  • Background in Agile & workflow optimization – Proficiency in tools like Jira, Confluence, and Airtable to support operational efficiency.
  • Strong analytical skills - comfortable working with data to drive insights and decision-making.
  • A problem-solving mindset - you’re proactive, structured, and thrive in ambiguity.


It’s a Plus If You Have 

  • Experience with data-driven product portfolio management - Familiarity with tracking investment allocations (e.g., maintenance, innovation, strategic bets) using BI tools.
  • Exposure to localization, content management, or translation technologies in a SaaS environment.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
