Our Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) combines cutting-edge robotics, AI and IoT within our advanced CFCs (Customer Fulfilment Centres). We've mastered the single pick, transforming online delivery for our global partners. Join us and be part of a team pushing the boundaries of retail technology.\nAbout the Role\nStorage, Peripherals & Retrieval is the product area behind the automated systems at the heart of Ocado's automated warehouses: the grid, the peripherals and the bots that run on it. Our mission is to develop the world's leading ASRS: highly cost-competitive, reliable, easy to launch and support and suitable for diverse global use cases.\nAs the Senior Product Manager for Retrieval, you will own the product strategy and roadmap for our bot, battery and charger fleet. Retrieval is the core driver of grid movement - bots transport stock and customer orders between grid locations, stations and ports, meaning every customer order depends on their availability, reliability and cost-effectiveness.\nOperating at the intersection of hardware, firmware, wireless and cloud software, you will lead a critical product domain where even a small change to a bot scales across every operational site globally. You will collaborate closely with mechanical, mechatronics, firmware, wireless and cloud engineering teams, as well as manufacturing and field support teams, driving complex problem-solving and cross-domain alignment.\nKey Responsibilities\nProduct Vision & Strategy: Shape and execute the product vision for complex initiatives across the bot, battery and charger domain, balancing short- and long-term goals to lower Capex, Opex and lead time.\nCommercial & Data Leadership: Define key domain metrics connected directly to business outcomes. Manage financial rationale, balance KPI impacts and make informed Build vs. Buy decisions.\nExecution & Problem Solving: Lead discovery and problem-solving across cross-functional teams, setting high standards for scoping, requirements and data-driven hypothesis testing.\nProduct Adoption & Scale: Build adoption metrics into domain capabilities, monitor usage across customer segments and collaborate with Solutions, Partner Growth and Partner Success teams to drive global rollout.\nStakeholder Management & Evangelism: Manage relationships across engineering crafts, leadership levels and external partners. Articulate complex technical decisions clearly and build strong buy-in.\nDomain Expertise & Leadership: Serve as the recognized go-to expert for Retrieval, providing strategic guidance, mentoring surrounding PMs and stepping into leadership moments for the Product Director when needed.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nSubstantial, battle-tested product management experience owning end-to-end product lifecycles for complex engineering products shipped at scale.\nProven track record of leading product discovery, setting product strategy in uncertain environments and making high-impact strategic trade-offs.\nStrong experience building product roadmaps alongside Design and Engineering peers, owning the business case and ROI.\nDemonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across Engineering, UX, Data, delivery teams and external partners or clients.\nExcellent organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment and deliver on commitments.\nNice to Haves\nExperience with products that combine hardware and software (e.g., robotics, connected devices or industrial automation).\nExperience mentoring or coaching other Product Managers.\nBenefits\nWe believe in supporting our people with meaningful, flexible benefits that prioritise well-being and work-life balance. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect:\n Time to recharge: 25 days annual leave (rising to 27 after 5 years), plus the option to buy more - and 30 days a year to work from anywhere in the world.\nHealth & wellbeing: Private Medical Insurance from your first month, wellbeing support through specialist apps and EAP, plus Income Protection and Life Assurance.\nFamily-first policies: 22 weeks paid maternity/primary carer leave and 6 weeks paid paternity leave.\n Financial support: Pension with employer matching up to 7%, share schemes (Sharesave & BAYE) and interest-free loans for train tickets.\nCommuter perks: Cycle to Work Scheme, Car salary sacrifice and free shuttle buses to/from Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City stations.\n Exclusive discounts: 15% off at Ocado.com with free delivery (starting in your first month) and up to 70% off at our Company Shop.\nBe bold, be unique, be brilliant, be you.
