Consultant (UK Product Team)

Think of a website, app, or some online software you have used (or even an app you downloaded that was clunky/slow) …there will be a Product Manager and Product Designer at the heart of this making sure it works, or to improve the experience the user has. It’s their job to make the product easy to use, that it’s technically sound and does what it’s supposed to do, when it’s supposed to.

If you are interested in placing candidates into roles that are shaping the future of the technology landscape we live in every day…then specialising in Product recruitment is for you!
