Product Manager - Automation

About Us

With over 30 years of expertise, Apogee transforms how organisations of every size and sector manage their IT, delivering everything they need through one seamless point of contact. As an independent subsidiary of HP Inc., we combine the agility of a specialist provider with the power of one of the world’s leading technology companies, giving our clients instant access to cutting‑edge innovation backed by market‑leading service operations!

Some people scroll past a clunky, manual process… you stare at it and think, this could run itself! That is who we are looking for. Apogee built its name in Managed Print. Now we are pushing hard into Managed IT and intelligent automation. We do not need a pure technologist sitting in a corner building features. We need someone commercially sharp, curious, slightly restless, who understands platforms such as Docu Ware, Acora, Ricoh and Tungsten, and can spot where a smart workflow or automation tool could genuinely change how a client operates.

This is about instinct as much as expertise.

You will own our Process Automation portfolio. You will sit between vendors with ambitious roadmaps and a sales team that knows how to win – and make the two click! If you find a new application, you will pressure‑test it properly:

• Is this solving a real problem or just looking clever?
• Will clients pay for it?
• Can we deliver it brilliantly?

You will not just suggest ideas. You will carry them.

• Vendor matchmaking – build proper relationships, not transactional ones. Challenge vendors, ask what is coming next, know before others do.
• Shaping the case – take opportunities to the Technical Steering Group with clarity. ROI mapped. Delivery model defined. Risks understood. If it is approved, know exactly why.
• Owning the launch – no dusty product launches. Work with Sales Enablement and Directors to ensure teams understand the story, the value, and the angle. Sit with Pre‑Sales to shape real solutions. Stay close until revenue proves the model works.
• Sector focus – adapt solutions for Commercial, Strategic and Public Sector clients, including alignment with NHS transformation priorities where relevant. One size does not fit all.
• Retention thinking – think beyond signature. The goal is to make automation indispensable – so when renewal comes around, removing it would feel like switching off the lights.

A typical working pattern is Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, with a one‑hour lunch break.

• Experience launching and commercialising digital, automation or IT‑enabled services within Managed Services, SaaS, workflow or document environments.
• Strong commercial judgement – build a clear business case, challenge assumptions, balance opportunity with risk.
• Technical fluency – understand how automation solutions integrate into wider IT estates (APIs, cloud, security, delivery models) without building them yourself.
• Confidence working cross‑functionally – Sales, Pre‑Sales, Operations, Finance and senior stakeholders.
• Ability to translate complex technology into simple, compelling propositions that sales teams can confidently take to market.
• Focus on repeatability, margin and retention – not one‑off wins.

We value candidates with AI literacy, curiosity about technology, comfortable exploring automation, and eager to contribute to a modern, forward‑thinking business.
