🙌 The Role & Team 

As a Senior Product Manager, you will play a key role in developing and optimising the product lifecycle for the pre-funding space – covering the moment customers first make contact to when they take out finance with us.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Commercial and Marketing and will be a key part of enhancing our digital proposition for our intermediaries. This role requires a mix of technical expertise, business acumen, and an understanding of financial products, workflows, and market needs.

What you’ll be getting up to

Define and deliver the vision and strategy for pre-funding.
Collaborate with stakeholders to align on business goals, intermediary needs, and long-term objectives.
Conduct market research and competitor analysis to identify trends, opportunities, and customer pain points related to pre-funding. Use data-driven insights to inform product decisions.
Develop and maintain a comprehensive product roadmap for the pre-funding area. Prioritise features and initiatives based on impact, business goals, and feasibility.
Work closely with engineering teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications. Ensure the timely delivery of new features, product iterations, and improvements in pre-funding systems and processes.
Engage with legal and compliance teams to ensure our change meet regulatory requirements.
Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for product success, track product performance, and optimise product features based on data-driven insights.
Provide line management, guidance and mentorship to junior product managers, sharing best practices and contributing to team development.

You’ll be a great fit if:

5+ years of experience in product management, with a strong focus on financial products, funding processes, or similar areas. Prior experience in pre-funding or financial services is highly preferred.
Strong understanding of financial systems, workflows, and APIs. Experience working in Agile development environments. Familiarity with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and A/B testing platforms.
Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage competing priorities, and deliver successful product outcomes. Strong communication and negotiation skills.
Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and make informed decisions.
