Principal Product Manager - Internal Developer Platform

Job Description

Our customers are internal and technical: developers, architects, platform engineers, system administrators

and implementation teams.

You'll understand their workflows, friction points and adoption barriers

deeply, build named relationships with the ones who matter most, and treat their day-to-day

experience — from APIs and SDKs to documentation and onboarding — as the truest measure of

whether the product is working.

Own the problem, the customer and the outcomes for a programme or product line — you set the what and the why, and partner with engineering and architects on the how.

• Live in your customers' world — lead discovery with developers, architects and platform

engineers, build deep named partnerships, and turn real evidence into a prioritised, outcomedriven roadmap.

• Advocate relentlessly for developer experience — API and SDK usability, documentation

quality, onboarding and adoption — as the measure of product success, and get ahead of

needs customers haven't yet named.

• Translate customer needs and business strategy into clear, testable requirements and

acceptance criteria the team can build against with confidence — and set the standard for

how that's done across the team.

• Make the prioritisation and trade-off calls that balance immediate customer value with longterm product health, drawing on technical trade-offs such as build vs buy, scalability and

extensibility without getting lost in them.

• Use AI as a force multiplier across discovery, analysis and documentation, and raise the bar

for how the team applies it — while the product judgement stays yours.

• Partner with architects and engineers as an equal, challenge assumptions constructively, and

be the product partner they seek out to make hard calls faster and with less friction.

• Coach and mentor other product managers, share what you learn, and lift the practice around

you rather than holding knowledge to yourself

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.

• 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.
