Are you a hands‑on Product Manager (or aspiring to be a Product Manager) who thrives in variety, pace and real impact?

At A‑SAFE, our Product Managers play a pivotal role in shaping, defining and delivering innovative products across a complex, multi‑layered technology stack, from advanced polymer engineering through to IoT‑enabled safety systems. This is a broad, hands‑on role where you’ll influence everything from early‑stage market discovery to post‑launch product performance across a truly global portfolio.

This isn’t a narrow, single‑layer PM role. You’ll operate across all layers, partnering with Engineering, Operations, Commercial and Marketing to turn market problems into launched products that perform in the real world.

• Frame market opportunities through research, customer insight and competitor analysis, feeding data‑driven recommendations into the roadmap.
• Define products end‑to‑end with clear briefs, performance specs, certification strategies and business cases that align feasibility, cost and customer value.
• Drive governance across multiple programmes, managing risk, dependencies and decision forums as products move through gated NPI and Go‑To‑Market.
• Commercialise with purpose, collaborate on value propositions, pricing, positioning and launch plans with Sales Enablement and Marketing.
• Own post‑launch performance, monitor adoption, margins and feedback; propose cost‑down, quality and spec improvements to keep products winning in the field.
• Work across the stack, from polymer components and mechanical assemblies to edge devices and digital infrastructure, bringing structure to a fast‑changing environment.

• We welcome Product Managers from a range of routes i.e. engineering (mechanical/electrical/mechatronics), technical sales/commercial roles with product exposure, or product/technical marketing with strong market insight.
  • If you bring the right aptitude, judgement and drive, we’ll back your growth.
• Strong technical aptitude; credible with R&D, Engineering, Testing and Operations.
• Track record operating through formal NPI / gated development and Go‑To‑Market frameworks.
• Ability to turn market insight into structured, prioritised requirements and clear trade‑offs.
• Commercial awareness, pricing, margin and business casing.
• Excellent cross‑functional communication and stakeholder management across regions and disciplines.
• Comfortable with pace, ambiguity and change, context can switch quickly and you switch with it.

• Adaptability & resilience: you’re energised by changing priorities, not derailed by them.
• Growth mindset: you seek challenge, learn fast and embrace constructive feedback.
• Ownership: you take the brief, figure it out and deliver without hand‑holding.
• Curiosity: you care about customers, markets and technology, not just the next ticket.
• Judgement & structure: you simplify complexity, set a plan and move the room with clear rationale.
• High collaboration: sleeves up, team first.

From day one you’ll work with and learn from a Head of Product with extensive & deep product and organisational knowledge, strong mentoring and context. You’ll have real autonomy and freedom to test ideas, try new approaches and learn from outcomes, in a team that backs constructive experimentation.

You’ll have impact you can point to, working on small through to multiple multimillion‑pound programmes, with blue‑chip customers and a global footprint, your work has impact and is used in the real world. And no cold starts as frameworks, governance and tools are in place so you can contribute immediately.

• A subsidised on‑site gym, available for all colleagues.
• Flexible start and finish times to fit around you and your lifestyle.
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and NICU pay.
• 25 Days holiday plus bank holidays with the option to buy more.
• Cycle to work scheme, Specsavers vouchers, long service rewards, EAP.
