Come and grow with our Nectar product family

Nectar is the largest loyalty coalition programme in the UK so it’s safe to say we know our millions of customers pretty well. We build brilliant tech on top of rich first party data, to offer brands an insight into what makes their customers tick and what they might be interested in. All this drives sales back into our stores and therefore our bottom line – win, win.

Our media agency technology is market leading, cutting edge and fast-moving. We’re at the heart of Nectar360’s strategy which means lots of eyes are on us – and you’d be central to our success. You’ll support end-to-end delivery by maintaining a 90-day product roadmap and full-year backlog. This, of course means prioritising effectively, escalating challenges as necessary and being hands-on with the development, delivering innovative functionality into the hands of users.

You’ll have your finger on the pulse of our development squads and work closely with a range of teams and third parties including some of the tech giants. You’ll have great support from your manager in this space and work together to drive the product forward.

You’ll be bold, curious, technically minded, resilient and empathetic and able to connect with stakeholders and the team in an authentic way. What’s more, you’ll be comfortable with making decisions, challenging assumptions and taking risks.

More about the role:

• You'll lead a cross-functional agile team in partnership with Engineering Managers, to drive third party integrations, strategy and roadmap.
• You will work with the team to shape which technologies we use and how best to deliver them to deliver on our strategy.
• You will research and evaluate new technology and/or solutions to benefit monetisation. You will explore the best approaches for our evolving capabilities, including where and how to leverage Artificial Intelligence.
• You’ll be technically minded; able to understand solutions at a level where you can work in depth with our Solutions Architects and Engineering team, but explain them to any stakeholder regardless of their technical prowess.
• You'll work with a large variety of stakeholders to steer the direction of development, interacting frequently with senior leaders and working closely with a range of teams and third parties.
• You'll track both effort and value delivery, identifying opportunities for cost reduction and use this insight to inform prioritisation.
• You’ll be responsible for coaching and mentoring other team members to enable them to grow and reach their full potential.
• Extensive experience in the Product Management discipline covering MarTech or digital product, market & customer research, owning roadmap, and delivery.
• Technically minded, able to get into the ‘nuts and bolts’ of a solution to understand how it works and whether it best meets our technical needs.
• Strong analytical skills to define product metrics and analyse performance.
• Experience in managing cross functional team, working with data scientists and data engineering.
• Possess knowledge and understanding of a retail business and technology landscape, and how to maximise the value that data products can and will add.
• Clear understanding of Agile delivery and modern engineering team practices.
• Judgement to make sometimes difficult and complex decisions at pace - comfortable dealing with ambiguous situations and helping drive toward clarity.
• An ability to creatively solve problems and enthusiasm for delivering change through people and technology.
• A high level of team contribution, seeking opportunities to provide input and support across the team and outside core areas of focus - a role model effective collaboration.
