About the role

We're looking for a Product Manager to join our Product & Technology team who will be accountable for a high-impact digital product central to the company's customer and commercial strategy.

• Product Definition - Clearly define value propositions, scope and success metrics for new and existing features.
• Stakeholder Collaboration - Align and communicate regularly with internal teams including commercial, marketing and editorial stakeholders.
• Experimentation - Support iterative product development through MVPs, prototypes and testing to validate assumptions and de-risk decisions.
• Continuous Improvement - Monitor product performance using KPIs and apply insights to drive ongoing optimisation and impact.
• Strategic Initiatives & Process Improvement - Contribute to and help drive strategic projects and cross-functional process improvements that enhance product development lifecycle.

Requirements

• 2-4 years of experience in product management - taking accountability for customer-facing products and a cohesive short-term product plan in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Direct experience collaborating with design, delivery and development teams.
• Strong collaboration skills which build rapport with a diverse range of stakeholders and positively represent the product management team.
• Highly organised, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Analytical mindset with experience using data to inform prioritisation and decision-making.
• Comfortable working independently, taking initiative and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.

Desirable

• Experience with subscription-based products or platforms such as Zuora or Zephr.
