Company Profile
Segen Ltd was formed in 2004 and is the UK’s largest Wholesale Distributor of Solar PV, Energy Storage Systems and EV-charging. With a growing European and international focus Segen is now part of the Labora Group since 2021. Segen Group turnover is more than £300m and growing at over 50% per year so there has never been a better time to join the team. Our customer base consists of commercial and residential installation companies. Access to our unique on-line portal and design tool, plus our emphasis on product quality, consistency and availability sets us apart in the market. Segen is a fast-moving business that responds quickly to any market changes supported by its bespoke ERP system and database and team.
Why this role is exciting:
We're in the middle of a significant digital transformation.
We're not only redesigning products and services. We're rethinking how we work, how we make decisions, and how modern product teams use technology to deliver better outcomes.
This is an opportunity to help shape the future of our digital experience. While you'll initially join our eCommerce team, you'll have opportunities to influence initiatives across the wider business as we expand into new markets across Europe and South Africa.
We're looking for someone who enjoys operating across the full product lifecycle. One week you might be uncovering new customer opportunities through research and discovery; the next you'll be improving complex user journeys through experimentation, A/B testing and iterative optimisation.
You'll help define not only what we build, but how we build it.
What you’ll do:
Shape Product Direction
- Partner with Product Managers to identify opportunities and define future product investments
- Help teams move from assumptions to evidence-based decisions
- Bring strategic thinking to complex business and customer problems
- Contribute to product vision, roadmap discussions, and long-term planning
Champion Customer Centred Design
- Build strong connections with customers through interviews, observation, testing, and research
- Translate customer insights into opportunities, priorities, and product decisions
- Advocate for customer needs while balancing commercial objectives
Explore New Opportunities
- Contribute to initiatives supporting growth in Europe, South Africa, and other future markets
- Explore new experiences, services, and business models that can create value for customers
Drive Innovation & New Ways of Working
- Help define how AI and emerging technologies can improve both customer experiences and internal product development processes
- Experiment with new approaches to discovery, design, prototyping, and validation
- Bring fresh ideas and challenge existing assumptions
Deliver Great Design
- Create thoughtful, intuitive user experiences grounded in customer insight
- Produce high-quality design work with strong attention to detail
- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Commercial, and Operational teams to bring ideas to life
What we're looking for
Must-haves
- Strong portfolio demonstrating both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery
- Experience leading discovery work and influencing product direction
- Deep curiosity about customer behaviour and motivations
- Experience planning or conducting user research
- Ability to connect customer needs with business outcomes
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shaping opportunities from loosely defined problems
Bonus
- Experience working in ecommerce, marketplaces, SaaS, or B2B products
- Experience entering new markets or designing for international audiences
- Experience building research practices, frameworks, or communities
- Interest in AI-assisted product development and emerging technologies
- Interest in sustainability and renewable energy
Employee benefits
What we offer:
- 25 days holiday
- EV Car scheme
- Pension
