Product Manager
Location: Cambridge, UK
Salary: competitive plus an extensive benefits package
Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, flexible hours
Start: ASAP
I joined Red Gate almost 3 years ago, and have never looked back. I now do market-focussed product management, rather than being a powerpoint jockey for senior execs, or spending my life in tactical sales activities. It was the best move of my career . Colin Millerchip, Head of Product Management
We are looking for an experienced IT professional, with a unique blend of business and technical savvy, and the drive to take ownership of a product and make it a market leader.
Your role will be to stay up to date with the marketplace and work with sales, support, development, marketing and customers to define the features of new and current products. Youll set the strategic vision for the products, and will provide detailed guidance to development, user experience, QA and documentation to make sure the right product gets released.
Youll need the enthusiasm to act as a technical evangelist for the product, both internally and externally. This is a strategic role, but youll need the intuition and insight to spot tactical issues that need your involvement.
What were looking for:
A good degree (2:1 or higher) from a good university
A strong interest in the commercial aspects of software
Excellent communication and consensus building skills
Commercial experience including customer-facing roles
A passion for products and customer contact
Ability to correlate ideas from a variety of sources and make informed technical decisions
Ability to present an informal business case to management
Strong creative problem solving skills
Have a strong technical background: knowledge of SQL Server, .NET and Microsoft technologies an advantage
Product management experience in software development organisations an advantage
An understanding of the need for confidentiality and an ability to act accordingly
A willingness to travel nationally and internationally.
You will benefit from:
Bonuses
Free breakfast & lunch
25 days holiday
Contributory Pension Scheme
BUPA Healthcare
BUPA Travel Insurance
Stock Options
Life Assurance
Critical Illness Cover
Income Protection
A relaxed and professional environment
