Product Manager (Pensions)

Responsibilities

We are looking for a Product Manager to own and drive our Pension proposition. You will lead our newly launched Pension proposition and work within a cross‑functional pod spanning engineering, design, ops, and compliance. You will be accountable for the end‑to‑end Pension product: from shaping the roadmap to driving delivery and iterating on outcomes.

We are not looking for someone who waits to be told what to do. We want someone who brings energy, opinions, and urgency, who can identify what matters most, make a call, and take people with them.

• Own and drive the Pension product roadmap from concept to delivery with a clear view on what will move the needle for customers and the business.
• Work closely with leadership to agree the strategy for Pension.
• Lead ideation and concept refinement and define requirements with a dedicated engineering and design partner, making fast, well‑reasoned product decisions.
• Work in our AI‑native product development lifecycle, leveraging AI tools actively in how you research, prototype, spec, and iterate.
• Manage complex stakeholder relationships across operations, risk, compliance, commercial, and senior leadership, communicating clearly and building alignment.
• Define and own success metrics for the Pension proposition, using data to identify opportunities and course‑correct quickly.
• Coordinate third‑party provider relationships relevant to the Pension product (e.g. SIPP providers, platform integrations).

Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Start your weekend early!)
Enjoy a structured yet balanced workweek, with an early Friday finish to kickstart your weekend!

• Product management experience, ideally in a scale‑up or high‑growth environment.

• Commercially minded: you keep revenue, cost, and business model implications front of mind in every product decision.
• AI curious: you use AI tools actively in your day‑to‑day product process and see them as a genuine advantage, not a novelty.
• Experience in fintech, with strong preference for investments, wealth management, or pension products.
• Familiarity with the UK pension landscape, including SIPP products and pension transfers.
• Understanding of the regulatory environment relevant to pensions (FCA‑regulated products, consumer duty, etc.) is a plus, though not essential from day one.
• Comfortable presenting and aligning with senior leadership, including at exec level.
• Clear, direct communicator — written and verbal — who can adapt their style to different audiences.
• Able to navigate operations, compliance, risk, legal, and commercial stakeholders without losing pace or momentum.
