The role

We're hiring a Group Product Manager to lead one of our core product tribes. You'll work across multiple squads and domains, shaping our platform strategy and delivering high-impact outcomes that benefit developers, advisers, firms, and end investors.

You won't manage a squad directly, but will lead and coach product managers, ensuring strong alignment to business goals, customer needs, and our long-term vision. You'll collaborate closely with engineering, operations, and commercial teams to drive strategic initiatives from discovery to execution.

As one of three Group Product Managers - alongside counterparts focused on Custody, Accounts, and Customer Enablement - you'll be collectively responsible for the end-to-end platform roadmap and the long-term success of our product ecosystem.

On a typical day you will...

• Lead the strategic direction of your tribe, working closely with product managers and squads.

• Drive alignment across multiple squads within your tribe, ensuring shared best practices and cross-functional collaboration.

• Build strong relationships with advisors, developers, and current and future firms, deeply understanding their needs and pain points.

• Own the product/customer relationship, ensuring that customers trust and feel heard by Seccl.

• Coach and mentor product managers, helping them develop strong stakeholder relationships and effective prioritisation skills.

• Partner with engineering leadership to drive product development and ensure high-quality execution.

• Shape and communicate the long-term vision for the tribe, thinking 6-18 months ahead.

• Collaborate with commercial and growth teams to balance current and future customer needs with business opportunities.

• Drive continuous discovery, leveraging data, customer insights, and market trends to inform decisions.

• Ensure operational excellence, working with customer support and operations to improve processes that impact customers.

• Provide leadership beyond your immediate team, fostering a culture of collaboration and shared ownership.

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 rely on a lot of top-down direction. Here, you'll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you'll be expected to shape your own progression

• You're not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet

• You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen

• You don't like change. You'll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty

What's in it for you...

We offer a generous mix of benefits for the things that really matter to our people, including:

A salary between £90,000 and £110,000 - dependant on experience + reviewed annually

27 days holiday + bank holidays (some can be flexible) + day off on your birthday + three days (full time) per year for Dependant leave

Two volunteering days per year

Length of service award - one month paid sabbatical at eight years
• 6% employer pension contribution, and life assurance

Private medical insurance with AXA Health

Enhanced Parental leave

MacBook and up to £500 home office set up budget

£750 per person learning budget

Option to work abroad for up to six weeks a year

Health and wellbeing initiatives including free therapy via Wellness Cloud, mental health support via Headspace

Strong financial wellbeing focus including access to Octopus Money, Octopus Share Incentive Plan and will writing offering via Octopus Legacy

Perkbox - Flexi-points giving you a range of discounts and perks including free weekly coffee, gym and retail discounts

Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work and Octopus Electric Vehicle Leasing
