We deliver innovative technology solutions in cloud computing, data analytics, AI, embedded software,IoT, and more to global industry leaders and Fortune 500 companies. Join us to create technology that drives real change for businesses and people across the world.\nCurrently we are looking for Product Manager (Prototyping/Design Specialization). This is a product management role with a strong prototyping component. You will help prospective clients bring an idea to life as a tangible prototype and test whether it is worth pursuing before they commit significant investment. You may also be assigned to billable client engagements that call for product and prototyping skills, whether or not they follow from a workshop.\nYour time will be split between3 kinds of work:\n1.) Product Innovation Workshops. \nPlan and run Innovation Workshops with prospective and existing clients, including our AI Prototyping Workshops, which convert early stakeholder ideas into value-generating projects for the customers and our consultancy business.\nThe workshops are built to help a client decide whether an idea deserves further investment. You will facilitate them with the client's stakeholders.\nIn other workshop formats, you may be asked to uncover value creation opportunities through collaborative methods such as design thinking, buyer journey mapping, service blueprints, and value chain maps. These help stakeholders see where today's way of working falls short and where change would matter most.\n2.) Pre-sales Enablement. \nBuild prototypes that support a pre-sales proposal, tailored to the client's industry, user personas, business context, and constraints.\nWork with sales, solution architects, and delivery leads to sequence the scope of a proposal into phases such as a proof of concept (POC), a minimum viable product (MVP), and later iterations. \nDesign of presentation slides, including overview diagrams of a proposed solution.\n3.) Billable Product Manager role in client engagements\nEngage in product discovery: stakeholder interviews, user research, problem framing, and requirements definition.\nPrepare and maintain a roadmap that reflects the agreed scope, dependencies, and critical dates, prioritized with the client's business and product leaders and subject matter experts against agreed business goals. Organize it around milestones that deliver real business value, so continued investment stays justified and benefits both the client and N-iX.\nWork with the delivery team (engineers, project managers, quality assurance) to clarify requirements and acceptance criteria, review work against them, and raise risks early.\nKeep scope, assumptions, and open decisions visible in writing, and flag when requests move outside the agreed statement of work (SOW) so the account and delivery leads can handle change control.\nUse product and user experience (UX) analytics to propose success measures the client can track.\nAdditional Contribution to the Product Management Office \nContribute reusable workshop formats, prototype templates, and examples for our Product Management team.\nShare lessons from engagements with other product managers and with sales.\nWhat we are looking for:\nProduct Management experience \n2 or more years of prior experience in product management or product owner responsibilities, conducting requirements definition, user stories, acceptance criteria, and backlog management. \nUnderstanding of product discovery, lean practices, and prioritization techniques.\nExperience defining POC/MVP scope and articulating the business value creation of a proposed plan.\nFamiliarity with product or UX analytics.\nDesign & Prototyping experience\n2+ Years experience in UI/UX or a related design role, with strong visual and interaction design skills. The ideal candidate is shifting from a UX to a Product-oriented Prototyping Innovation role. \nYou match the level of detail and polish of prototyping work to what is appropriate for the customer journey stage (pre-sales, workshop, or post-sale discovery), the solution lifecycle stage (prototype, MVP, or mature product), and the available budget. You also know when standard templates and design patterns are enough and when a specialized design is justified.\nHands-on experience with AI-assisted prototyping tools such as Claude, Figma Make, or Lovable.\nPortfolio showcasing design and prototyping skills.\nStrong PowerPoint and visual storytelling skills.\nCommunication & Facilitation\nFluent English and strong communication skills.\nExperience facilitating workshops or client-facing sessions.\nProficiency with Miro, FigJam, Lucid, or similar tools.\nAbility to challenge assumptions diplomatically and align stakeholders on priorities.\nNice to Have\nInterest in AI-assisted engineering, AI-enabled SDLC, spec-driven development, or design systems for AI coding agents.\nWe offer*:\nFlexible working format - remote, office-based or flexible\nA competitive salary and good compensation package\nPersonalized career growth\nProfessional development tools (mentorship program, tech talks and trainings, centers of excellence, and more)\nActive tech communities with regular knowledge sharing\nEducation reimbursement\nMemorable anniversary presents\nCorporate events and team buildings\nOther location-specific benefits\n*not applicable for freelancers","description_format":"text","description_chars":5444,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Polish","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Custom Software Development","AI Consulting & Integration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T16:23:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":70,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.695,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","urgency","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/n-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/n-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T07:48:11Z","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":10989,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"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":13248},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=13248"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fn-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization"},{"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%2Fn-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization"},{"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%2Fn-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization"},{"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/n-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fn-ix-product-manager-prototypingdesign-specialization"}]}
