Reports to Director / Founder (EMS)

The opportunity

EMS is our own product — a professional services automation (PSA) platform built for consulting firms. It’s designed around the things a consulting-firm buyer judges first: margin you can trust under multi-currency, multi-company by design for holding groups, an AI assistant that fills the timesheets so people don’t have to, and a mobile-first build. EMS is now feature-complete and in user acceptance testing. The job is to take it from a built product to a product the market pays for.

We’re looking for a full-time Product Lead to take EMS from a feature-complete UAT build to a market-ready, paying-customer product within six months. This is a six-month fixed-term role that can convert to a permanent Product Lead position based on product success.

This is a specific flavour of product role — sometimes called a Founding PM or a 0-to-1 product operator. You’ll own three phases end to end, and the outcome of each.

The Product Manager half

A classic Product Manager owns the roadmap — discovery, specs and sequencing. You’ll own all of it for EMS, and run the testing phase that turns a built product into a trusted one.

The Product Marketing half

A Product Marketing Manager owns positioning, messaging and pricing. You’ll own that too — through to the sales collateral, demo and pricing page that win the first customers.

You will be the only PM on EMS — no analyst, no PMM, no QA lead to lean on. You’ll define the pilot, write the spec, set the price and build the demo. This is not the role if you’re a pure QA or Test Manager (too narrow, and it won’t drive GTM), a Product Marketing Manager (too narrow on the other side — you won’t own roadmap or quality), or a generalist startup advisor (we need someone executing, not only advising).

What you’ll be doing

Phase 1 - Test: own product quality

- Define the UAT plan: scope, acceptance criteria and exit gates (you don’t run every test yourself).




- Recruit and manage a small pilot cohort of existing customers and friendlies.
- Triage feedback into a prioritised backlog — deciding what blocks launch and what ships post-GA.
- Coordinate with engineering on bug severity, regression risk and release cadence.

Phase 2 - Evolve: own the roadmap

- Translate UAT signal and commercial intent into a 3 / 6 / 12-month roadmap.
- Write specs, run discovery interviews, and validate before anything gets built.
- Sequence the work so each release is independently shippable — and sellable.

Phase 3 - Launch: own the go-to-market

- Define the ICP, positioning, messaging and pricing model.
- Produce the sales collateral, demo script, onboarding flow and pricing page.
- Build the first-customer playbook — from pilot to paid conversion.
- Define the metrics that distinguish “we have product–market fit” from “not yet.”

Scope & deliverables - each phase ships one concrete outcome

- Phase 1 deliverable — a UAT exit report giving a clear go / no-go on launch readiness.
- Phase 2 deliverable — a validated 3 / 6 / 12-month roadmap, grounded in evidence rather than opinion.
- Phase 3 deliverable — a launch plan with positioning, pricing and the collateral to sell with.
- Outcome — the first five paying customers, converted from pilot to paid.

Essential experience and skills

- 7+ years in B2B SaaS product, ideally in HR-tech, workforce or professional-services tooling — so you understand the domain without a six-month ramp.
- You’ve personally taken at least one product from 0 → 1, not just iterated on a mature one.
- Comfortable being the only PM, with no analyst, PMM or QA lead to lean on.
- Commercial fluency: you can sit in a sales call, write a pricing model, and hold your own with a CFO.




- Hands-on with the artefacts — you write the spec, the release notes and the demo deck yourself.
- Clear written and spoken English; Spanish or Portuguese is a plus given our team footprint.

Nice to have

- Experience launching a PSA, ERP-adjacent or finance / operations product.
- Familiarity with multi-currency, multi-entity or invoicing and billing domains.
- A track record of converting pilot users into paying customers.
- Comfort working close to engineering on release planning and quality gates.

The person we’re looking for

- Decisive. You can call what blocks launch and what waits — and stand behind it.
- Methodical. You write things down, validate before building, and don’t leave loose ends.
- Honest about what you don’t know. “Let me check” beats a confident guess.
- Commercially minded. You remember that a feature nobody buys is a failed feature.
- Comfortable owning the whole spine. Quality, roadmap and launch — on your own.

How the role will grow

This is a six-month fixed-term role, but it’s built to become permanent. It carries clear, outcomes-based deliverables in each phase, and strong delivery against them can convert the role into a permanent Product Lead position as EMS scales — owning quality, roadmap and launch as the product grows beyond its first paying customers.

What we offer

- Competitive salary, calibrated to experience at offer stage.
- The opportunity to convert this six-month role into a permanent Product Lead position, based on product success.
- Discretionary bonus linked to delivery milestones and company performance.
- A clearly scoped role with genuine ownership of quality, roadmap and launch — end to end.
- A rare 0-to-1 mandate — taking a finished product to its first paying customers.
- Properly remote working from Barcelona, with periodic team meet-ups across the UK, Spain and Portugal.

We’re committed to building a diverse team and welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds — if you need adjustments to the process, let us know.
