A growing technology team in Berkshire is looking for a Junior Product Manager / Business Analyst to support their Product Lead on internal and customer-facing business applications.

This is a hands-on delivery role, not a senior roadmap seat. You’ll turn user and business needs into clear requirements, help manage change through the product lifecycle, and work day-to-day with developers, testers and stakeholders.

What you’ll do

• Gather requirements and translate them into functional specifications, user stories and acceptance criteria
• Support change requests and product updates from idea through to release
• Work closely with developers to make sure what’s built matches what’s needed
• Help with new-business / system configuration and onboarding
• Support test plans, UAT and light user training
• Improve processes and documentation as you go

What we’re looking for

• Early-career experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, IT Business Analyst, Systems Analyst or similar in a software / digital delivery environment
• Comfortable writing specs or user stories and working with a development team
• Organised, clear communicator, happy owning the detail
• Logical process thinker with an interest in continuous improvement
• Degree in IT, Business, Management or similar useful but not essential

Nice to have

• Exposure to enterprise applications or ERP (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics 365)
• Experience in regulated, supply-chain or aviation-related environments
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps

What this isn’t

• A senior Product Manager or Head of Product role
• A data analyst / BI role
• A Power Platform / low-code developer role

Package

• c. £34,000 per annum
• 9-month fixed-term contract
• Based in Wokingham area (Berkshire), with collaborative on-site working and possibility of hybrid working after on-boarding period.

If you’re an early-career product or BA professional who likes turning messy requests into clear specs and shipping software with a team, we'd love to hear from you.
