Lead Product Manager

Join us! 🚀About The Role

As a Lead Product Manager at Futurice, you’ll be working closely with our clients and cross-disciplinary teams to shape product strategy, create roadmaps, and lead delivery through agile best practices.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be deeply involved from discovery through design and implementation, often embedded with a single client team to provide continuity, leadership, and impact. You’ll be in pivotal client-facing positions, strengthening both delivery and long-term relationships.

This Is a Hands-on, Collaborative Role Where You’ll

• Take a hands-on Product Owner/Manager role, leading strategy, roadmaps, and backlog management.
• Guide client teams through the full product lifecycle — discovery, design, build, and iteration.
• Coach client-side PMs and POs, helping them adopt agile and product best practices.
• Clearly articulate concepts like MVP vs POC vs Pilot vs Iteration — and when to use each.
• Use AI tools and approaches in practice to enhance decision-making, delivery, and product outcomes.
• Work in enterprise-scale environments, navigating complexity and multiple stakeholders.
• Act as a trusted partner for clients, often the main day-to-day contact, ensuring alignment and delivery success.

Skills & Requirements

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Strong hands-on Product Owner and Product Manager experience.
• Deep knowledge of agile best practices and proven track record of applying them in consulting organisations/agencies.
• Experience leading the formulation of product strategy, roadmap, and implementation backlog.
• Ability to coach and influence client-side PMs/POs.
• Experience working across the full lifecycle in enterprise or agency contexts, ideally where product/agile practices were being established for the first time.
• Evidence of using AI in your product role (e.g. in strategy, delivery, or optimisation).
• A collaborative, forward-thinking attitude — eager to break silos, move things forward, and get products to market.

Nice-to-haves

• Familiarity with coaching teams through digital transformation.
