Product Manager

At Metro Bank, we believe the best banking experience starts with people who genuinely care. We’re not just delivering banking services - we’re building trust through authentic connections. Here, our people come first; our colleagues are part of a team that values individuality, collaboration, and long‑standing relationships. We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.

What you will do:

• The Product Manager will own the delivery and optimisation of Core Banking product outcomes as part of driving the next phase of innovation and growth for Metro Bank.
• Own the product backlog and delivery roadmap for the Core Banking product area.
• Translate the Core Banking product domain and platform strategy into clear squad‑level outcomes, priorities, and acceptance criteria.
• Prioritise work by balancing customer value, business impact, delivery feasibility, technical health, and regulatory requirements.
• Act as the primary product manager for the Core Banking squad, making timely trade‑offs to maintain delivery momentum.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Architecture, Operations, Risk, and Compliance to ensure solutions are viable, secure, and compliant.
• Define and track success metrics such as customer outcomes, adoption, operational performance, and time‑to‑value.
• Ensure alignment between squad delivery and wider domain, platform, and enterprise priorities.
• Actively manage dependencies with other squads and elevate risks or conflicts where required.
• Use customer insights, data, and operational feedback to continuously refine product features and journeys.

And… we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the ability to call out any concerns.

What you will need:

• Experience working as a Product Manager, Product Owner or similar role combined with a strong understanding of core banking products and customer journeys.
• Demonstrable experience delivering core banking products or features in a regulated and complex environment.
• Strong facilitation skills for backlog refinement, planning, and stakeholder alignment sessions.
• Familiarity with modern digital platforms, APIs, and system integration concepts.
• Exposure to agentic tooling would be desirable.
• Awareness of regulatory, risk, and control considerations in financial services.
• Understanding of agile delivery models and how product management operates within them.
• Excellent communicator who clearly articulates priorities, trade‑offs, and outcomes while effectively influencing and collaborating across product, technology, operations, and control functions.
• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders.

Our promise to you…

• We will make sure that you are well‑rewarded by providing you with a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus, and a wide range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts!
• We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!).

Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl?

Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
