We’re supporting a rapidly growing advanced manufacturing technology business that is developing next-generation robotic systems for customers across aerospace, defence, automotive, and other high-performance manufacturing sectors.

This is a rare opportunity to join the business at a pivotal stage and take ownership of what could become one of its most important growth areas: software products and digital services.

What you’ll be doing:

• Defining and owning the Software product roadmap (SaaS / Customer Interfaces / Machine Management / ERP Integrations + more)
• Identifying new software opportunities across machine configuration, customer engagement, AI, analytics, automation, and digital service
• Working with engineering teams to prioritise and deliver new software capabilities
• Translating customer and market requirements into commercially viable software products
• Driving agile product development through rapid test, learn, prototype, and iteration cycles
• Defining integration strategies with ERP, MRP, CAD/CAM, and manufacturing systems
• Evaluating build vs buy decisions and managing third-party software partners
• Developing pricing, packaging, and software commercialisation strategies

What we’re looking for:

• Product Management or Product Ownership experience
• Experience working with software products, SaaS platforms, industrial technology, manufacturing systems, or engineering-led products
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience working in agile development environments
• Ability to bridge commercial, customer, and engineering requirement
• Curious, proactive mindset with the ability to identify opportunities and drive change

Ideal background:

This role would suit someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of software, hardware, and innovation. Experience within manufacturing, robotics, industrial technology, automation, engineering software, AI, or connected products would be particularly relevant.
