This role is in our 5 Howick Place office. Join our dynamic team as a Product Manager for the LIONS portfolio, where you’ll combine strategic thinking with hands‑on product development to deliver exceptional digital experiences for our global audience.

Your Role

As a highly motivated and experienced Product Manager, you’ll work on our prestigious LIONS portfolio of subscription products. Your role combines strategic mindset with hands‑on product research and development, working closely with cross‑functional teams to define product roadmaps, translate business requirements, and ensure product solutions are backed by data, research, and deep understanding of user needs. Working closely with the Head of Product, LIONS Insight, you’ll contribute to product strategy and help shape and deliver the future of digital product roadmaps and services. You’ll need to be innovative, customer‑focused, and have a growth mindset, balancing product intuition, creative problem solving, and data‑driven decision making. You’ll collaborate with various stakeholders to evaluate product opportunities, determine what gets built and delivered to customers, and manage the UI/UX Team of designers to ensure total integration between user experience design and product design initiatives.

What You’ll Do

• Product Ownership & Strategy: Take ownership of features or product areas, ensuring alignment with business goals and delivery of meaningful customer experiences. Define product strategy by collaborating with stakeholders to translate high‑level business objectives into clear product/module strategies that drive growth and retention. Support the complete portfolio of subscription products through strategic planning and execution.
• Product Development & Lifecycle Management: Provide product lifecycle support and maintenance, including refining product backlog, managing routine stakeholder requests, triaging and prioritizing bugs, and supporting sprint ceremonies. Utilize outcome‑driven product development methodologies like Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Jobs to be Done (JTBD) to ensure data‑driven decisions focused on measurable business impact. Lead user testing and research initiatives, including A/B testing and customer research, to validate hypotheses and enhance user experience.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, UX/UI design, marketing, data science, and customer success teams to deliver high‑quality products that enhance user engagement and satisfaction. Serve as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring clear understanding of product vision, priorities, and expected outcomes. Manage and collaborate with the UI/UX Team to ensure seamless integration between user experience and product design.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For: Proven experience in product management and/or delivery within information services, SaaS, B2B, or B2C environments. Customer‑centric mindset with hands‑on experience in user research, usability testing, and A/B testing to validate and refine product decisions. Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills with a data‑driven approach to decision‑making.

Key Skills: Strong influencing skills for interacting with stakeholders and leading/developing teams with a customer‑led viewpoint. Familiarity with product analytics, frameworks, and user research tools. Ability to balance strategic thinking with tactical execution. Experience managing cross‑functional teams and complex stakeholder relationships.

Additional Information: We believe that great things happen when people connect face‑to‑face. That’s why we work in‑person with each other, or with customers and partners, three days a week or more. When you’re not spending time together in one of our offices or other workplaces – like at an Informa event – you get the flexibility and support to work from home or remotely. We work hard to make sure Life at Informa is rewarding, supportive and enjoyable for everyone.
