[Hiring] Product Manager @Aphex

Role Description

We're looking for a Product Manager to own our Insight & Data area — the measurement layer of the Aphex platform. You'll report directly to the Head of Product and lead a squad of ~6 engineers that flexes with scope.

The opportunity:

• Aphex captures unique granular, structured data about how major projects actually execute.
• This dataset includes daily records of coordination, progress, constraints, and the gap between plan and reality.
• Our thesis is that the behaviours teams run are the leading indicators of project performance.
• Measuring those routines, scoring them, and connecting them to outcomes is the core intellectual problem of this role.

Your two customers:

• The user: Signals surfaced inside their existing workflow that change behaviour on site.
• Aphex itself: Your measurement system is the evidence layer for our own product decisions.

Your charter — what you own:

• The core measures: canonical, tool-agnostic definitions of project and user behaviour.
• The data platform: pipelines and aggregated data models.
• MCP and the API surface: how customers and AI tools access their data.
• Eval frameworks for the AI agents that consume this data.
• The org/admin surfaces: admin console, org-level insights, report sharing, request-access.
• Activation as an outcome: instrumenting and driving the behaviours that make projects stick.

Explicitly not yours:

• The daily-cycle workflow itself — owned by the Planner and Diary teams.
• In-workflow rendering of your signals — you own the signal contract; the surface teams build the moments.

What You'll Do

• Own the measurement system.
• Define, defend, and version the core measures of project behaviour and performance.
• Connect behavioural routines to outcomes — build the evidence for what actually predicts delivery.
• Make the measures self-serve for users, customer teams, and internal product/GTM teams.
• Own delivery: Run discovery through QA to launch with your engineering team.
• Write specs and briefs your team can execute against.
• Independently sanity-check sequencing and estimates; challenge what doesn't smell right.
• Make daily trade-off calls on scope, timeline, and quality.
• Own the platform: Data pipelines, aggregated models, and the API/MCP access layer.
• Ensure platform reliability — major projects depend on accurate, accessible data.
• Partner across the company: Publish signal contracts the Planner and Diary teams build against.
• Work with CS and Solution Engineers on how customers want to use their data.
• Feed product decision making across the org with evidence, not opinion.

About You

Essential:

• A measurement background: defined metrics systems, built or evaluated data pipelines.
• Product ownership: owned a product or platform area standalone.
• Technical depth to interrogate: pressure-test an engineering estimate.
• Track record shipping data products, analytics, or platform work with quality.
• Remote-first operator: writes clearly, documents decisions, communicates proactively.

Highly valued:

• Behavioural analytics, activation/retention instrumentation, or product-led growth measurement.
• Experience with AI/agent products and evaluation frameworks.
• Vertical SaaS or construction/industrial experience.
• Experience making internal teams evidence-driven.

This role isn't:

• A dashboard factory — building signals into the workflow itself.
• Pure strategy — this is hands-on delivery.
• Diluted by a layer above you — you'll report straight to the Head of Product.
• A role where the brief always arrives fully resolved — you'll often be deciding with incomplete information.

What We Offer

• Flexible/remote work across UK and Australian time zones, with WeWork access.
• One annual all-expenses-paid international team offsite.
• An Aphex social budget.
• £500 annual training allowance and access to our Emerging Leaders programme.
• Paid parental leave.
• MindFi EAP access.
• Employee Referral Program.
• Your personal Lego welcome kit & Aphex swag.
