SENIOR DATA PRODUCT MANAGER

We're looking for a Senior Data Product Manager to help us shape how data powers decision‑making, innovation, and customer experiences across Octopus Money. You'll connect business needs with technical delivery, ensuring our data engineering and data science/AI teams deliver maximum impact.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about using data to solve real business problems, and who thrives at the intersection of strategy, technology, and delivery.

ABOUT OCTOPUS MONEY

At Octopus Money, we're on a mission to make money advice accessible to all – because the right advice can turn your life dreams into reality. Half of Brits reach retirement age without enough money to live the life they want; financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health; only 8% of us have access to 1‑to‑1 advice. There’s plenty of information out there, but most of us just wish that someone we trust would tell us what to do with our money.

With Octopus, you get a personalised plan and a friendly expert to help you make it happen. We combine advisers, coaches and technology to understand your situation and recommend the right steps for your savings, investments, pensions and more. Then, we make it easy to invest in a custom portfolio, managed by experts. We believe everyone deserves personal, 1‑to‑1 advice with their money.

DAY‑TO‑DAY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Liaising with stakeholders across the business to understand data needs, opportunities, and pain points
• Translating business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and tickets for the data engineering and data science/AI squads
• Prioritising and managing both the data engineering and data science/AI backlogs to ensure alignment with company goals
• Defining, maintaining, and communicating the overall data platform roadmap
• Leading and facilitating agile ceremonies, sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives, and stand‑ups
• Tracking progress and delivery metrics, ensuring visibility across teams
• Partnering with technical leads to scope projects, estimate effort, and ensure delivery feasibility
• Championing best practices in documentation, data governance, and communication

QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years’ experience in product management within a data/analytics team or similar
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, able to balance business needs and technical priorities
• Proven experience running agile processes (Scrum or Kanban)
• Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into actionable user stories and deliverables
• Familiarity with modern data stacks (e.g. AWS, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Quicksight, etc.)
• Understanding of data lifecycles, data quality, and the principles of good data management
• Familiarity with data modelling concepts, SQL and APIs

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE

• Exposure to financial services, fintech, or regulated environments

COMPENSATION

Salary of £75,000 – £90,000, plus benefits.

BACKGROUND CHECKS

As a regulated business we are required to run background checks for all employees, covering adverse financial and unspent convictions. These will only take place upon a successful job offer.

We collectively believe that the companies serving two of our most important needs – our financial wellbeing and our planet’s future – are failing. And we want that to change.
