We're one of the largest lenders in the UK used car finance market. With over 40 years of experience in motor finance, we’re recognised as one of the industry’s leading providers.

We’re part of the Aldermore Group, which includes Aldermore Bank plc. Through our specialist mortgages, savings accounts, and business finance solutions, we’re backing more people to go for it. We thrive on saying “yes” to our customers — supporting entrepreneurs and startups, helping first-time buyers onto the property ladder, and opening up the lending market. Thousands of customers choose MotoNovo Finance every week to buy their next car, van or motorbike.

This is where you come in. We’re on an exciting journey — and we’re looking for someone to help us reach our next destination.

Let us tell you a bit about the opportunity

At MotoNovo Finance, we’re reshaping what’s possible in the Motor Finance space. We’re looking for a strategic and experienced Senior Product Manager to lead and optimise our evolving product suite. This is a key role in shaping the future of our Motor Finance offering, creating value for customers, the business, and our wider stakeholder community.

Reporting directly to the Head of Motor Product & Propositions, you’ll have full end-to-end ownership of your assigned product lines — from shaping the vision to delivering results. You’ll also lead a small team of Product Specialists, championing best practice, regulatory compliance, and innovation across the product lifecycle.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your insights and ideas make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

What will your day look like?

No two days are the same, but here’s a flavour of what you can expect:

• Managing and optimising your product line(s) from design to enhancement, closure and everything in between
• Developing insight-led product roadmaps that balance customer needs with commercial goals
• Collaborating with colleagues across Strategy, Risk, Marketing, Credit and Operations
• Leading product governance activities, embedding robust controls and compliance
• Using customer feedback and data to improve journeys and outcomes
• Preparing clear business cases and documentation to support change
• Monitoring and reporting on product performance, including commercial value and supplier delivery
• Coaching and mentoring Product Specialists, fostering a culture of high performance and continuous learning
• Influencing senior stakeholders using your knowledge of market trends and industry developments
• Driving innovation and identifying opportunities for strategic and operational improvement

What we expect from you

We’re looking for someone with a strong track record of product leadership in complex, regulated environments. You’ll be comfortable managing ambiguity, driving change, and influencing at all levels.

You’ll also bring:

• Experience delivering change through cross-functional collaboration
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to turn data into strategic insight
• Confidence in solving complex challenges and balancing multiple priorities
• A passion for great customer outcomes and building long-term value
• Clear, inclusive communication skills across a variety of formats
• A team-first mindset and enthusiasm for developing and supporting others
• The ability to plan and manage performance — both your own and the team’s
• Familiarity with the Motor Finance industry and associated regulation (desirable, not essential)
• A results-driven approach, consistently delivering to time, quality and budget

What can you expect from us?

• A hybrid working policy – with 3 days per week in our brand-new, central Cardiff office
• A flexible and supportive culture
• Plenty of opportunities for growth and career development
• A focus on continuous improvement, where your ideas can drive change from day one
• A competitive reward package with a strong range of core benefits and bonus potential
