Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the mobile product roadmap, balancing customer value, commercial impact, evidence, delivery effort, and dependencies.
• Translate the product vision and specifications into a realistic, phased release plan, deciding what features to build immediately or postpone.
• Collaborate with growth and commercial teams to understand demand, validate customer problems, and advance experimental features into production.
• Define detailed requirements, user journeys, acceptance criteria, and success metrics to guide engineering teams.
• Manage day-to-day product delivery with engineering—resolving uncertainties, managing scope trade-offs, identifying risks early, and ensuring high quality.
• Create intuitive mobile experiences that distill complex data and technical capabilities into trustworthy, user-friendly features.
• Analyze activation, engagement, retention, and feature adoption metrics alongside business outcomes; use feedback and data to enhance live products.
• Communicate priorities, progress, and blockers across teams; coordinate with distributed colleagues and identify talent gaps as the team expands.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum five years of relevant experience with tangible product ownership and successful delivery of consumer mobile applications.
• Proven track record of taking apps or significant product areas from initial versions through launch and growth phases.
• Strong technical acumen, able to engage with engineers on APIs, data flow, integrations, architectural constraints, and delivery decisions.
• Commercially and analytically minded, capable of linking customer problems to business value and defining success metrics.
• Excellent product and user experience judgment, able to simplify complex services for mobile users.
• Effective communicator with confidence to challenge assumptions, make decisions, and establish accountability while fostering productive relationships.
• Comfortable navigating the fluid priorities typical of early-stage environments without rigid frameworks.
• Available to work on-site with the London-based team.

Preferred Additional Experience

• Background in building consumer products within fast-growing technology or financial services companies, or scaling startup products.
• Experience with products featuring complex integrations, connected devices, or data-driven user experiences.
• Exposure to collaborations with AI or machine learning teams to convert technical capabilities into customer value.
• Working with distributed engineering teams and contributing to growth of small product functions.

Initial Priorities

• Gain a deep understanding of the current product, customer data, and engineering resources.
• Formulate a focused roadmap with clear release priorities, ownership, and success criteria.
• Establish an efficient delivery rhythm and implement priority improvements into production.
• Create a feedback loop connecting customer behavior, market demand, and product performance to inform future decisions.
