We're the construction planning platform replacing outdated spreadsheets with multiplayer tools that delivery teams love.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.
We're looking for a Product Manager to own day-to-day execution of our Insight and Data platform.
Your mission: unlock value from construction's most detailed execution dataset.
The opportunity: Aphex captures something unique—granular, structured data about how major projects actually execute. Planning. Coordination. Progress. Constraints. The gap between plan and reality. This dataset doesn't exist anywhere else at this fidelity.
Meanwhile, construction is stuck reinventing analytics for every project. Basic reporting is bespoke every time. Portfolio-level insights? Manual and painful. Enterprise AI? Not possible without the data foundation.
We're solving the foundational problems and unlocking what's next. Standardised reporting. Connected data. AI-ready infrastructure.
Where we are: API platform used by a large customer cohort. Power BI integrations live. Built-in dashboards deployed. We've spent 9 months building embeddable dashboard MVP—standardised reporting from project to portfolio. About to launch private alpha with enterprise customers. This is the inflection point.
Your scope: API platform, Power BI integrations, P6 exports, embeddable dashboards, Insight product (reporting/analytics). You'll work with developers, designers, and Solution Engineers to turn unique data into customer value.
You'll work with the Product Leader for Insight and Data, alongside developers, designers, and Solution Engineers to turn data mobility challenges into solved problems.

Platform reliability matters—major projects depend on accurate, accessible data
Aphex captures execution data that doesn't exist elsewhere—daily coordination, actual progress, constraints with context. Right now, every contractor reinvents analytics from scratch. You're building the platform that makes reporting standardised, portfolio insights accessible, and enterprise AI capabilities possible.
This isn't pure execution. You'll partner with your Product Leader on quarterly planning. You'll have customer conversations that shape direction. You'll make calls about what ships this week versus next week. But your primary job is turning data opportunity into shipped features that customers use and value.
Every feature you ship either solves a current problem or unlocks a future capability. Often both.

Someone who sees this as "just integrations and reporting"
Pure strategists who want to delegate execution
