Description WTW is making one of the most far-reaching investments in digital products in the risk and broking industry. At the heart of that investment is a Product team growing its group of Product Managers across the core product domains that together define how WTW's digital business operates and grows. Work Location:London (primary)/Ipswich This is a building role.You will own a product area from ambiguous problem to shipped, adopted outcome. Expect to spend most of your time with AI tools in hand - producing prototypes, evaluation sets and working increments that show what works - and to keep documents light, in service of the build. Judgement is the core of the job: knowing what to build, what to kill, and how your area connects to the squads, shared capabilities and end-to-end solutions around it. You will spend real time with the brokers, claims handlers and operations colleagues your products serve, and work day to day with your squad - engineers, designers and Product Analysts - to turn evidence into adopted product. The Product Domains The Product Teams support four product domains, each delivered by squads that pair product, engineering and design. Product Managers belong to one product community with shared standards and a shared craft; everyone has a home squad in one of these domains, with room to move as priorities shift. Home squads are agreed on joining, based on where the need is greatest and where your experience fits best. Client: How clients interact with and experience WTW's digital products, services, and embedded AI. Colleague: How WTW colleagues use digital tools to work smarter, serve clients better, and operate more effectively. Market Connectivity: Integrations and connections to external markets, carriers, capabilities, and marketplaces. Payments: How money moves between clients, WTW and carriers - premium and claims payments that are accurate, timely and increasingly automated. The Role Key Accountabilities Vision, Systems and Roadmap • Own the vision and roadmap for your product area - a clear, sequenced view of what comes next and why, that your squad and stakeholders can rely on. • Think in systems: see how your squad's work interacts with other squads, shared capabilities, regions and the wider product set; anticipate knock-on effects and put your effort where a small change makes a large difference. • Shape priorities from evidence - user insight, data and business context - and surface collisions, gaps and shared needs across the domain early. • Turn strategy into commitments your squad can plan against, and adjust course as evidence and feedback from the wider system come in. Discovery, Building and Evaluation • Spend time in the field with brokers, claims handlers and operations colleagues - understanding how the work actually happens before shaping how software should change it. • Frame problems before solutions: define the user and business need, the evidence behind it, and what success would look like - including how you will evaluate it. • Build to learn: use AI tooling to go from insight to working prototype within days, testing assumptions cheaply before committing the squad to a full build - and questioning whether the answer is a product feature, a reusable AI skill or a plug-in to an existing tool. • Set evaluation criteria and success signals up front - especially for AI-assisted or agentic features - so you and the squad know what good looks like before you ship. • Partner with design and engineering from first sketch to release, so what ships is usable, useful and adopted in the real flow of work. Delivery Partnership • Set out the problem, the outcome sought and the constraints - a paragraph, a prototype and an evaluation set often carry more weight than a lengthy requirements document - and work with your Product Analyst to turn what is agreed into stories the squad can act on. • Work day to day with engineering - making scope trade-offs openly, and using AI tools yourself so that less is lost between what you intend and what gets built. • Sequence delivery around dependencies with other squads, and keep the interfaces between your area and theirs clearly owned. • Ship iteratively - smaller releases, honest feedback and measured results guiding what to take further, double down on or stop. Business and Stakeholder Engagement • Build trusted working relationships with the business teams your squad serves - brokers, claims handlers and operations colleagues across regions. • Communicate the roadmap and progress honestly - what is on track, what has changed and why, including where working with AI changed the plan. • Bring business stakeholders into prioritisation, so trade-offs are made with them rather than announced to them. • Support adoption after release - walkthroughs, follow-up and listening for what to improve - and feed what you learn into the next cycle. Measurement and Continuous Improvement • Define how success will be measured for every initiative - adoption, usage, the business outcome it was built for and, where relevant, how well the model or agent performs - and track it with Product Operations. • Report progress with candour: what the data shows, what users say, and what should change as a result. • Contribute to the product community's shared templates, standards and practices - including emerging practice on building with AI and proving it works - so the craft rises across every squad. Qualifications What you'll bring Essential • A record of taking a product area from open problem to shipped, adopted outcomes, with evidence of hands-on building along the way - prototypes, working demos, product increments. • Strong discovery craft: framing problems, researching with users, and testing assumptions before committing build. • Practical fluency with AI tools: able to take an idea to a working prototype yourself, judge whether a problem needs a rule, a model or an agent, and define evaluations for AI-assisted features. • Systems thinking: you can trace how a change in one part of a product propagates through the rest, and find the small set of changes that move the whole system. • Judgement to prioritise well - weighing evidence, effort and outcome - and to know what not to build. • A clear communicator and facilitator - as credible with a broker or claims handler as with an engineer - with a collaborative, high-trust way of working that makes the squad and partners around you more effective. • Data literacy - comfortable defining measures, interrogating data and using evidence to make the case for a change. Desirable • Experience in insurance, broking or another regulated financial services environment. • Experience shipping AI-powered or agentic products in production, including designing the evaluations and guardrails around them. • Experience in a global organisation, navigating regional variation in user needs and ways of working. • Familiarity with delivery and documentation tooling such as Jira, Azure DevOps or Confluence. A note on career track. This role sits on the builder path within the product community: strong performers can progress to Staff or Principal Product Manager without moving into people management. The practitioner and management tracks run in parallel and carry equal weight. If this role appeals to you but you don't meet every requirement, we'd still encourage you to apply - we would rather hear from you than miss you. Why Join WTW Digital Products? • Own products used every day by thousands of brokers and their clients across global markets - what you ship moves real business. • Join a product community with shared standards, peer support and clear routes to grow - toward senior product roles, or deeper into the craft. • Be close to the frontier of applying AI in one of the most knowledge-intensive industries in the world. • Join while the team is still forming - the ways of working are yours to help shape. • Strong compensation, flexible hybrid working, and a genuine commitment to inclusion and career development. What we offer Enjoy a benefits package designed to help you thrive, both professionally and personally. You'll receive 25 days of annual leave plus an extra WTW day to relax and recharge. Our comprehensive health and wellbeing offering includes private healthcare, life insurance, group income protection, and regular health assessments, all giving you peace of mind. Secure your future with our defined contribution pension scheme, featuring matched contributions up to 10% from the company. We support your growth and balance with hybrid working options, access to an employee assistance programme, and a fully paid volunteer day to make a difference in your community. On top of these, you can opt into a variety of additional perks including an electric vehicle car scheme, share scheme, cycle-to-work programme, dental and optical cover, critical illness protection, and much more. Start making the most of your career and wellbeing with a range of benefits tailored for you. Equal Opportunity Employer We're committed to equal employment opportunity and provide application, interview and workplace adjustments and accommodations to all applicants.

Treasury Manager Local authority, West Yorkshire Permanent £58,000- £62,000 Hybrid Why this job exists For years, this council's treasury work was done by another organisation, which looked after it alongside billions of pounds of its own money. That arrangement has now ended, and the council has decided to bring treasury in-house and build it properly. So this is a brand new permanent role. Nobody has done it before you, and you'd shape how it works. What the job involves Most of it is about your mornings. You'll look at the cash position, speak to the brokers, and decide whether the council should invest surplus cash or arrange some borrowing. Then you'll make the deal. The aim is simple: earn as much as possible on the cash and keep borrowing as cheap as possible. Behind that sits a debt portfolio of more than £800 million and cash balances of over £100 million. There's more to it than the daily deals. You'll write the Treasury Management Strategy, report to senior leaders and elected members on how things are going, look after the treasury entries in the year-end accounts, and act as the person colleagues come to with treasury questions. What it isn't It isn't a trading floor. Councils have rules about where their money can go, so you won't be dealing in hedge funds or exotic products. Most of the investments are short-term money market deals and lending to other local authorities. Some people from the markets might find that too narrow. Others will be glad to keep the interesting technical work and leave the pressure and the late nights behind. It also isn't a people-management job. You'll have no direct reports. You'll work alongside the Strategic Finance Manager and her team, and your time goes on treasury rather than on managing people. Who I think this would suit You don't need to have worked in local government. If you understand investments, cash flow and borrowing, and you've done deals through brokers, the council will help you learn the public sector rules. So this could be a great fit if you've worked in: banking (investment or commercial), money markets or capital markets fund services or investment management government-backed finance, such as the British Business Bank treasury or financial services audit, with a CCAB qualification behind you (ACA / ACCA / CIMA / CIPFA ) On qualifications, the council is flexible. CCAB, CFA or CISI are all welcome. So is part-qualified, AAT or a degree if you have solid investment experience. Strong experience on its own can count too. The team and the deal The finance team has been through a big restructure and has come out well. Last year's accounts and audit are done, and the team is settled and capable. The Head of Finance is properly flexible about hybrid working. You'll need to come into the West Yorkshire office regularly, but you won't be expected there five days a week. The salary starts at £58,000 and goes up to £62,000. You'll also join the Local Government Pension Scheme, which is one of the best pensions around. Interested? The council can move quickly. If this sounds like you, the first step is an informal chat with the team, so you can ask your questions before deciding whether to apply. Get in touch with me, Lucy Rider, at Broster Buchanan, and I'll give you the full picture.

You must be based in the South East of the UK.

We specialise in advising business owners, directors and shareholders who are considering the sale of their company, supporting clients from their initial exit planning through to a completed transaction. Following continued growth and an increasing number of business owners choosing Knightsbridge to manage the sale of their companies, we are looking for an experienced and commercially driven individual to join our team as Commercial Director - South East. This is an exciting opportunity to represent an established and highly successful business sales group across the South East, working directly with company owners on one of the most important commercial decisions they will make. The Role This is a senior, client-facing sales role working with business owners across the South East who are considering the sale of their company or planning their future exit. The territory will cover a broad area across the South East, and we would particularly welcome applicants based in or around Maidstone, Chatham, Gravesend, Basildon, Crawley, Woking or the surrounding areas. Unlike a traditional Business Development Manager role, you will not be expected to generate your own leads or appointments. You will be supported by our established Lead Generation and Diary Management teams, who will provide you with a consistent diary of pre-arranged and qualified meetings with business owners who have expressed an interest in discussing the potential sale of their company. Your focus is simple: meet business owners, understand their business and objectives, demonstrate why Knightsbridge is the right partner to manage their sale, and secure their instruction. During each consultation, you will conduct an in-depth fact-find to understand the company's operations, financial performance, ownership structure and the shareholder's objectives. You will review relevant financial information, discuss potential value ranges and the owner's expectations, and present a tailored strategy for taking their business to market, clearly demonstrating the benefits of working with Knightsbridge. Meetings will be conducted through a combination of remote video presentations and face-to-face appointments with business owners across the region. Key Responsibilities Conduct pre-arranged and qualified meetings with business owners considering a sale or exit. Build strong relationships and establish credibility with company owners, directors and shareholders. Undertake detailed fact-finds to understand each business, its financial performance and the owner's objectives. Review company accounts and key financial information.

Clearly communicate the benefits and value of appointing Knightsbridge to manage the business sale, with the objective of helping the business owner achieve the best possible price. Handle questions and objections confidently and commercially. Negotiate and secure formal client instructions. Maintain momentum with prospective clients through effective and persistent follow-up. Deliver an exceptional client experience with professionalism, empathy and diligence. Maintain complete discretion and confidentiality when dealing with sensitive business and financial information. Consistently achieve and exceed individual revenue targets. What We're Looking For Our preference is for someone with previous experience within business sales, M&A or a similar business brokerage environment, ideally with client-facing experience. Industry experience would be a significant advantage, as you will be dealing directly with business owners and discussing company performance, potential value ranges, exit objectives and the business sale process. However, it is not essential, and we would not want to overlook an exceptional salesperson with the right commercial ability and transferable experience. We are therefore also open to high-performing individuals from other consultative sales environments, particularly those accustomed to dealing with business owners, senior decision-makers or high-value transactions. This could include sectors such as estate agency, financial services, recruitment or property. Ultimately, we are looking for someone who can build credibility quickly, understand what matters to a business owner, present a compelling proposition and confidently secure the instruction. We are looking for someone with: A proven track record of achieving and exceeding sales targets. Strong closing and negotiation skills. The confidence and credibility to engage with business owners and senior decision-makers. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills. A compelling and professional presentation style. Strong commercial awareness and the ability to understand financial information. Good literacy and numerical skills. The ability to adapt their approach to different personalities, businesses and situations. Experience conducting remote/video sales presentations would be advantageous.
