ABOUT SONIN

Since 2009, we've helped ambitious organisations define, design and build digital products that deliver lasting value. Sonin is a UK-based agency that has product and delivery specialists who work closely with client teams, combining strategic thinking with hands-on technical delivery to turn ideas into successful, market-ready solutions.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We're looking for a Product Executive / Product Manager to join our Product team and be embedded with one of our clients. You'll take ownership of the early-stage product lifecycle for technical products such as mobile and web apps - from initial UX research and discovery through to roadmap creation, stakeholder alignment, budgeting and handover into delivery. This is a highly client-facing role that sits at the intersection of strategy, research and delivery, and requires someone comfortable representing Sonin directly within a client's organisation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work within a client's business as Sonin's product representative, building strong day-to-day relationships with client stakeholders.

• Plan and conduct UX research (interviews, surveys, competitor analysis, usability testing) to understand user needs, pain points and market opportunities.

• Translate research findings into clear, actionable insights that inform product strategy and prioritisation.

• Build and present a product plan and roadmap for the client, covering scope, phasing, milestones and expected outcomes.

• Lead discovery workshops and stakeholder meetings to align on requirements, priorities and success criteria.

• Negotiate and agree the final plan and roadmap with client stakeholders, balancing user needs, technical feasibility and commercial goals.

• Develop budgets and cost estimates for proposed product work, in collaboration with delivery and commercial teams.

• Own the handover of agreed scope and budget to the Sales team to support contract negotiation and close.

• Partner with Project Managers once a contract is signed to plan and scope ongoing product enhancements and new features.

• Maintain a continuous feedback loop with clients, ensuring the roadmap evolves in line with user insight, business priorities and product performance.

• Act as the voice of the user and the client within Sonin, working closely with Operations teams to ensure what's built matches what was agreed.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Proven experience in a Product Manager, Product Executive, Product Owner or similar role, ideally within an agency, consultancy or client-facing environment.

• Experience delivering technical products such as mobile apps, web apps or SaaS platforms.

• Solid grounding in UX research methods and translating research into product decisions.

• Confident running discovery workshops and stakeholder meetings, with strong facilitation and communication skills.

• Experience building product roadmaps and prioritising features against business and user goals.

• Commercial awareness, with experience building budgets or cost estimates for product work.

• Comfortable working closely with Sales teams to support the transition from proposal to signed contract.

• Experience collaborating with Project Managers, designers and engineers to scope and deliver product features.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust quickly when embedded in a client environment.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams or clients at once.

DESIRABLE

• Familiarity with tools such as Figma, Jira, Miro or similar product and design tools.

• Experience working in an agency or consultancy delivering products for external clients.

• Background in UX/UI, business analysis, or technical delivery prior to moving into product management.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A collaborative, supportive Product team within a growing UK app development agency.

• Exposure to the full product lifecycle, from discovery through to delivery and growth.
