Role Overview
- Own and maintain the product roadmap, setting and communicating priorities, rationale, and trade-offs clearly to all stakeholders.
- Write high-quality PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that enable engineering to build with confidence and speed.
- Lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release management in close collaboration with the engineering team.
- Define and track product KPIs (adoption, retention, NPS, time-to-value) and use data to iterate and improve.
- Manage the feedback loop between customers, support, sales, and engineering ensuring the right problems get solved in the right order.
AI Product Commercialization
- Own the product strategy for Celtrino’s emerging AI capabilities, taking proof-of-concepts through discovery, validation, and to GA release.
- Define the business model, pricing, and packaging for new AI-powered features (e.g. intelligent document processing, predictive exception management, smart onboarding automation).
- Collaborate with R&D to write detailed product specs, acceptance criteria, and go-to-market briefs for AI feature launches.
- Work with Sales and Marketing to develop compelling narratives around AI value translating technical capability into customer outcomes.
Platform Stability & Technical Debt Management
- Partner with engineering to audit, prioritize, and systematically retire technical debt across the core EDI platform.
- Define and maintain a debt reduction backlog that balances near-term reliability improvements with long-term architectural goals.
- Champion platform health metrics (uptime, latency, defect rates) and embed them into sprint reviews and OKR cycles.
- Build the case for infrastructure investments with clear business impact framing for engineering and leadership audiences.
Market Research & Competitive Intelligence
- Conduct structured customer discovery interviews and analyze support data to surface unmet needs and prioritization signals.
- Map the competitive landscape across EDI, supply chain automation, and adjacent AI/automation platforms, track competitor roadmaps and pricing moves.
- Monitor regulatory shifts (e.g. e-invoicing mandates, Peppol expansion, NHS procurement frameworks) and translate them into product opportunities.
- Produce regular market insight reports for leadership and sales to inform positioning and pipeline strategy.
Requirements
- 4–8 years of product management experience in a B2B SaaS or managed services environment.
- Experience taking AI/ML features from concept or R&D prototype to commercial launch.
- Track record of successfully managing technical debt programmes alongside feature delivery.
- Strong market research and competitive analysis skills comfortable in both qualitative discovery and quantitative analysis.
- Excellent written communication: able to write crisp PRDs, executive summaries, and commercial narratives.
- Comfortable engaging directly with engineering at a technical level (APIs, data models, integration architecture).
- Data-driven: confident defining success metrics and using them to make and defend prioritization decisions.
- Comfortable operating with autonomy in a lean, fast-moving team where you’ll wear multiple hats.
Nice to Have:
- Domain knowledge in EDI, supply chain, ERP integration, or procurement technology.
- Understanding of e-invoicing standards and regulatory trends (Peppol, EN16931, Making Tax Digital).
Tech Stack
Benefits
- Competitive salary with performance-linked incentives tied to product and business outcomes.
- Real ownership: a genuine product mandate, not a feature factory.
- AI-first engineering culture: an active R&D pipeline and appetite to build intelligent product capabilities.
- Commercial context: direct access to customers, sales, and revenue data to ground every product decision.
- Supportive leadership: transparent MD and a leadership team invested in building the right product the right way.
- Clear growth path: as Celtrino scales its product portfolio, so does the scope of this role with a natural path to VP Product.
