Richard Martins

Product Manager

What do you do?

I lead cross-functional teams to build and scale digital products that solve real problems. I’m now building HIYR AI an all-in-one tool that helps job hunters streamline their search, from tailored applications to interview prep to landing their Dream Job.

What I’ve built?

I create the Mentors Knowledge product from ideation to launch, co-developed the ASK NHS feature on Clippy and Zippie, and project manage BLIX Program 25, guiding 20+ PMs and designers through hands-on product work including helping to design and ship our current website. I also organize BLIX Sessions, connecting mentors with community members to share knowledge and grow together all for free.

Why I’m part of BLIX?

I’m part of BLIX because it changed my trajectory. The access to unfiltered industry knowledge, mentorship, and real experience gave me the confidence and skillset I needed to grow. Now, I stay involved to pay it forward to show underrepresented talent that they do belong in tech, and that with the right support, they can lead, build, and thrive.
