Principal Product Manager - IDP & Agentic AI
HybridStaines, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Lead discovery with developers, architects, and platform engineers to build deep partnerships and turn evidence into a prioritized, outcome-driven roadmap. Advocate relentlessly for developer experience by driving API, SDK usability, documentation quality, and onboarding adoption. Translate customer needs and business strategy into clear, testable requirements and acceptance criteria while making prioritization and trade-off calls that balance immediate value with long-term product health. Partner with architects and engineers as an equal to make hard calls faster, use AI as a force multiplier across discovery and analysis, and coach other product managers to lift the team's practice.
Required Qualifications
- Substantial product management experience in B2B enterprise, platform, developer or infrastructure products, with a record of independently owning outcomes at programme or product-line level.
- Proven customer discovery and co-creation skills, and the ability to turn real evidence into a clear roadmap and requirements others build against.
- Enough technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering and architecture — you can read APIs, schemas, logs and code to understand impact (writing production code is not required).
- Confidence making prioritisation and trade-off decisions, and the influence to align engineers, architects and senior stakeholders without authority.
- Excellent communication — you translate technical complexity into business language and business strategy into clear product direction, and present confidently to leadership.
- Experience coaching or mentoring other PMs, and setting standards the team adopts.
- An AI-first way of working, and the judgement to know where AI helps and where it doesn't.
Desired Qualifications
- A genuine product mindset — you think in customer outcomes, adoption and business value, not in features or technology for its own sake.
- Deep obsession with your customers — here, developers, architects and platform engineers — and a track record of advocating for their experience and shifting product direction because of it.
