About Aphex
We're the construction planning platform replacing outdated spreadsheets with multiplayer tools that delivery teams love. Major contractors like Acciona, CPB Contractors, John Holland, and McConnell Dowell use Aphex to deliver projects from £50 million to multi-billion pound mega projects.
We're market-leading in Australia and the UK, supporting teams building the roads, rail, tunnels, and hospitals that millions use every day. Our founding thesis: owning the planning layer is a gateway to solving high-friction adjacent processes in what we call the orchestration layer of major project delivery. Diary is our first major product expansion of that thesis.
The Role
We're looking for a Product Leader to own Diary—our production tracking and record capture product. This isn't another site diary. We're rethinking how construction teams capture and mobilise what actually happened on site.
You'll work directly with our CEO (acting Head of Product, deeply product-oriented, knows construction inside-out), alongside CTO, Head of Engineering, and Product Leader for Planner.
The Thesis:
Records connected to the plan (not siloed). Low-friction, unstructured capture (not rigid forms). AI-enabled throughout (easier to record, proactively surfaces insights). The AI opportunity here isn't about being on the leading edge of foundational models—it's inventing the UX of how AI fits naturally into workflows for an AI-nascent industry.
Where we are:
18 months building MVP alongside our core product.
10 enterprise customers trialling with unanimously strong feedback from that cohort and everyone we've demoed to.
We've identified the opportunity. Now we're building a standalone team to attack it with vigour.
What You'll Do
Own the Roadmap
Set direction for Diary—what gets built, when, and why
Make tradeoff calls: customer requests vs AI bets vs technical debt vs strategic priorities
Resource plan 1-2 quarters ahead so you're never scrambling
Maintain the quality bar: "Does this make us proud?"
Drive Execution
Direct line manager for Product Managers—their delivery is your delivery
Partner with designers and Tech Lead to scope, design, and build
Be close enough to spot blockers early without micromanaging
Build shipping culture: rigorous planning, clear standards, consistent cadence
Build the Team
Set clear standards for velocity and quality—hold the team to them
Develop PMs through coaching and feedback
Create environment where people do their best work
Build reputation: other teams view Diary as the model
Why This Matters
This isn't pure strategy or pure execution—it's both. You'll review quarterly roadmaps with the CEO one moment, debug why something isn't shipping the next. You'll make tradeoff decisions with incomplete information. You'll say no more than yes.
We need someone who can operate at multiple altitudes. Someone who builds for the long term—construction projects last years, so do great products. Someone our CEO can partner with on product thinking, not just receive status reports from.
About You
Essential:
5+ years product management and ideally some of that leading a product area or team
Balanced strategic roadmapping with day-to-day execution in B2B SaaS
Managed product managers directly—comfortable with accountability for outcomes you don't fully control
Technical fluency: discuss architecture with engineers, understand data models and APIs
Can have difficult conversations about performance and standards
Remote-first mindset: write clearly, document decisions, build relationships asynchronously
Highly valued:
Vertical SaaS or construction/industrial experience
Excited about AI opportunity (don't need to be ML expert)
Track record taking products from MVP to scale
Deep customer empathy—obsessed with understanding how users actually work
Not looking for:
Pure strategists who haven't been in the weeds recently
Someone who wants to delegate execution and stay high-level
People uncomfortable with ambiguity or incomplete information
What We Offer
Work & Culture:
Remote-first role working across UK, Europe, and Australia time zones
Flexible working hours with async collaboration
Join a team that takes ownership, focuses on quality, and genuinely enjoys solving hard problems together
Strategic Impact:
Define the roadmap, not execute someone else's
Work directly with CEO (acting Head of Product) with genuine influence on company direction
Own a major product area at the centre of our AI strategy
Team Connection:
A focus on culture: At Aphex, we are focused on making real impact, together, and strive to walk the talk on that every day
Annual offsite: In 2025 our team met for a week in Da Nang, Vietnam - you’ll need to join us to see where we have planned in 2026!
Tech & Growth:
MacBook Pro
Growth opportunities: As Aphex scales across new markets, your career can scale with it
Ongoing learning and training opportunities, including a training allowance Aphex covers
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Statement
Our company does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, or other non-merit factors. At Aphex, we believe our team should reflect the variety of perspectives in the world we build for. We've noticed that qualified candidates from underrepresented groups sometimes hesitate to apply unless they meet 100% of the listed requirements, while others might apply when meeting just 60%.
If you're excited about Aphex and believe you have the core skills to succeed in this role, we encourage you to apply - even if you don't check every box in the description. Your unique perspective might be exactly what we need. If you need any accommodations during the interview process, please let us know.
