Principal Product Manager
About Us
Elsewhen is a specialised AI consultancy at the forefront of enterprise productivity. We partner with ambitious leaders at organisations like Google, Spotify, and WPP to unlock new value through AI-enabled operating models and strategic digital transformation. Over the past decade, we have built a reputation for delivering measurable impact, moving beyond general consulting to offer targeted, AI-powered solutions that drive operational efficiency and a clear return on investment. Our workplace prioritises impact, drive, and openness, valuing outcomes over hours and agility over rigid processes.
We are looking for an experienced Principal Product Manager to join our team on an 18-month fixed term contract and help us shape the future of enterprise productivity and product development.
