Job description

About the role

Product Managers at Urban Jungle sit at the heart of our cross-functional teams. You’ll work on everything from improving our purchase and claims experience, to launching brand new products, to building world-class tooling for our Operations team (and so much more).

Day-to-day, you’ll get stuck in to understanding user needs, analysing data, running experiments, tackling interesting business problems and finding creative ways to solve them. You’ll have a huge impact on the business from day one.

In this role, you’ll work closely with our Product Director, Toby, as well as getting lots of exposure to our senior leadership team - who’ve previously led some of the world’s fastest-growing businesses - as you play a pivotal role in achieving our company’s growth plans.

Responsibilities

• You’ll be tackling our biggest business problems from the get-go, collaborating across various teams in the business, including insurance, operations, commercial, and of course, working very closely with our engineering teams.
• You’ll design and scope features to meet these goals. You’ll oversee their development, testing, and eventual launch.
• Once you’ve shipped key features, you’ll measure performance, identify improvements, and advocate for changes to make our products even better.
• You’ll manage cross-functional projects from end to end, showcasing your ability to bring teams together to deliver outstanding results.
• Of course, as a startup we’ll also expect you to roll your sleeves up and get involved wherever the company needs you.

What we need from you

• At least 3 years professional experience, including 2 years in a product role.
• A track record of building world-class products end-to-end that have created loads of value for customers as well as delivering business results.
• We are changing a huge financial industry - you are excited about being a part of this big opportunity (even if you know nothing about Insurance right now!)
• Bonus points if you’ve dabbled with SQL, HTML / CSS, Python or any other programming language.
• You’ll have the ability to think critically with experience in leveraging business data to drive results.

These requirements are a guide as to what we’re looking for, but if you don’t have all of the skills listed above, that’s okay! Please don’t let that hold you back from applying if the role excites you.

Process

We have designed a process that aims to get the right candidate working here as quickly as possible. If things are moving too slow for you, tell us!

It starts with an initial phone chat. Then we’ll ask you to complete a take-home task which is timeboxed to 2.5 hours which you’ll present at an in-person interview with our Product Director. Finally, you’ll get a chance to meet several members of the wider team.

Offer

We’re taking an office-centric approach to work (with lots of flexibility built-in) and the team is based in Oval, London.

In addition to our positive, open working environment, you can expect the following benefits of working at Urban Jungle:

• A starting salary of between £55,000 - £70,000*.
• Share options that can increase alongside performance and growth.
• 25 days paid annual leave,plus public holidays.
