manager / Lead Product Manager
• Strong track record operating in a process‑driven, regulated environment
• Deep understanding of Agile delivery, governance, and delivery control
• Excellent experience working closely with software engineering team
• Commercially astute balancing value, risk, compliance, and speed
• Energy sector experience is a must (Anywhere on the Energy Supply chain)

If you’re ready to play a pivotal role in a scaling and high‑performing organisation we’d love to hear from you.
