Product Owner

We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager to join a major PLM implementation programme in London, supporting the delivery of a large-scale technology transformation using Lectra Kubix.

The programme has been running for around 18 months and is now entering a critical phase, with a major system migration and go-live planned for mid-April.

Joining an established team and reporting into a Senior Product Manager, you’ll play a hands-on role in supporting delivery across the PLM implementation, working closely with internal stakeholders, technology teams, vendors and system integrators.

The role:

You’ll be responsible for helping drive the successful delivery of the PLM implementation, with particular focus on the wider technology ecosystem, integrations, data flows and dependencies.

This is a delivery-focused role, so we’re looking for someone who understands how complex PLM implementations work end-to-end, rather than someone whose experience is primarily focused on platform configuration.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the delivery of a major PLM implementation through migration and go-live

• Managing relationships with multiple vendors, system integrators and internal stakeholders

• Managing delivery milestones, risks, dependencies and cutover activities

• Working across system integrations, data flows and wider technology dependencies

• Supporting migration planning and execution

• Identifying and managing delivery risks and issues

• Coordinating across technology, product and business teams to maintain delivery momentum

• Providing hands-on support during a critical phase of the programme

• Working closely with the Senior Product Manager and wider programme team to ensure successful delivery

Candidate Criteria:

We’re looking for a strong Product Manager with experience delivering complex technology implementations and a solid understanding of PLM environments.

You’ll ideally have:

• Strong Product Management experience within complex technology implementations

• Proven experience delivering PLM implementations

• Experience managing multiple vendors, system integrators and internal stakeholders

• A good understanding of system integrations, data flows and technology dependencies

• Experience working with SAP and/or Datasphere would be highly beneficial

• Experience managing migrations, cutovers, risks and key delivery milestones

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

• The ability to quickly understand a complex programme and make an immediate impact

• A hands-on, delivery-focused approach

Desirable experience:

• Experience with Lectra Kubix would be a major advantage.
• Experience within a product-led environment would also be highly beneficial.
• However, candidates with strong transferable PLM implementation and technology delivery experience will be considered.

This is an urgent requirement, so candidates who are immediately or shortly available are particularly encouraged to apply.
