Senior Product Manager, Technical (m/f/d) at Affinidi in London, England, United Kingdom

Job description

• We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager (Technical) who wants to help define how trust is built into the next generation of AI systems. At Affinidi, we’re building the Trust Fabric product suite to give AI agents verifiable identity, policy guardrails, and real-time observability, so organisations can move from promising proofs of concept to secure, governed production deployments with confidence.
• This is a role for builders. You’ll work side by side with engineering to turn ambitious ideas into real, high-impact products, fast, iteratively, and with strong product judgment. You’ll take on complex, ambiguous challenges that don’t come with a playbook, bring structure to what matters, and help the team move with clarity, speed, and conviction. You’ll also collaborate with deeply engaged teams and senior leaders in an environment that expects high standards, values ownership, and gives you the chance to shape meaningful products from the ground up.
• If you like combining technical depth, product thinking, and execution, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Shape and deliver solutions: Partner closely with engineers to define and refine solutions early, helping move ideas from concept to production in practical, incremental steps while staying close enough to implementation to understand trade-offs and guide decisions.
• Drive focused, outcome-oriented delivery: Balance user needs, market context, and execution speed while focusing on getting working solutions into users’ hands for validation, then iterate based on feedback and measurable outcomes.
• Work through ambiguity: Take ownership of areas where requirements are not fully defined, structure problems into clear, actionable paths forward, and maintain momentum even as direction continues to evolve.
• Own product direction: Contribute to product strategy and roadmap definition, align short-term priorities with longer-term platform thinking, and make thoughtful trade-offs that support both delivery and scalability.
• Collaborate across stakeholders: Work across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams, engage effectively with senior and executive stakeholders, and bring alignment and clarity in environments with diverse perspectives.
• Be developer-obsessed: Understand developer workflows and key pain points, and help improve integration, usability, and the overall product experience.

Requirements

• Core experience: You bring 5+ years of experience in Technical Product Management, a strong technical background that lets you engage deeply with engineering topics, hands-on experience working with APIs, systems, and integrations, and a proven track record of delivering products in close collaboration with engineering teams.
• Technical depth: You are comfortable understanding how systems are designed and operate in practice, able to engage in technical discussions, challenge assumptions, and evaluate trade-offs, and willing to go into detail when needed by reviewing flows, investigating issues, or clarifying implementation approaches.
• Mindset: You take ownership from problem to outcome, are comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving priorities, combine structured thinking with a bias toward action, and can move between big-picture strategy and practical execution.
• Collaboration & communication: You communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, are comfortable working with experienced, highly engaged stakeholders, and know how to build alignment and drive decisions forward.
• Nice to have: It’s a plus if you have had exposure to identity, distributed systems, or similar domains, and experience in fast-paced, product-led environments.
