We are seeking talented, driven and self-motivated people to join our Product Management Team, in the role of Product Manager. 

You don’t currently need to be operating as a Product Manager (although this would be a bonus) but an ambition move into a Product Management role is also welcome.

We are flexible on your current career, as long as some or all of your experience has been gained in organisations who build and sell software solutions.  If you have experience of our market (healthcare) that’s great but not essential, if not you must be prepared to learn quickly and gain the knowledge you will need to be successful.

If you would enjoy working in a role that gives you real responsibility to contribute to the success of the company, that is varied, challenging and provides great opportunities for learning new skills then a career in Product Management at Docman might be just up your street.
