Senior Product Manager (IT) Hubcycle

Purpose of the Role : 

The Senior Product Manager role at Hubcycle is designed for someone who can lead an ambitious technical roadmap end-to-end — from shaping the architecture with an external team to building in-house proprietary features and a proprietary tech stack. As Hubcycle’s first in-house Senior Product Manager, this role owns product strategy for the whole company and turns our impact-driven mission into products that members genuinely love and use.

Beyond the roadmap, this position moves Hubcycle from outsourced delivery to owned product capability. The Senior Product Manager will help set the product vision, ship real products hands-on, and make experimentation and AI-native building the default way of working — accelerating delivery while de-risking the tech stack.

With equal command of strategy and execution, this role requires someone who is both technical and commercial, hands-on and visionary — as comfortable vibe coding a prototype and challenging an ops team’s read and rallying distributed teams around a shared direction. 

Key Responsibilities : 

Product Vision & Roadmap

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for the whole product area, ensuring alignment with Hubcycle’s mission and business objectives.
• Translate business needs into a sequenced, deliverable roadmap, balancing building of a solid, documented architecture, and quick wins.
• Be accountable for outcomes, not just output — define and track the metrics that matter.

Architecture & In-house Tech Stack

• Partner with external engineering teams to shape the technical architecture and ensure it scales.
• Drive the transition from outsourced delivery to in-house proprietary features and a proprietary tech stack.
• Apply strong information architecture (IA) knowledge to structure the product, data and information flows.
• Make sound build/buy and prioritisation trade-offs, managing technical dependencies and risk.

AI, Experimentation & Data

• Ship real product yourself prototyping and vibe coding to validate ideas hands-on.
• Build and ship AI-powered features, using AI tooling to move fast from idea to working prototype.
• Maintain high quality and pace across both discovery and delivery.
• Run experimentation as your default operating mode
• Work closely with the teams to deliver team-led features that have a quick impact and include them into the roadmap

Leadership & Stakeholder Alignment

• Manage developers directly or indirectly — hiring, coaching, hard feedback and performance calls.
• Promote and encourage a tech and AI-driven culture company wide
• Influence without authority across functions.
• Talk to stakeholders and business owners often — because you like doing it — and let what you hear genuinely change your direction.
• Translate member insight into concrete product decisions.
