Are you ready to shape the future of data?
Matillion is the company behind Maia, the AI Data Automation platform.
In the AI economy, demand for data is exploding. Manual data engineering can’t keep up. Maia fixes that by combining 15 years of data expertise with agentic AI to eliminate the manual work that slows data teams down. Organisations like Cisco, DocuSign, and Slack are already using it to deliver real business impact, faster.
We started in Manchester and now we’re global - with teams across the UK, US and India.
We are driven, curious, energetic people who move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high standard. We’re here to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves. And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.
About the Role
As Senior Product Manager, you'll own a significant slice of the Maia product, working at the intersection of complex user problems, AI capability and commercial impact. We need someone who understands what a genuinely great product experience looks like and holds the bar for it relentlessly.
You'll be user-obsessed and data-driven in equal measure. You'll ship dashboards, track leading indicators, run evals and use AI tooling in your own workflow to move faster. We're not prescriptive about your background - whether you've scaled a product at a larger company or moved fast at a startup, what matters is that you've done both at some point and you know the difference. Breadth of scope is easy. We need someone who can go deep.
We believe great product work happens through collaboration - which is why this role ideally follows our hybrid working pattern of two days a week in our Manchester city centre offices. That said, we know the right person isn't always on our doorstep, so we're open to flexibility for candidates based elsewhere in the UK. What matters most is the quality of thinking you bring, not where you sit.
