Global Relay requires an experienced Technical Product Manager (“TPM”) to assume ownership of specific components/features within Global Relay’s Connectors product line. You will manage a diverse agile development team consisting DevOps, UX/UI, Sdets and Developers with the goal to execute the product roadmap, and drive new products and features through the development process.

Working with Product Management, the TPM will define detailed business requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for specific features, and collaborate with their Team Leads, Architects, and UI/UX to ensure high quality designs are produced. TPMs will also attend daily stand-ups, refine their team’s backlog, plan sprints, accept completed stories, monitor progress, report status, and be involved in key release activities including documentation and training.

You will also ensure you are fully aware of the the wider bussines initiatives as everything we do interacts with everthing we do, so the ability to demonstrate cross functional working is required.
