beam-up - Product Lead

• Ship quickly and iterate constantly - You’re comfortable operating in fast cycles of discovery and delivery. Rather than spending weeks scoping and writing lengthy specs, you prefer building, testing and learning with real users. • Obsess over product craft - You care deeply about the details that make products exceptional - speed, reliability, UX clarity, and how tools actually fit into real workflows. • Work directly with users - You’ll spend time travelling to offices to watch practitioners use the product - understanding how their work actually happens so we can build AI tools that genuinely help. • Use AI to solve real problems - You’ll work closely with engineers to turn the latest model capabilities into practical, high-impact features that reduce admin and unlock better services. • Set ambitious goals - You define clear outcomes and hold yourself - and your team - accountable for delivering them. • Help shape what Beam builds next - You’ll influence product strategy based on what you learn from users, partners and the market. • We’re looking for a Product Lead who: • Is relentlessly curious & adaptable: You have an innate appetite to immerse yourself in complex domains (public sector/social care), ask deep context-seeking questions, and synthesize feedback quickly. • Has a high-growth, product-first background: You have cut your teeth in fast-paced, early-stage startups or scaleups. You know how to navigate scale, operate with extreme speed, and hold a very high bar for product craft. • Communicates concisely with data: You are a high-energy, inspiring speaker who aligns and motivates teams using compelling presentations and data-driven storytelling. • Can be pragmatic with metrics: You know how to define success and build metrics loops from scratch, even in early-stage products with small user bases where A/B testing isn't an option. • Focuses on measurable outcomes: You take pride in shipping high-quality products with measurable results for frontline workers and sweating the details that make them truly useful. • Can balance structured thinking with speedy execution: You systematically break down ambiguous problems into clear hypotheses, but move quickly from problem definition to prioritized, actionable execution. • Application process • We take hiring seriously. We have a four-stage interview process, giving you plenty of time to learn about Beam while we get to know you. • 30 mins with our Talent team • 45 mins presentation to the Hiring Manager • Task and full debrief with two PMs at Beam • Two 30m interviews with our VP Engineering and Product Lead • Final 30m interview with our Founders. • Is there an application deadline? • No, all roles remain live on our website until we have offered the role. This means we continue to review new applications whilst managing people through the 4 stage process.
