Product manager role with a focus and background of UI/UX needed.
Build an analytics SaaS platform with a multinational, open minded business.
Client Details
Global Technology Business Covering: E-Commerce, Mobile, Banking / Fin-tech and more
Description
Work on a Web SaaS solution that covers data collection, visualisation, and decision-making support.
Our client is seeking a Product Manager with a strong UI/UX background. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of product strategy, user experience, and data-driven decision-making.
This role is intentionally hybrid. You will own the end‑to‑end experience of the product UI, from problem discovery and interaction design through delivery and post‑launch optimisation. While you will collaborate with engineers and other PMs, you must be capable of independently designing high‑quality prototypes using modern, AI‑assisted design tools.
This role is best suited for a Product Manager who:
-Thinks like a designer
-Designs like a product owner
-Makes decisions grounded in data
Product & UX Ownership
Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the user experience.
Translate complex analytics and data requirements into clear, intuitive prototypes.
Define success metrics and continuously optimise UX based on usage data and feedback.
Hands‑On Design & Prototyping
Independently create wireframes, high‑fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes.
Leverage AI‑assisted tools (e.g., Figma AI, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate design and iteration.
Validate concepts quickly through prototypes before engineering investment.
Note: Designer support is limited. Strong independent design capability is required, not optional.
Cross‑Functional Execution
Partner closely with engineers to ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and well‑implemented.
Write clear PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria with strong UX intent.
Advocate for UX priorities during planning, grooming, and sprint reviews.
Analytics & Data Fluency
Understand and work confidently with analytics concepts, including:
Event tracking
Funnels
Dimensions & metrics
Basic SQL or query‑based data exploration
Monitor feature adoption, behavioural trends, and KPIs to guide product decisions.
Standards, Quality & Compliance
Build and maintain design systems and reusable UI components.
Ensure compliance with accessibility (WCAG) and data privacy standards (GDPR, APPI).
Support localisation and internationalisation requirements across mark+F53:F55ets.
Market Awareness
Conduct competitive analysis across leading analytics platforms (e.g., GA, Amplitude, Adobe Analytics).
Stay current on SaaS UX trends, analytics tooling, and AI‑assisted design workflows.
Job Offer
Hybrid work, cutting edge tech, very collaborative team, interesting product and leading company.
