Product Operator

Product Operator

(Think entrepreneur + software engineer + commercial operator)

The Role

We're not hiring a traditional Product Manager.

We're hiring an entrepreneurial builder - someone who can spot opportunities, validate them quickly with clients, and work alongside engineers to turn ideas into reality.

You'll operate like a founder inside the business: commercially sharp, technically fluent, and unafraid of experimenting.

Your focus: move fast, learn fast, and make sure what we build creates measurable commercial value.

Why This Role?

This role is perfect for someone who thinks like a founder but wants to apply that mindset inside a scaling business. You'll shape strategy, build alongside engineers, and keep laser focus on commercial impact.

It's not about managing a backlog - it's about creating momentum, building at speed, and delivering value across the business.

• Think like an entrepreneur: identify opportunities, pressure-test them with clients, and prioritise based on revenue/ROI.
• Work with engineers: collaborate deeply (and ideally get hands-on with code or prototypes) to deliver quickly.
• Experiment relentlessly: launch, learn, iterate — discard what doesn't work, double down on what does.
• Bridge strategy & execution: connect leadership's vision to tangible builds.
• Keep commercial focus: always link product decisions to dollar value (growth, retention, margin, savings).
• Operate across the business: collaborate with sales, ops, and leadership to keep everyone aligned.

• A blend of technical fluency (software engineering or product build background) and commercial sharpness (ops, strategy, or founder mindset).
• Experience in fast-moving environments: start-ups, scale-ups, or your own venture.
• Ability to code or prototype, or at minimum, speak the language of engineers fluently.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you're comfortable with ambiguity, ownership, and end-to-end delivery.
• Fearless experimentation: you'd rather try, fail, and learn than over-plan.
• Clear communicator across technical and commercial contexts.

• Where you've thrived before: in experimental start-up arms, venture studios, product strategy or growth teams at scale-ups, consulting-to-operator transitions, or early-stage companies where you've had to wear many hats.
• Entrepreneurial DNA: You've founded something, been an early operator, or built MVPs in ambiguous, high-pressure environments.
• Commercially sharp: You instinctively link product decisions to revenue, retention, margin, or ROI, and prioritise by dollar impact.
• Technically fluent: You can code/prototype or at least "speak engineer" credibly, building trust with technical teams.
• Cross-functional operator: You're comfortable working across sales, ops, engineering, and leadership, acting as the glue across the business.
• Fearless experimenter: You move fast, test relentlessly, learn in weeks not months, and aren't afraid to fail and pivot.

At Lyrebird, we don't just write code — you'll help shape the future of the human experience.

If you want to pioneer, to create, and to see your work touch lives directly, we'd love to hear from you.

We're building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who'll benefit from our work. We want Lyrebird to be a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to thrive. If you're from an underrepresented background in tech, we especially encourage you to apply — even if you don't meet every single requirement.
