Technical Product Lead

Liberty Recruitment Group is excited to be working in partnership with a growing marketing agency start-up based in Eastleigh who are looking for a Technical Product Lead.

This is an exciting opportunity where you will deliver the MVP of a next-generation e-commerce marketplace, from first click to final checkout.

You'll take the reins of product delivery, lead a distributed team of developers, and be the bridge between product vision, technical execution, and team leadership. This role is ideal for someone who loves getting stuck into product strategy but isn't afraid to dive into the PHP/Laravel/WordPress codebase when needed to review or troubleshoot.

You'll also have the opportunity to leave your creative fingerprint on the platform's UX and play a key role in shaping how users experience our brand.

What You'll Be Doing

Own the end-to-end delivery of the MVP for our e-commerce marketplace

Lead and manage a team of 4 offshore developers

Recruit and grow your own high-performing team as the product scales

Conduct code reviews and technical assessments (PHP/Laravel/WordPress)

Drive multiple feedback cycles, improving the product with real-world insights

Work closely with design and brand teams to shape the user experience

Take stock of existing team and processes, then optimise them

Be a hands-on leader who can roll up their sleeves and problem-solve in the trenches

What We're Looking For

Strong background in product management, from vision through delivery

Proven experience leading remote teams, ideally in a start-up or agile environment

Ability to code in PHP/Laravel and review others' code effectively

Experience delivering consumer-facing platforms or marketplaces

Comfortable balancing business priorities, user needs, and technical feasibility

Solid grasp of agile, MVP, and iterative delivery cycles

UX-aware with a keen eye for detail and quality

Bonus Points

E-commerce or marketplace experience

UI/UX design sensibility or past collaboration with design teams

Experience scaling a product from MVP to full release

The role will be based 2 days a week from their office in Eastleigh, and three remotely. It's a 40-hour working week, but can be worked flexibly at times that work around your lifestyle. Core office days are Monday and Friday with core hours on those days as 10am-3pm – all other hours are worked flexibly. They offer 30 days holiday, plus bank holidays too
