Senior Technical Product Manager

Senior Technical Product Manager

Salary: £80,000 – 100,000

Role Type: Permanent

Location: London, hybrid (2 days p.w on site)

Futureheads has once again partnered with a pioneering B2B scaleup that's driving innovation within the insurance industry.

They’re a fully profitable Series B business, whose product is best thought of as no-code developer tool for insurers, giving them the Lego blocks to build models and price (mostly) atypical events - a 'real life’ example is their product was used to insure a space rocket launch!

Our client is widely trusted throughout the insurance industry and their product is regarded as an essential tool for many of the biggest firms in the UK. And excitingly, they’re now ready to break new ground in the US market, which presents an enormous opportunity for further growth.

With the business in excellent shape, they’re sustainability scaling and bolstering their Product Management function, with the goal of fine-tuning the core product, to provide even better experiences for users - actuaries who build and deploy pricing models.

It’s highly complex work, with plenty of creative and technical challenges to overcome. Hence, they’re looking to recruit an experienced and highly technical Senior Product Manager to help them on this journey.

To be considered for the role, you’ll need to have come from a backend engineering background, before moving into product management. Furthermore, you’ll have a firm understanding of modern developer tooling and a track record of successful 0-1 product delivery in a fast-scaling B2B SaaS company.

Despite the technical focus, versatility is still super important, as the dept is fairly new and all PMs are expected to wear many hats. In particular, it’s essential you can balance your technical mindset with user centricity, working in tandem with their Product Design team to understand user needs, create personas and map user journeys.

Requirements:

• Product Management / Technical Product Management experience in a B2B SaaS environment
• Experience working on open-source development tools or workflow management products is strongly desired!
• Backend / Software Engineering experience before a career shift into Product
• Track record of successful 0-1 product delivery
• Previously worked on highly complex, technical products
• A strong understanding of modern developer tooling (e.g. modern IDEs, Git, testing frameworks, SSH)
• A collaborative way of working with a heavy emphasis on teamwork and leading through influence
• A self-starting attitude: you enjoy managing your own time and work, within a high trust and high accountability, but high-support environment
