Full description

Waracle are looking for a Mid-Level Product Manager for an exciting new role joining our world-class digital technology consultancy and home to a diverse, smart, curious and ambitious community of specialists in technology-driven transformation.

We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.

We champion modern, balanced working and offer a hybrid setup, asking you to collaborate in person 2 days a week from either our Glasgow or Dundee offices.

Are you passionate about shaping digital products that make a real difference? As a Product Manager at Waracle, you will take ownership of exciting digital workstreams, collaborating closely with brilliant engineering, design, and delivery teams to bring impactful ideas to life.

You won't be doing this alone—from day one, you’ll be welcomed into our supportive Product Community of Practice. You'll be paired with a dedicated mentor, guided through a personalised onboarding plan, and given access to clear pathways for career growth. If you thrive in a collaborative, learning-focused environment where your ideas are valued and your growth is championed, this is the place for you.

As a Product Manager, your day-to-day focus will include:

  • Product Strategy & Vision: Owning the vision and direction for product features, defining scope, and using both data and user insights to understand the market landscape.
  • Discovery & Execution: Leading collaborative discovery work alongside Design and Tech Leads to turn complex challenges into clear, actionable user stories.
  • Backlog & Roadmap Management: Balancing user needs, business goals, and delivery effort to keep a well-prioritized, high-quality product backlog.
  • Data-Informed Decisions: Establishing metrics and running experiments to guide choices backed by evidence and real user behavior.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Building strong, trusting relationships with client stakeholders, communicating progress and risks transparently, and supporting your team.
  • Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Facilitating workshops and working side-by-side with researchers, designers, and engineers to deliver clear, meaningful outcomes.
  • Practice & Community Contribution: Participating in our internal Bet Teams, community sessions, and continuous learning initiatives to grow your craft and support the community.

What You'll Bring

We value curiosity, adaptability, and a proactive mindset. You don’t need to tick every single box to be a great fit, but we are looking for:

  • Product & Delivery Experience: A background in product management or digital product delivery, with a strong care for the craft of user story creation and backlog care.
  • Agile Understanding: Familiarity with agile principles and prioritisation techniques (such as MoSCoW or RICE).
  • Communication & Collaboration: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a natural ability to bring multidisciplinary teams together.
  • Data & Curiosity: A healthy curiosity for metrics, testing hypotheses, and using data to inform decisions.
  • Growth Mindset: A proactive, self-directed approach to learning, with the confidence to ask questions and take ownership of your personal development.
  • Industry Context (Bonus): Experience working within regulated sectors (like healthcare or financial services) is a plus, but certainly not essential!

Our Recruitment Process

The recruitment process you can expect for this role is an initial call with your dedicated Talent Acquisition Partner who will chat with you about Waracle, what you are looking for in a new position, the salary for the role, notice period, and benefits (the important stuff!).

After that, you'll be invited to a two-stage interview process where you have an opportunity to find out more about the role and showcase your skills and experience. Your Talent Acquisition Partner will guide you through the whole process to your first day with us.

Our Benefits

We believe in supporting our team, inside and outside of work. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:

  • Rest & Recharge: You'll receive 27 days of annual leave, plus 8 bank holidays, totaling 35 days of holiday to unwind and pursue your passions.
  • Financial Future & Security: Plan for retirement with our company-matched 5% pension contribution. For added peace of mind, we also offer a Death in Service benefit, providing 2 x your annual salary for your loved ones.
  • Health & Wellness: Our Medicash Health Cash Plans help cover everyday healthcare costs, complemented by an Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support, and Group Sickness Cover for peace of mind.
  • Flexible Working: We champion hybrid working, providing a home office setup budget to ensure you're comfortable and productive wherever you are.
  • Learning & Development: Invest in yourself with access to Udemy Business and a dedicated learning and development budget for continuous growth.
  • Lifestyle Perks: Make the most of our Cycle to Work Scheme, and enjoy exclusive gym and retail discounts.
  • Family First: Our enhanced parental leave policies include support for fertility journeys, recognising diverse family needs.
  • Community & Connection: We foster a vibrant culture with regular fun meet-ups and lunch on us in the office once a month. You'll also have the opportunity to make a local impact through Spirit of Waracle, our initiative for getting involved in charitable causes locally, building strong team bonds and giving back.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, gender, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
