Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone who wants to work on stuff that matters, help us build things that make a real impact, and push us forward when it comes to innovation, without losing sight of the basics
- Solid experience in a Product Manager role (or something very similar)
- A good grasp of how AI tools work and where they can (and can’t) be helpful
- Comfortable managing the end-to-end product process and not afraid to get into the detail
- Confident working cross-functionally with engineers, designers and other teams
- Able to translate the complex into simple, understandable ideas
- Curious, collaborative, and keen to make things better
- Able to use influence and authority to get things done even outside of immediate remit
- Not precious about being right — just focused on getting to the best outcome
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Product Manager to support across all layers of product, from high-level strategy to getting stuck into the details and working things through with design and engineering
- The day-to-day will cover everything from shaping the roadmap and writing requirements to testing releases and figuring out what to build next
- You'll be helping us ship better features, faster, and making sure what we’re building actually works for the people we’re building it for. On top of that, we’re also looking for someone who’s confident with AI
- That doesn’t mean being a data scientist, but you’ll need to be curious, hands-on, and excited about finding useful ways to apply AI across the business and within our products
- We’ve got a few AI-powered features already, and we’re keen to do more — in a way that’s smart, safe and actually helpful
- Turn strategic goals into clear product requirements that devs and designers can actually work with
- Define user stories, workflows and acceptance criteria
- Own the product lifecycle — from discovery and research through to delivery and iteration
- Help run user research and gather insights to make sure we’re solving the right problems
- Work with the Head of Product to shape and prioritise the roadmap
- Collaborate closely with design and engineering to build and ship quality features
- Keep stakeholders in the loop and manage expectations without promising the earth
- Track success metrics and user feedback to keep improving what we’ve built
- Stay curious about the market and keep an eye on what others are doing
- Be a bridge between technical teams and the rest of the business
- Spot ways AI can be used to improve how we work, whether that’s content creation, reporting, customer support or something else entirely
- Help shape and improve our AI-powered features for students and customers
- Be the go-to person for practical AI adoption internally, helping other teams understand what’s possible and where it’s worth exploring
- Keep up to date with new tools and trends, and bring useful stuff to the table
- Highly competent at designing new and improved processes and working with department heads to use and embed AI solutions to increase efficiency

Our take
Working out where to start when looking for higher education or work experience opportunities can be tough. Springpod’s aim is to make it that bit easier, with its opportunities platform for young people.
Think LinkedIn for Gen Z - young people build their profile and CV and can browse opportunities from big name businesses and institutions. The platform helps your business or institution build brand-specific campaigns, lead virtual events or partner with existing careers fairs to help reach out to an online generation.
The scale of its partnerships speak to its success. With over 150,000 students in the UK browsing the platform to find opportunities from the Universities of Oxford, Durham, Southampton and many more, as well as placement from companies like Vodafone, Deloitte, the NHS, Jaguar Landrover, Barclays and Nestlé.
Springpod was awarded £4 million in Series A funding in 2023, and will use this investment to further enhance its platform for young people.
