More
We are a long-established business entering the next stage of a major technology and product transformation, with a growing Product team taking ownership of how new products and platforms are shaped and built. We are moving away from rigid delivery processes toward a more fluid approach, with Product doing more of the thinking, shaping, and prototyping before work reaches Engineering. This is a 5-day onsite role based in North Manchester, with a salary of £55,000–£60,000. We are looking for someone who is actively experimenting with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or similar to prototype ideas and accelerate product development in a practical, hands-on way.
