Senior Product Manager

At Kinsworth, we aren’t just building software; we’re building a product customers love and a successful business. To achieve this, we operate at pace, we're big believers in autonomous teams and iterative development. We're crazy about continuous improvement and knowledge sharing, and we want people who share our enthusiasm.

We strive to always build the right thing and build the thing right, so we place great emphasis on understanding exactly what our customers need and delivering quality products that exceed their expectations.

We think that high-performing teams operate best through a model of build-it and run-it that comes from a deep curiosity about how our products work and how our customers use them. We use this foundation to build comprehensive product knowledge and industry expertise, but we're not dogmatic about it.

We operate in build squads that operate independently but are aligned to the same goals and ways of working. We recognise that different drives guide our roadmaps from customer needs to commercial strategy to regulatory change, and managing those dependencies is best achieved through aligned team decisions.

We make customer success everyone's business — what we are going to do and how we do it are team decisions.

We strongly believe that you grow expertise through hands-on experience, rather than just theoretical knowledge, so our approach to product leadership is designed to give you deep exposure to our products, our customers, and the fintech industry really fast. And really often.

We build our product and tech function with focus on:

• Understanding Kinsworth, the industry needs and customer use cases

• Quality is at the heart of everything we do and not just a gate in a process

• Leading product roadmaps, planning and establishing best practices

• Developing expertise in the financial services industry and regulatory environments

• Building and maintaining exceptional customer relationships through team excellence

• Zero-to-one function building — creating product delivery frameworks, engineering performance systems, and product delivery processes from the ground up

• Building and leveraging AI technology to enhance product features and development workflows

• Work closely with the Head of Product, CTO and Engineering teams to shape the vision, strategy and delivery of the Kinsworth product.

• Own the product roadmap and backlog for your product area, making clear prioritisation decisions

• Turn customer insight, market opportunities and commercial needs into clear product opportunities and actionable solutions.

• Lead the discovery and definition of new propositions, working cross-functionally to take ideas from initial concept through to launch and market adoption.

• Identify customer needs and ‘jobs to be done’, using research and feedback to shape product strategy and uncover opportunities for growth.

• Take a 0–1 approach to product development, defining, building and testing MVPs to quickly validate ideas and drive product-market fit.

• Work closely with Sales and Marketing to develop clear product positioning and messaging, and support the successful launch and commercialisation of new products and features.

• Take real ownership of a product area, thriving in ambiguity and moving quickly to turn ideas into products that create value for customers and the business.

Location

We describe ourselves as “remote but not remote only”.

We believe work can be done anywhere but relationships and trust are built best face-to-face. And that the best teams take ownership for themselves.

We strongly believe our people should decide where they will do the best work for the company. We don’t support presenteeism, nor do we support missing important face-to-face meetings to receive an Amazon delivery at home. But if you take ownership of yours and your teams’ deliveries, and will work where you need to be to get the best outcome for the company, whether that be at home, in the office in London, or meeting strategic partners, then you’re for us.
