Product Manager – SN Engineering Platform [Engineering Enablement]
Building services that enable others
Springer Nature is one of the world’s leading global research, educational and professional publishers. It is home to an array of respected and trusted brands and imprints, with more than 170 years of combined history behind them, providing quality content through a range of innovative products and services. Every day, around the globe, our imprints, books, journals and resources reach millions of people, helping researchers and scientists to discover, students to learn and professionals to achieve their goals and ambitions. The company has around 10,000 staff in over 50 countries.
We’re looking for a Product Manager who will drive the evolution and adoption of our Engineering Platform across Springer Nature.
About us: Engineering Enablement
The Engineering Enablement (EE) department consists of around 65 people, spread over teams that closely collaborate to fulfil our mission. In Springer Nature Technology (SNT) we serve different core expertise: PaaS, Databases, Observability and Cloud- and Release Engineering. You will join a multidisciplinary team with different nationalities, backgrounds and experience levels. We are a very distributed department but sometimes we travel to work with each other in person. We are based around the globe with main locations in London, Dordrecht, Berlin and Lisbon.
About The Job
We are looking for a Product Manager to drive the evolution of our Engineering Platform. This role will enable teams across Springer Nature to build and scale applications efficiently while reducing operational complexity. It will sit at the intersection of developer experience, platform strategy, and cloud governance, ensuring that our platform aligns with business needs and engineering best practices.
You will work closely with EE's platform engineering teams on the establishment of the platform's roadmap, covering the needs of developers and core stakeholder groups (out of some: security, data product teams and AI capability functions). While you push our Platform-First-Strategy, you prioritise Platform as a Service (PaaS), drive adoption of best-in-class developer tools, and continuously improve the platform’s usability, performance, and security.
You will have a good understanding of developer workflows, CI/CD, Runtime and scaling, and platform engineering. You should be passionate about streamlining development processes, reducing operational burden, and driving a culture of automation and self-service.
You will be working with colleagues from different backgrounds and experience levels. All team members collaborate to deliver solutions that best satisfy the needs of our business, and we are working to create a culture that encourages new ideas and innovation, but within the boundaries of the technologies that suits Springer Nature's vision best.
If you enjoy working at the intersection of technology, product, and developer experience, and want to have a tangible impact on how engineering teams build and ship software, this role is for you.

We highly value potential, not just experience, so don't feel you have to tick all the boxes -- we’re looking forward to your application!
