Who we're looking for

If you get really excited by coming up with technology solutions for interesting problems; if you're curious about finding ways to do things better; if you're a self-starter motivated by getting the job done to a high standard; then this company could be the right fit for you.

We're looking for someone with a minimum of 2-3 years of product management experience working directly with software engineering teams, and experience working with clients in a B2B setting would be preferable. Previous experience of the social housing sector is desirable but by no means essential.
