The role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager for our transfer squad to join us. You'll lead initiatives that scale how our operations team functions, help automate transfer processes, improve customer experiences in a highly regulated environment and transform the advice and investment space. In this role, you'll help shape Seccl's transfer solutions, working really closely with our clients and our operation team.

Transfers are a core part of our strategy, enabling our clients to scale and setting us apart in the UK market. We currently process nearly 15,000 transfers each month, with plans to grow this volume by 5 over the next year.

This is a high impact, high ownership role, ideal for someone who combines sharp product thinking, strong execution skills, and a passion for simplifying complexity.

This is an opportunity to:

• Shape the transfer strategy and roadmap for a fast growing fintech that wants to disrupt an outdate industry.
• Lead key product initiatives that directly impact how our operations team scales and becomes more innovative.
• Work closely with our enterprise clients to shape market leading transfer infrastructure.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and operations teams to identify the right tooling to automate tasks and solve complex customer problems.
• Contribute to a high performing, autonomous squad where your ideas will directly influence our success.
• Shape how we use AI to automate previously manual steps.
• Influence the broader product team and company strategy, while also acting as a mentor to more junior product managers.

On a typical day you will be

• Working closely with the Group Product Manager and Operations Lead to shape the strategy and maintain a clear, prioritised roadmap that addresses transfer customer pain points, scale the transfer volume without scaling the team and drives business outcomes.
• Collaborating as a pod with engineers, operations, and other stakeholders to solve scalability challenges for our transfer operations team.
• Translating product roadmap features into well defined requirements, including epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Prioritising and managing the sprint backlog, balancing stakeholder needs while maximising value for customers.
• Partnering with the Group Product Manager, stakeholders, and customers across the organisation to shape the product vision and strategy for the transfer area.
• Engaging directly with customers to gather requirements, validate solutions, and ensure the product delivers real value.
• Using both quantitative and qualitative data to inform evidence based decisions.
• Supporting the growth of junior product managers through mentorship.

You'll be successful in this role if you

• Have significant product experience - ideally in investment platforms, fintech, or another regulated domain (such as banking technology or insurance). While experience with APIs is bonus, a strong willingness to learn and adapt is just as important.
• Show a clear bias for action and proactivity - you take the initiative to spot opportunities, gather insights, and move things forward, even when the path isn't fully defined.
• Bring clarity to ambiguity - structuring problems and shaping them into actionable work.
• Are customer obsessed - always thinking about how to improve workflows and outcomes.
• Thrive in cross functional teams - collaborating across disciplines and navigating trade offs with empathy and focus.
• Support others - through mentorship, sharing knowledge, and modelling high standards.
• Communicate with impact - adapting style for technical and non technical audiences alike.

This role isn't for you if:

• You rely on top down direction. Here, you'll have a lot of freedom and ownership - it's up to you to shape your growth and deliver outcomes.
• You're uncomfortable in a fast paced environment. Our ability to move quickly and scale effectively is key to our success - we need people who can adapt and think on their feet.
• You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who not only think big, but also deliver.
• You resist change. We're growing quickly, and the environment can be ambiguous - you'll thrive here if you see change as an opportunity rather than a hurdle.
