About this opportunity:
We are looking for a Product Manager to turn user needs, research and strategic priorities into clear, outcome-focused Epics that are ready for quarterly planning and investment decisions. You will establish a consistent approach to product discovery and Epic readiness for the SSP product portfolio. This includes facilitating discovery, documenting end-to-end user journeys, translating evidence into concise Epic briefs and maintaining traceability from user problems to delivery outcomes and post-delivery learning.
You will work closely with a Senior Product Manager, technical Product Owners, Solution Architects, User Research and Experience, Analytics, Delivery and other stakeholders. The role is suited to someone who combines user-centred discovery, clear product writing and strong product operations, while remaining focused on user and business outcomes rather than prescribing technical solutions.

The skills you bring:
• 8-10 years of experience in Product Management, Product Discovery, Service Design or user-centred Product Development.• Experience leading discovery for complex enterprise, platform or SaaS products.• Strong skills in user-journey mapping, service design and synthesising research and other evidence.• The ability to write concise problem statements, outcomes, success measures, scope boundaries and acceptance assumptions.• Practical experience with Agile delivery, quarterly or Planning Increment (PI) planning, backlog governance and readiness criteria.• Strong working knowledge of Jira and Confluence, including dashboards, traceability and decision records.• The ability to collaborate effectively with senior architects and technical Product Owners while remaining focused on user and business needs.• Excellent written communication, stakeholder-management and constructive challenge skills.• A sound understanding of User Experience principles and the ability to work effectively with design teams.• The ability to independently lead discovery and Epic readiness while partnering with senior product leaders on strategic priorities.• Experience or certification in Design Thinking, Service Design, SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager, PSPO or CSPO is beneficial.
