About the Role
The Product Manager will join the team on a fixed-term basis for an initial 3 months, working on a hybrid model from the London office. The role holder will report to the Head of Product, shaping solutions, defining problems, and driving product outcomes to improve client experience. Responsibilities include owning defined product problem spaces across core platforms within the EMEA region and contributing to globally aligned product development. The Product Manager is expected to operate as an empowered product leader, owning outcomes end-to-end across discovery, roadmap, and go-to-market.
Responsibilities
- Own defined product areas or problem spaces across multiple platforms, aligned to regional priorities and global product strategy.
- Identify, frame, and prioritize customer and business problems, working closely with clients, regional stakeholders, and internal teams.
- Act as the voice of the user and the business, ensuring product decisions reflect real needs and commercial context.
- Take ownership for solving problems, from small iterative improvements through to larger strategic opportunities.
- Lead end-to-end product discovery, translating insights into clear problem statements, solution hypotheses, and prioritized opportunities.
- Partner with design and delivery teams to test, validate, and refine solutions before build, owning the full product lifecycle from discovery to launch and post-release optimization.
- Define and own product roadmaps for assigned areas, aligned to Head of Product direction, regional business priorities, and global platform strategy.
- Make clear, outcome-led prioritization decisions, balancing client needs, commercial opportunities, and technical considerations.
- Manage and synthesize inputs from regional MDs and other stakeholders, ensuring decisions are well-informed but not consensus-driven.
- Work closely with delivery leads, engineers, and design teams to translate priorities into execution, staying close to delivery without becoming delivery-led, ensuring focus remains on outcomes rather than output.
- Partner with marketing, sales, and client teams to support go-to-market activity.
- Contribute to improving client and user satisfaction, product adoption, and competitiveness in new business opportunities, ensuring new features and enhancements are clearly positioned, understood, and adopted.
- Work closely with global product counterparts and actively contribute to building a globally aligned, product-led operating model, ensuring consistency across platforms, reuse of solutions where appropriate, and alignment to broader product direction.
- Actively contribute to building a globally aligned, product-led operating model.
- Operate as part of a high-performing product team, actively contributing to standards, practices, and ways of working.
- Partner effectively with shared design resources and cross-functional teams.
- Help elevate the overall capability of the product function through strong ownership, accountability, and bias for action.
Requirements
- At least five years’ experience in product management, ideally gained within digital, software, or platform-based environments.
- Proven experience within a Product Management function, preferably within an innovative corporate environment.
- A demonstrable ability to own product problem spaces and drive outcomes, rather than simply managing backlogs or delivery activity.
- Strong product discovery capability, with the ability to move from insight to action and translate customer, market, and data-led insight into clear product decisions.
- Experience working with enterprise clients or complex stakeholder environments, with the confidence to influence and collaborate across multiple stakeholder groups.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with a variety of colleagues and clients.
- Commercial awareness, with the ability to connect product decisions to business impact.
- An ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, evolving environments, taking ownership for shaping direction.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to remain composed, diplomatic, and professional at all times.
- Self-motivation, initiative, and a continuous improvement mindset, with the drive to solve problems and make practical suggestions for improvement.
- The ability to lead and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, development, marketing, and sales.
- Candidates must have the relevant work rights to be considered for an opportunity at MUFG Pension & Market Services.
- Successful applicants will be required to complete background screening prior to commencement of employment.
