Travel Occasional UK & European travel for team and customer sessionsStart As soon as availableReports to Director / Founder (EMS)The opportunityEMS 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 halfA 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 halfA 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 doingPhase 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 growThis 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.#J-18808-Ljbffr
