Lead Product Manager
You want to build products that don't just work, they feel right, especially in the moments that matter most. As a Lead Product Manager, you’ll own the day-to-day product portfolio for a technology-led business supporting families during some of the most sensitive times in their lives. This is where strategic product leadership, customer empathy and delivery discipline converge, and you’ll be the person joining it all up.
You’ll sit between product strategy and execution, taking the Product Director’s vision and turning it into a clear, prioritised, realistic roadmap across a multi-product portfolio. At the same time, you’ll lead and develop a team of Product Managers, act as the escalation point when priorities collide, and increasingly represent Product at senior forums as you grow towards broader product leadership.
What You'll Do
- As Lead Product Manager, you will translate product strategy into a deliverable roadmap so everyone from Product to Technology to Operations knows what’s coming and why.
- You will lead, coach and develop a team of Product Managers, setting high standards for customer insight, commercial thinking and delivery discipline.
- You will take accountability for portfolio-level prioritisation, balancing customer value, commercial return, technical feasibility and operational impact when making trade-off calls.
- You will act as the day-to-day head of product, resolving cross-product conflicts, aligning stakeholders and keeping the roadmap outcome-led and realistic.
- You will collaborate closely with Technology, Delivery, Data, Marketing and Customer teams to ensure products are well defined, packaged, named and successfully launched.
- You will maintain a deep understanding of users, from families and officiants to funeral directors and crematoria staff, and feed insight back into roadmap decisions.
- You will represent and deputise for the Product Director in senior conversations, contributing to portfolio governance, pricing input, lifecycle decisions and investment priorities.
