[Hiring] Product Manager/lead, Innovation & New Ventures @Unit4

Role Description

Unit4 builds software for organizations that serve others: in government, education, nonprofits, and professional services. We are investing in our next generation of products, and we are looking for an experienced product manager to take new products from first idea to customers in production.

You will own a product end to end. You will run the discovery, shape the definition, work hand in hand with design and an AI-assisted development team to build it at pace, and keep improving it once it is live. This is a role for someone who has done the full job before and wants to do it again, faster and closer to the customer than most environments allow.

What you will do:

• Own a product through its whole life, not just the launch: discovery and definition, build and launch, then the subsequent releases, improvements, and maintenance that turn a first version into one customers rely on.
• Run discovery and research with customers and prospects to find the problem worth solving, then design, prototype, and test solutions together with them.
• Turn insight into a sharp product definition and clear, well-prioritized requirements.
• Prioritize ruthlessly and own the backlog, the release plan, and the quality bar for your product.
• Partner daily with designers and an AI-assisted development team to build and ship to a high standard.
• Co-design with customers in working sessions alongside our user researcher.
• Design and run discovery processes that scale beyond individual customer conversations, including synthesizing insight from high-volume inputs like conference sessions, multi-customer workshops, or large research cohorts, and turning that signal into clear product direction quickly.
• Stay accountable for whether the product gets adopted, not only whether it ships.

Qualifications

• An experienced product manager. This is not your first product. You have owned products across the full development lifecycle: research and discovery, requirements and definition, design, and launch.
• Deep domain expertise in HR, finance, or project management software; expertise with an ERP is a plus.
• Real comfort working directly with customers, designers, product marketing, and sales.
• A bias to ship and a love of seeing real products in customers’ hands.

Requirements

• AI-native ways of working. You have a personal repository of agents, automations, and skills you’ve built yourself.
• Comfort with ambiguity and pace. You keep one product moving with focus rather than spreading thin.
• A point of view on how AI is changing the products our customers will need.

Benefits

• A culture built on trust and accountability - giving you the freedom and autonomy to be successful and make an impact.
• Balance - with our Flexible Leave Paid Time Off policy, remote working opportunities, Global Wellbeing Days, and other great benefits.
• Growth opportunities - we provide the tools and guidance required so that you can focus on what really matters to you and so, ultimately, you can achieve your best work.
• Talented colleagues, role models and mentors - work, learn and be inspired by some of the best talent in the software industry.
• A commitment to sustainability - with initiatives such as our Environmental, Social, and Governance strategy and Act4Good programme.
• A safe and inclusive working environment – supported by our Employee Resource Groups, which are open to all.
