• Turn data into action, digging into performance, testing ideas and uncovering opportunities to grow the business and solve meaningful problems.
• Win support for bold ideas, building compelling commercial cases that make the opportunity, economics and trade-offs clear to senior stakeholders.
• Take ideas through to launch, partnering with Technology to define problems, set priorities and deliver changes with measurable impact.

About you
• You've made a measurable commercial impact, owning meaningful outcomes in a product, lending or regulated environment and understanding the levers that drive performance.
• You combine commercial ambition with sound judgement, making decisions that balance growth, profitability, cost, risk and customer outcomes.
• You're curious enough to dig deeper, getting hands-on with data, doing your own analysis and turning evidence into clear decisions.
• You know how to make change happen, taking ideas through to delivery alongside cross-functional engineering teams and seeing them through to impact.
• You can make the tough calls, focusing time and investment on the opportunities that matter most when there's more to do than capacity allows.
• You bring clarity to ambiguity, uncovering the real problem, shaping a way forward and building momentum without waiting for a perfect brief.
• You bring people with you, influencing senior stakeholders, working through competing priorities and getting into the detail to move things forward.
• You make complex ideas compelling, communicating simply and writing business cases that help senior leaders make confident investment decisions.
• You get out and listen, spending time with customers, partners or users and using what you learn to challenge assumptions and shape better products.
• You build with good judgement, understanding the demands of a regulated environment and involving Risk, Compliance and Legal early enough to shape strong solutions.
Added bonus:
• You've built products that connect businesses and customers, whether through B2B, B2B2C, marketplaces or partner-led models.
• You've helped a business scale, growing a product or commercial proposition and navigating the challenges that come with greater volume and complexity.
• You can explore the data yourself, using SQL or another language to investigate questions and uncover opportunities independently.
• You know the motor finance landscape, with experience across dealer or broker distribution, vehicle valuations, HP or PCP.
• You've shaped the mechanics behind commercial performance, influencing risk-based pricing, rate cards, commissions or similar levers.
• You've made partnerships work, collaborating with third-party providers or strategic partners to deliver better outcomes.
• You enjoy helping others grow, with experience coaching, developing or managing a more junior Product Manager.
• You're familiar with tools that support delivery and insight, including Jira, Confluence and self-serve BI platforms.
