The role

We’re looking for a Group product manager to join our product team. This role sits at the heart of the the company platform, shaping the core capabilities that our clients rely on to build and scale their investment propositions. You’ll focus on delivering a stable, flexible platform while continuously improving the experience for both adviser and fintech clients.

You’ll work closely with clients to understand their needs, translating them into clear product direction and ensuring we’re building solutions that support a wide range of business models and customer journeys. From core platform capabilities to client-facing experiences, your domain will play a critical role in how firms deliver value to their end investors.

You won’t lead a single squad day-to-day. Instead, you’ll lead multiple Product managers across several squads, setting direction, aligning priorities, and driving strategic initiatives across your domain. You’ll work closely with two other GPMs to shape the end-to-end platform roadmap.

On a typical day you will…

• Set the vision and strategy for your tribe area, shaping direction 6-18 months ahead

• Build and maintain clear, coherent roadmaps that balance short-term delivery with long-term impact

• Develop strong relationships with advisers, developers and firms, deeply understanding their workflows, pain points and needs

• Lead, coach and support Product Managers, helping them grow, prioritise effectively, and deliver meaningful outcomes

• Work closely with engineering leadership to deliver scalable, reliable, compliant platform capabilities

• Drive alignment across squads, ensuring shared context, cross-functional collaboration and consistency of approach

• Champion customer-centric product decisions through continuous discovery, data-driven insights and tight feedback loops

• Collaborate with commercial, operations, support and compliance teams to balance current and future customer needs with business opportunities.

• Promote operational excellence, improving processes that impact experience and efficiency

• Contribute to product culture, shaping how we scale our ways of working as the organisation grows. Act as one product leadership with the two other Group Product Managers

This role’s for you if you

• Have experience leading multiple squads or teams within a high-growth, API-first, fintech, or regulated environment

• Are a strategic thinker, balancing long-term vision with execution.

• Have a strong commercial mindset, understanding how product decisions impact business growth.

• Can build deep relationships with customers, acting as their advocate within the business.

• Are an excellent people leader, coaching and mentoring product managers to excel.

• Have a track record of improving processes and driving operational efficiencies.

• Work closely with engineering leadership, ensuring a strong product-engineering partnership.

• Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, using data to drive decisions.

This role isn’t for you if

• You have never been a people manager.

• You have never invested and don’t use any investment platforms

• You rely on top-down direction. Here, you’ll have significant freedom and ownership to shape your progression and deliver outcomes.

• You’re not comfortable in a fast-paced environment. Our agility and scalability are what set us apart, and we expect quick thinking and adaptability.

• You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who follow through and deliver on what they set out to achieve.

• You don’t like change. You’ll thrive here if you embrace the ambiguity of rapid growth and see change as an opportunity rather than a challenge.
