Product Manager — Data & Benchmarking Platform (Financial Services)
Central London (Hybrid — 3 days office / 2 days home)
£60,000–£100,000 + Equity
About the business
Our client is a fast-growing data and benchmarking company working with the world's leading financial services firms; banks, insurers, and payments providers, with a new asset management vertical launching later this year. They help these organisations visualise where they stand on AI capability, and then accelerate how effectively AI gets embedded across their business.
With around 60 clients, including 31 of the top 50 global banks; the business has doubled its revenue and client base year-on-year, closed a £5m Series A, and has been profitable since. It's a genuinely high-growth, well-backed environment with a clear ambition to scale further over the next couple of years.
About the role
Product is a brand-new function within the business. Until now, a single product manager has covered everything, a public benchmarking index, private client benchmarking, and the platform itself (the "Member Hub"). As the business scales, that's being split out, and this hire will take dedicated ownership of the platform product, the tool clients use to explore their data, track their competitive position, and self-serve insights that today mostly come through manual client queries.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be joining a small, non-agile dev team (currently 4-5 engineers) and working closely with a commercial director who oversees development, business development, and product. The role is deliberately more business-facing than technical; expect to split your time roughly evenly between shaping and prioritising the roadmap with internal and client stakeholders, and working with developers to get it built.
What you'll do
- Own the roadmap and day-to-day management of the platform product
- Turn feedback gathered by account management and business development teams into clear priorities (direct client research access is limited, so this feedback loop matters)
- Work closely with a small dev team to scope and deliver features
- Help drive the business's shift from largely manual, PowerPoint-based delivery towards a platform-first model, including automating report/deck generation where possible
- Bring project management rigour; stakeholders, timelines, dependencies — to a team that doesn't yet run on rigid sprints or formal agile process

What we're looking for
- Solid B2B product management experience, ideally in fintech or SaaS
- Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and translating ambiguous input into a clear plan
- Experience with data, research, or benchmarking platforms is a strong plus
- Experience helping a business move from manual/consultancy-style delivery to a self-serve platform model is a significant advantage
- Energy, pace, and comfort operating without an established playbook; this is a genuine culture-fit hire as much as a skills one
Benefits
- Equity for every employee
- Health insurance, with dental (£400/year) and optical (£200/year) top-ups available
- Brand-new central London office
- Hybrid working — 3 days in office, 2 from home
- Regular informal learning sessions on AI and industry developments
