The Product Manager will be responsible for:

• Leading a team responsible for the planning and development of customer-facing platforms and products
• Identifying customers' requirements and matching them with ideas for software development and improvements
• Putting together business cases and looking for opportunities for improvement within existing products
• Collaborating with UX Designers on new product ideas, establishing metrics and parameters to measure success of new features

This is a wonderful opportunity to lead on the development of user-focused research platforms, and take ownership of the full product development cycle.
