Joe Julian
Enterprise Product Manager — Workforce Management & AI-Native B2B SaaS
01 — Introduction
From classroom to enterprise product leadership.
Commercial Product Manager (Workforce Management & B2B SaaS) with a 10-year progressive trajectory from Technical Trainer and Implementation Consultant to Product Owner, P&L Leader, and AI Pioneer. A highly technical product leader with an engineering and enterprise technical support foundation, adept at leveraging "vibe-coding" methodologies to rapidly transition abstract product visions into functional enterprise Proof of Concepts (PoCs). Proven track record of executing massive strategic turnarounds, including halving configuration timelines, slashing excess inventory overhead by 60% in 10 months, and boosting application NPS by 11 points following a stalled 18-month development pause. Grounded in a deep, specialized background in Special Educational Needs (SEN) and EAL, he champions industry-leading digital accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) and inclusive, user-centric design across multi-tiered corporate platform architectures.
02 — Ethos
Build the thing that fixes it.
Joe treats product management as applied empathy backed by engineering literacy. He'd rather ship a working prototype than a slide deck, and he measures success in time saved and friction removed — not just features shipped. His years as an SEN and EAL specialist taught him to design for the hardest case first, which is why accessibility isn't an afterthought in anything he builds.
03 — Life in Derby
Always making something.
Outside of work, Joe is always making something — an app, a woodworking project, or a complicated sous-vide dinner. He builds small electronics with Raspberry Pi and Arduino, trains the family dog, and is slowly teaching his daughter baby sign language. Creativity and precision show up in equal measure, whether that's a product roadmap or a dovetail joint.
