Lead Product Manager in London

We’re looking for a Lead Product Manager to lead Cure, owning its strategy, roadmap, and commercial performance. You’ll set the direction for a portfolio spanning embedded sensors, reusable hardware, and associated software, and be accountable for the P&L and the achievement of Cure's business goals. Reporting to the VP of Product, you’ll lead a multi‑disciplinary team of engineers in‑house working closely with your team’s tech lead. You will manage distributed third‑party partners who design our physical products and work closely with the Operations team who manage partners who produce them. You’ll also collaborate with our Novel Sensing R&D team to conceptualise and validate new sensing modalities, turning early research into products that create real and lasting value for customers. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software, who can manage complexity across product, commercial and partner relationships, and who is energised by the challenge of scaling a product that is already winning in the market.

• Lead a multi‑disciplinary team of hardware and software engineers, working closely with the tech lead for the team, fostering a culture of craft, collaboration and accountability.
• Work effectively across disciplines, from firmware and electronics through to cloud software and UX, understanding enough of each to make good decisions and support your team.
• Form and manage relationships with third‑party research & development partners to design, build and deliver sensor products at scale and quality.
• Collaborate with our Operations team, who manage supply chain and production partners, on new product introductions and managing product costs and margins.
• Define, manage and continuously improve working models with partners to get products to market as quickly and cost‑effectively as possible, without compromising on quality.
• Partner closely with Converge’s Novel Sensing R&D team to explore and validate new sensing modalities that could become the next generation of Cure products.
• Bridge the gap between early‑stage research and commercial product development, defining the criteria for what gets productised and shaping how it gets to market.

Requirements

• Proven experience leading hardware and software products end‑to‑end, from concept through to commercial launch and in‑market scaling.
• Experience owning a P&L or taking meaningful accountability for the commercial performance of a product or portfolio.
• A track record of getting the most out of outsourced manufacturing or development partners to bring physical products to market.
