As a Product Manager within Platform Engineering, you will be responsible for defining and executing the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our Internal Developer Platform (IDP), developer experience initiatives, platform automation, and emerging AI capabilities. You will ensure platform investments deliver measurable business value, improve engineering productivity, accelerate software delivery, and provide a scalable foundation for future growth.

Reporting to the Head of Platform Engineering, you will work closely with engineering, architecture, security, product, and operational teams to identify opportunities, prioritise outcomes, and drive adoption of platform capabilities across the organisation. You will act as the bridge between business objectives and technical delivery, ensuring platform engineering efforts remain aligned to organisational goals.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our engineering ecosystem, driving platform strategy, developer experience, cloud native adoption, and Agentic AI capabilities that empower colleagues across Product and Technology.

• Drive the adoption and continuous evolution of self service platform capabilities, including infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, environment management, and developer workflows.
• Define success metrics and key performance indicators such as deployment frequency, lead time for change, developer satisfaction, platform adoption, service reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Build and maintain a prioritised platform backlog based on business value, engineering feedback, technical risk, and strategic outcomes.
• Lead discovery activities, stakeholder engagement, user research, and platform maturity assessments to inform roadmap decisions.
• Champion developer experience across the organisation, improving onboarding, service creation, documentation, templates, and engineering workflows.
• Define and drive the strategy for Agentic AI capabilities that accelerate colleagues across Product and Technology through intelligent workflows, automation, decision support, and operational assistance.
• Work with engineering teams to identify and deliver AI powered opportunities that improve productivity, reduce manual effort, and enhance platform operations.

• Develop business cases and value frameworks for platform investments, demonstrating measurable return on investment and engineering effectiveness improvements.
• Communicate platform strategy, roadmap progress, adoption metrics, and outcomes to senior stakeholders and leadership teams.
• Monitor industry trends and emerging technologies across Platform Engineering, Internal Developer Platforms, Cloud Native technologies, Developer Experience, and AI to inform future platform direction.
