Product Manager - Flexible Working

These companies face unique, complex challenges that typical software was never designed to solve. Our mission is to give critical industries their own AI-powered Software Factory: a way to build and deploy bespoke digital tools that solve pressing operational challenges.
We’re backed by leading VCs, including Notion Capital and Hoxton Ventures, and we’re building a world-class team to take on one of the most important challenges of our time. We are committed to building a diverse team that reflects the industries and societies we serve.
We are looking for a deeply technical, systems-thinking Product Manager to own the core platform that powers Cogna’s AI-first software creation tools. You will be responsible for building large-scale, globally distributed backend systems and for shaping how AI is used in a reliable, reusable capability across the company.
A central part of this role is owning platform APIs across our backend platform that enable agentic provisioning of infrastructure, building solution code based on spec, and deploying code into production. These agents perform a variety of tasks across our platform, including building customer solutions, performing customer service tasks, data security and privacy testing, and context-rich business artifact generation. You will work hand-in-hand with engineering to make AI a dependable building block, not a one-off feature.
This role suits someone who thrives in a 0→1 environment but knows how to operationalise product development for scale. Own Platform APIs: Define and ship a set of APIs that expose underlying agentic capabilities that product teams across Cogna can spin up to do a defined set of things, making AI a usable part of our products.

Go deep on AI/LLMs: Shape how large language models are used at a systems level, you understand what it means for an LLM to have a context bundle, to save and manage state, and how that translates into reliable product behaviour.
Drive iterative development: Ship MVPs that solve core problems, measure them, and evolve them based on real usage, comfortable discovering something doesn’t work and quickly trying something else.
Make good calls with limited customer data, relying on technical judgement and intuition where complete signal isn’t available.
Define success metrics and use data to track adoption, reliability, and impact, iterating to improve.
You’ve been a highly technical PM working on backend services, ideally services that have scaled, and you can speak intelligibly about building systems at scale.
Highly agile, comfortable trying something, measuring it, and changing course quickly.
Well-rounded PM: You bring the full gamut of product skills rather than a narrow focus (we’ve found purely analyst, technical-program-management, or testing backgrounds tend to fit less well).
