This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and POD POINT LIMITED is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., If role is primarily senior strategy leadership rather than product management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Job Title: Principal Product Manager
Salary: £100,000- £130,000 DOE
Location: Hybrid (1-2 days per week in London office)
We’re Pod – one of the UK’s leading EV charging providers, trusted by over 250,000 customers and powering more than 5 million miles every single day. But behind the numbers is a team of passionate people working together to shape a smarter, more sustainable future.
We started off in 2009 as Pod Point, helping people make the switch to electric as EVs began to hit the road. Today, we’re leading the way into a smarter energy future. As part of the EDF family – the UK’s biggest generator of zero-carbon electricity – we have the strength and stability to grow for the future.
And we’ve started that growth already. In 2026, we welcomed EO Charging into the Pod family, bringing together Pod’s strengths in home, workplace, public and smart charging with EO’s specialist fleet and depot charging technology. The acquisition significantly expands our commercial fleet and energy management capabilities. Together, Pod and EO are helping logistics, transport and operational fleet customers electrify at scale, optimise charging performance and make better use of existing grid capacity.
Pod is the next evolution of Pod Point. As electrification becomes everyday, Pod is here to help build a brighter future for society by managing the flow of energy, making it affordable, accessible, and for the benefit of everyone. With 250,000 customers already trusting us to be at the heart of their EV life, we see Pod playing a leading role in the UK’s increasingly electrified future. Our focus is on powering not just homes and vehicles, but local communities and social progress.

This is a great opportunity to shape proposition and product direction at a pivotal moment for POD, with the autonomy to define strategy, influence across the business and turn bold ideas into real-world outcomes. You will join a team that cares deeply about what we build and why, where collaboration, curiosity and constructive challenge are part of how we operate every day. We are looking for someone who thrives on ownership, brings clarity to complexity and is passionate about building products that genuinely improve how people live and travel, while also developing others and raising the bar for product excellence.
