Major contractors like Acciona, CPB Contractors, John Holland, and McConnell Dowell use Aphex to deliver projects from £50 million to multi-billion pound mega projects.\nWe're market-leading in Australia and the UK, supporting teams building the roads, rail, tunnels, and hospitals that millions use every day. Our founding thesis: owning the planning layer is a gateway to solving high-friction adjacent processes in what we call the orchestration layer of major project delivery.\nThe Role\nWe're looking for a Product Manager to own our Insight & Data area - the measurement layer of the Aphex platform. You'll report directly to the Head of Product and lead a squad of ~6 engineers that flexes with scope.\nThe opportunity: Aphex captures something unique - granular, structured data about how major projects actually execute. Not just what was planned, but the daily record of what happened: coordination, progress, constraints, the gap between plan and reality. This dataset doesn't exist anywhere else at this fidelity.\nOur thesis is that the behaviours teams run - publishing cadence, daily coordination routines, statusing discipline - are the leading indicators of project performance. Measuring those routines, scoring them, and connecting them to outcomes is the core intellectual problem of this role. Nobody in construction has done it.\nYour two customers:\nThe user. Signals surfaced inside their existing workflow that change behaviour on site - not another dashboard. A routine-health score a project team actually acts on. Org-level insight an executive trusts.\n\nAphex itself. Your measurement system is the evidence layer for our own product decisions - activation curves, feature landed-vs-rejected, routine adoption. Success looks like every PM in the company citing your measures in their briefs without having to ask you for a report.\n\nYour charter - what you own:\nThe core measures: the canonical, tool-agnostic definitions of project and user behaviour (publishing scores, daily-cycle activity, routine health) and the taxonomy underneath them\n\nThe data platform: the pipelines and aggregated data models everything reads from\n\nMCP and the API surface: how customers and AI tools access their data\n\nEval frameworks for the AI agents that consume this data\n\nThe org/admin surfaces: admin console, org-level insights, report sharing, request-access - end-to-end, your team ships these\n\nActivation as an outcome: instrumenting and driving the behaviours that make projects stick\n\nExplicitly not yours:\nThe daily-cycle workflow itself (briefings, capture, diary) - owned by the Planner and Diary teams\n\nIn-workflow rendering of your signals - you own the signal contract (what's measured, what triggers, what good looks like); the surface teams build the moments, prioritised like any other roadmap work\n\nThat split is deliberate. This is a leverage role: your definitions and data flow through every team's roadmap.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the measurement system\nDefine, defend, and version the core measures of project behaviour and performance\n\nConnect behavioural routines to outcomes - build the evidence for what actually predicts delivery\n\nMake the measures self-serve for users, customer teams, and internal product/GTM teams\n\nOwn delivery\nRun discovery through QA to launch with your engineering team\n\nWrite specs and briefs your team can execute against - and hold them to their briefs\n\nIndependently sanity-check sequencing and estimates; challenge what doesn't smell right\n\nMake daily trade-off calls on scope, timeline, and quality\n\nOwn the platform\nData pipelines, aggregated models, and the API/MCP access layer\n\nPlatform reliability - major projects depend on accurate, accessible data\n\nPartner across the company\nPublish signal contracts the Planner and Diary teams build against\n\nWork with CS and Solution Engineers on how customers want to use their data\n\nFeed product decision making across the org with evidence, not opinion\n\nWhy This Matters\nEvery contractor reinvents reporting from scratch, and every construction analytics product measures the same lagging outputs. Aphex's edge is measuring the behaviours that precede the outputs - and we have the only dataset that makes it possible. You're building both the product that surfaces this to customers and the evidence engine that steers what Aphex builds next.\nAbout You\nEssential:\nA measurement background: you've defined metrics systems, built or evaluated data pipelines, or worked as/with data scientists closely enough to hold your own\n\nProduct ownership: you've owned a product or platform area standalone - set direction, not just executed someone else's\n\nTechnical depth to interrogate, not just converse: you can pressure-test an engineering estimate and spot a sequencing error\n\nTrack record shipping data products, analytics, or platform work with quality\n\nRemote-first operator: writes clearly, documents decisions, communicates proactively\n\nHighly valued:\nBehavioural analytics, activation/retention instrumentation, or product-led growth measurement\n\nExperience with AI/agent products and evaluation frameworks\n\nVertical SaaS or construction/industrial experience\n\nExperience making internal teams evidence-driven, not just customers\n\nThis role isn't:\nA dashboard factory - we're building signals into the workflow itself, not another reporting surface, so it won't suit someone who wants to just ship charts\n\nPure strategy - this is hands-on delivery; you'll need to enjoy owning execution, not just setting direction and handing it off\n\nDiluted by a layer above you - you'll report straight to the Head of Product, so the ownership is genuinely yours\n\nA role where the brief always arrives fully resolved - you'll often be deciding with incomplete information, and that's part of the challenge: shaping the answer, not just executing one that's already settled\n\nWhat We Offer\nFlexible/remote work across UK and Australian time zones, with WeWork access\n\nOne annual all-expenses-paid international team offsite (we've been to Vietnam and Thailand - where to next?)\n\nAn Aphex social budget\n\n£500 annual training allowance and access to our Emerging Leaders programme\n\nPaid parental leave\n\nMindFi EAP access\n\nEmployee Referral Program\n\nYour personal Lego welcome kit & Aphex swag\n\nEqual Employment Opportunity (EEO) Statement\nOur company does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, or other non-merit factors. At Aphex, we believe our team should reflect the variety of perspectives in the world we build for. We've noticed that qualified candidates from underrepresented groups sometimes hesitate to apply unless they meet 100% of the listed requirements, while others might apply when meeting just 60%.\nIf you're excited about Aphex and believe you have the core skills to succeed in this role, we encourage you to apply - even if you don't check every box in the description. Your unique perspective might be exactly what we need. If you need any accommodations during the interview process, please let us know.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7244,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Thailand","iso":"TH","kind":"country"},{"name":"Vietnam","iso":"VN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:25:27Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-25T14:46:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aphex-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aphex-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T15:45:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20998,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":172072},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=172072"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faphex-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faphex-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faphex-product-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/aphex-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faphex-product-manager"}]}
