yStop , is a leader in smart street furniture and will launch a new range of connected, intelligent community infrastructure in 2026—powered by Matter technology. Role Overview

As

Senior Product Manager , you’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle – from concept to sunset – for Matter IO (software and hardware) and the yStop suite of smart street furniture. This spans product development, pipeline planning, go‑to‑market strategy, and clear internal and external communication around product capabilities, updates and roadmaps. You’ll partner with two dedicated teams to share ideation, development and delivery across our product portfolio. You’ll also help establish our new demo centre, lead client product introductions across the full suite and articulate our innovations to a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll be fully supported at all levels, but this is a role with a strong project-management focus rather than deep technical build—so you’ll need to be highly organised and comfortable driving momentum. You won’t be coding but you will deeply own the product and delivery. Your project management will involve coordination and execution across teams, not just Gantt charts. So this is a broad, hands‑on role in a scaling company where you’ll wear multiple hats across strategy, delivery, GTM and stakeholder engagement. You'll quickly understand (if not already) the ways of IoT, urban infrastructure and operational workflows, requiring both strategic thinking and hands‑on execution. There is significant scope for advancement with a
