Product Manager

We are looking for a Product Manager to own the vision and delivery of a key part of Ecosurety’s platform.

Ecosurety operates in one of the most complex and fast-moving regulatory environments in the UK. Clients face EPR submissions, RAM assessments, Plastic Packaging Tax, PPWR on the horizon, and a growing web of international obligations. Today, much of the support Ecosurety provides is delivered through a combination of people, spreadsheets, and tools. Our challenge now is to build a coherent product experience and best augment our internal teams to deliver best-in-class experiences for our clients.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage a mature product. It is a role for someone who can look at a complex, regulated, high-stakes domain, understand what clients need, and turn that into a product that makes their lives meaningfully easier.

Ecosurety is an industry leading company of circa 100 people, based in the heart of Bristol’s vibrant city centre, with a mission to accelerate change towards an environmentally and socially sustainable world. Our clients are many of the UK big brands and retailers, often facing particularly big challenges over their use of packaging. We are a Certified B Corp, committed to balancing profit with our social and environmental impact.

Working closely with clients and internal experts Embedding the realities of clients and experts into your day-to-day will ensure we’re making the most impactful product design and priority decisions. Defining and delivering the roadmap Translating client needs and regulatory requirements into a clear, prioritised roadmap. Working with engineering, design and subject matter experts to ship things that work. Be comfortable making trade-offs and communicating them clearly.
