About Us  

We are Ascent! and we help our customers solve problems, elevate, and do existing things better. We are on a mission to help our customers connect data, software, and purpose to create extraordinary outcomes. You could say we are a digital transformation business.

We work with incredible clients in all types of industries including Insurance, Financial Services, Public Services, Media & Telecommunications, Manufacturing, Health Services, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Business Services, Ecology and Logistics amongst others. We work with some of the sharpest minds in the brightest businesses and we employ the sharpest minds too! 

At Ascent, we also believe in fostering a vibrant office community where collaboration thrives and connections flourish. With our hybrid approach, we prioritize hiring individuals who reside in close proximity to our central offices in Bristol and London. Our aim is to cultivate a positive atmosphere and sense of belonging by facilitating easy access to the office.  

About the Role  

We're looking for a versatile Technical Product Manager who blends product thinking with business consulting, service design and technical fluency. You’ll lead discovery through hands-on workshops, shape delivery plans, and stay close to the tech, especially in AI-enabled, data-rich environments, while keeping sight of product outcomes, ROI, commercial models and how value is measured.  

While you won’t need to code, you should be comfortable in technical discussions around data models, APIs, AI integration, and cloud architecture (especially Azure). You’ll help craft high-level solution designs, write clear technical user stories, and work closely with engineers, data scientists, and designers to bring products to life.  

This role also plays a key part in pre-sales and early-stage planning, facilitating scoping sessions, engaging senior stakeholders and turning complex opportunities into actionable roadmaps.  

What You’ll Be Doing  

  • Design, facilitate, and document discovery workshops (design thinking, service blueprinting, prioritisation, technical deep dives) to uncover user needs and align stakeholders.  
  • Own the discovery and definition of digital products and services in partnership with clients.  
  • Lead or support pre-sales, running workshop-led scoping sessions, shaping proposals and presenting solutions to senior stakeholders.  
  • Develop Product Vision & Strategy including Product Roadmap and maintain ongoing evolution for product lifecycle  
  • Translate business and user insights into clear product requirements, user stories, and technical specs (especially for data- or API-heavy products).  
  • Work closely with engineers, data scientists, and designers to deliver high-impact solutions, aligning feasibility with user value.  
  • Support GenAI- or AI-driven product development, including helping shape early MVPs or PoCs.  
  • Use service design methods to map experiences, identify opportunity areas, and align teams and stakeholders around user needs and business priorities.  
  • Define and manage the product backlog; lead sprint planning and iteration cycles to ensure continuous delivery of value.  
  • Act as the product lead on client projects, supporting delivery end-to-end within a multidisciplinary team.   

  

What We’re Looking For  

Essential 

  • Proven experience leading and facilitating discovery or co-creation workshops with business and technical stakeholders.  
  • Experience applying design thinking, service design, and other human-centred approaches to shape and deliver digital products and services end-to-end.  
  • Solid background owning the end-to-end product lifecycle in a digital, data, or AI-enabled environment.  
  • Comfortable in technical conversations, able to shape high-level product requirements for APIs, integrations, or data pipelines.  
  • Strong communication skills, able to engage both technical teams and C-level audiences.  
  • Consulting mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, fast context-switching and adapting to different client needs.  
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams (engineering, UX, data) using agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).  

Strong Pluses  

  • Degree in Computer Science or similar technical discipline (helpful, not required).  
  • Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services or Power BI.  
  • Exposure to AI / machine-learning / GenAI product development.  
  • Experience with Azure DevOps, JIRA, Confluence, or similar tools.  

Why Join Us  

At Ascent, we help clients connect data, software, and purpose to create extraordinary outcomes. Our product team blends strategy, delivery, workshops, and design thinking to tackle complex problems—across industries like space, finance, ecology, and smart devices.  

We offer  

  • A collaborative, workshop-driven culture focused on continuous learning and client impact.  
  • Flexible hybrid working, with offices in London and Bristol.  
  • Regular coaching and support for personal growth.  
  • A diverse portfolio of projects, with real opportunities to shape strategy and delivery.
