Junior Technical Product Manager

Acre is rebuilding the UK’s £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages. Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We’re covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow, to getting your keys. We’re guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers. Over the past year, mortgage submissions through our platform have grown by 200%, a clear sign that we’re helping mortgage businesses scale faster and smarter. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for ambitious people to join us in transforming the industry and shaping the future of home buying.

The start of 2026 has already been exciting, as Acre is now part of The ClearScore Group. This partnership strengthens our ability to innovate and deliver the best mortgage and protection platform. Join our product team to help change the way people buy homes!

The Role

We’re looking for a Product Manager to build services that surprise and delight homebuyers, supporting them through every stage of their journey. You’ll collaborate with teams across product, engineering, design, customer success, sales, and leadership to understand our users, balance priorities, and bring valuable new experiences to market. Acre is a product-led organisation where collaboration between product, design, and engineering drives everything we do. Our platform already powers a large share of the UK mortgage market and your impact here can grow without limits.

Responsibilities

• Run a tight product development process which you continually evolve introspectively, based on hard data.
• Work with stakeholders (including sales, customer success, and management) to identify the desired consumer experiences we should invest in, based on broader business requirements.
• Develop and maintain product roadmaps based on consumer needs, business requirements, and your available resources, so that we deliver the maximum value to home buyers and the business.
• Work with our UX team to test ideas and designs with customers, validating before building – and then to optimise them in the field.
• Plan deliveries, and prioritise work for your team using the software development process, including agile artefacts, ceremonies, and stand-ups.
• Work with the quality, delivery and customer success teams to organise and plan testing and acceptance of your deliverables, including analysis and management of support issues.
• Ensure we collect the right data about our users’ behaviour to identify problems before they’re reported, and to be able to effectively track and optimise sales.

About you

You’ve got at least one year’s real-world experience in a (preferably consumer facing) software business in a product or analysis role, or five or more years in one where you’ve been exposed to the product process and have thought “I can do that better”. You’re relentlessly driven to improve our users’ experience and deliver the outcomes that we and our brokers need. You quickly pick up domain knowledge, becoming a go-to expert on both our product, the wider market and our customers’ needs. You’re an all-rounder rather than a specialist and enjoy a variety of work – from detailed problem solving and commercial analysis through to interviewing customers and collaborating with colleagues. You are comfortable with ambiguity and demonstrate flexibility and positive action when faced with multiple objectives in a fast-paced environment. You understand how to leverage complex, imperfect data. You are eager to learn, naturally curious, and you continually grow your own abilities while drawing on and learning from the strengths of others.

Qualities that will help you succeed

• Demonstrated product experience and attention to detail.
• Be a people person, eager to build relationships and collaborate with stakeholders and peers.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience with Agile frameworks and key supporting tools.
• Solid enough mathematical skills to be able to work out what is data and what is noise – and show how you’ve improved things.
• Know how to work with, and challenge, stakeholders to gather complex requirements and ruthlessly prioritise.
• You have previously worked in a startup or an early-stage, fast-growing team or company.
• Knowledge of JIRA, Matomo and Mixpanel or similar software.

What we offer

• A chance to make an impact within a high growth fintech start-up.
• Monthly team social events, from trips to Brighton to picnics in the park.
• One week of free accommodation for those relocating.
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Opportunity to earn equity through our EMI option scheme.
• Company laptop and supporting tech.
• Private healthcare and a cash plan.
• Pension contribution matched by Acre up to 4%.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Breakfast, snacks and drinks provided in our vibrant Shoreditch office.

We’re looking for people that will get stuck in and make a difference. We have a great collaborative, entrepreneurial team that are passionate about what they do. If you want to join a team that is changing people’s lives for the better, then we’d love to hear from you.
