Do you think you have what it takes to shape digital products for our clients? Working with one of our delivery teams you will work directly with our clients to understand their business problems, invent innovative software solutions and guide a team of developers, designers and QA engineers in building solutions that truly make a difference.

If you love solving real world business problems and you thrive on managing people in cutting edge projects that enable businesses to achieve their full potential, then you might be just the Product Manager we are looking for!

Our product managers are involved in all aspects of the software development life cycle. Working with a technical project lead and a UX designer you will get to deliver amazing software to our clients. You will manage a road map, discover the requirements, match expenditure appetite to developer effort, present iterations demos to the client, road test the solution with real users and gather the all important feedback.
