We are looking for a product leader who thinks like a founder. Someone who owns a vertical end to end: the product, the P&L, the team, and the outcomes. This is not a coordination role. It is a building role.

You will own one of our core product verticals, ~£50m P&L business in its own right. You will be accountable for growth, product quality, and the full customer experience within your vertical. You will lead dedicated growth squads directly, and work closely with central platform teams to shape shared capability.

We are a company at the intersection of insurance and technology. You do not need to have worked in insurance before. You do need to care deeply about solving real problems for real customers who depend on your product.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• End to end product ownership: From discovery to delivery. You set the strategy, write the vision, define what gets built, and hold yourself accountable to the outcomes. The product is yours.
• P&L accountability: You think like a GM. Revenue, margin, loss ratio, and growth are all your responsibility. You know where your numbers are going and why, and you act on it without being told.
• Squad leadership: You lead a small number of growth focused squads directly. You set direction, remove blockers fast, and build a team that feels like they are building something that matters.
• Cross-functional influence: Central platform teams are a shared resource. You need to win prioritisation through clarity, credibility, and a compelling case. You are persuasive without being political.
• Customer and market insight: You spend time in your vertical’s world. You understand operator economics, the problems your customers face day to day, and what would genuinely make their lives better. You bring real insight, not research summaries.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Product taste and outcome orientation. Strong instincts for what is right for the customer. Manages to goals not outputs. Pushes back on roadmaps that do not connect to metrics that matter.
• Commercial fluency. Comfortable owning a P&L conversation. Can spot where value is leaking and prioritise accordingly. Finance does not intimidate you.
• Data depth. Forms hypotheses, designs experiments, and goes deep in funnel metrics and conversion data. Not a passenger in an analytics meeting.
• Technical confidence. Earns engineering respect. Understands trade offs, has opinions on build vs buy, and can write a sharp spec. Does not need to have been an engineer, but cannot be hand wavy about how things get built.
• Narrative and vision. Can write a compelling one pager, rally a squad around a north star, and sell it upward to exec and board level. Communication is a superpower.
• People leadership. Gives clear, honest feedback. Creates the conditions for their team to do their best work.

BACKGROUND SIGNALS WE LOVE

• Ex founder with a product background
• VP or GPM at a fintech or marketplace
• Product leader who grew into P&L ownership

We are not looking for a process manager or a portfolio coordinator. We are looking for someone who still has the itch to build: a product leader who has been forced by circumstance or ambition to own the whole thing, and loved it. If that sounds like you, we want to talk.
