Introducing the Trainline Mobile Platform Team 👋

Our Mobile Platform team sits within the Core Experience pillar, working alongside a talented squad of iOS, Android and DevOps engineers to shape the foundations that power Trainline's mobile apps. We're looking for an Associate Product Manager to help us build the platform capabilities, tools and processes that enable our mobile teams to build, test and release high-quality customer experiences quickly, safely and reliably. Your customers will be Trainline's mobile engineers and product teams, and your focus will be on reducing friction, improving reliability and helping teams across Core Experience, Customer Growth and New Business unlock more value from our mobile platform, including through new opportunities created by advancements in the iOS and Android ecosystems.

You'll help shape and manage the roadmap for a core mobile platform squad, balancing internal customer needs, engineering priorities and wider business strategy. You don't need to arrive with deep mobile platform or CI/CD experience; what matters most is curiosity, structured thinking, strong communication and a desire to grow into a platform product management role.

In this role as the Associate Product Manager, you will...🚄

• Take day-to-day product ownership of the mobile CI/CD experience, working with the Engineering Lead and Senior Product Manager to improve how developers build, test and ship.

• Support the weekly mobile release management process, helping ensure our apps are released reliably to the App Store and Google Play.

• Run lightweight discovery with internal users to understand pain points, define hypotheses and identify practical improvements to developer experience.

• Work with engineers to improve platform reliability, monitoring and alerting.

• Support business enablement through new mobile platform capabilities, helping teams across Core Experience, Customer Growth and New Business unlock opportunities created by iOS and Android advancements from WWDC and Google I/O.

• Manage and prioritise the squad backlog with the Engineering Lead, and help shape short to medium-term roadmap plans, contributing to longer-term platform direction with the Senior Product Manager.

• Communicate priorities, progress and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders across Product, Data, Design, Commercial and Engineering.

• Use data to quantify developer pain points and measure platform health, explaining the impact of improvements through metrics such as build reliability, release stability, lead time and incident reduction, while partnering with engineering leadership to build a strong, collaborative team culture.

We'd love to hear from you if you have...🔍

• A curious, proactive mindset and a genuine motivation to learn, with an interest in turning customer pain points into practical improvements.

• The ability to connect internal team needs to wider business strategy, and are comfortable working in an Agile environment, managing a backlog and navigating prioritisation trade-offs.

• Clear communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and the ability to tell a compelling story that makes technical concepts accessible to different audiences, including senior leaders.

• Experience using data to quantify problems, benefits and outcomes, helping others understand the impact of your work.

• A motivation to grow into a Platform Product Manager role over time.

• An alignment with Trainline's values: Think Big, Own It, Travel Together and Do Good.

• Ideally, some understanding of the iOS or Android ecosystem, or familiarity with CI/CD, developer tooling or release processes.

• You may also have previous experience as a Product Manager, Associate Product Manager or Business Analyst, or exposure to internal platforms, developer experience or engineering productivity teams.
