Role Overview 🔎

We have several successful products which help lawyers conduct due diligence for property transactions with unprecedented efficiency of a 70% savings .

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager who has worked on and led the development of AI and Saas based products in the past. We want this person to deeply understand the interplay between engineering, data science and domain expertise.

• Work with a dynamic team consisting of Software Engineerings, Data Scientists, and Domain Expertsin a fast growing start-up, in order to devise the most feasible route to market for new features within a core part of the product offering
• Regularly conduct insightful user interviews both online and at customers offices around the UK to better understand use cases and gather customer feedback so it can be turned into requirements for the team to develop
• Relentlessly prioritise a roadmap and keep it up-to-date so that it can be shared at a high-level with the leadership and business development teams, as well as at a low-level so the team knows exactly what to work on next and for months into the future

Requirements

You should apply if: ✍️

• You have at least 4 years in a Product Management role
• You have previously built AI and Saas and products and have a track record of significantly impacting a business’s revenue
• You have a keen interest in utilising the latest in ML/AI technologies (including Generative AI and LLMs) to transform the real estate industry for the better
• You’re incredibly driven and want the opportunity to lead a significant part of Orbital Witness’s future growth. You also want to be held accountable for driving growth and will personally champion the setting up, sticking to and achieving of quarterly targets
• You are not intimidated by wearing different hats and enjoy context switching between being product-focused one day and then tackling hard data science or prompt engineering challenges the next. You’re keen to understand specific legal real estate issues and their domain language, perform high-level stakeholder management around business outcomes, like to drive revenue growth and enjoy exploring detailed metrics / data analysis! You can assimilate all this information into a concise and easy to understand roadmap that the team and the wider business believes in
• You foster healthy debate within the team so the right outcome is achieved not just any outcome. You should have a “strong opinions weakly held” mentality so that you can lead the team effectively but also change your opinion when it’s wrong #QuestionOrCommit

• You enjoy making adjustments to the delivery process of shipping code into production so the team is hyper efficient. You also clearly understand the trade-offs with building a feature complete product versus an MVP and your bias is to almost always optimise for how quickly you can get something in front of customers to use.
• You care about building a product customers love and how to solve the actual problems they have above all else.
