This new role will be responsible for product management and delivery on credit cards and loans across both of The Clients Brands.

They have revolutionised how consumers apply for credit cards and loans online but the market and consumer demands continue to change. As we make our service more personalised, proactive and painless this role will provide the product leadership to deliver a mobile first credit search, banking application process with the customer at the heart of everything. Using data from credit reference agencies, open banking and other 3rd party data sources this role will ensure that we remove frictions from customer journeys and continue to optimise the credit decisioning process.

Working with Commercial, Technology and Data partners internally and externally this new role will provide leadership to Product Owners/Managers on all aspects of the product strategy. This innovation requires smart design, bold simplification, regulatory support, data and exceptional partner relationships. The candidate will get the chance to really make an impact and bring design excellence to an outdated and very complex ecosystem.

* Manage risk for your products, working with data and research teams to ensure that

assumptions do not overtake evidence and best practise.

* Be on top of the health of the product, using analytics and other investigative tools to

ensure all aspects of the journey operate as expected.

product vision.

* Where required, help build detailed investment cases, presenting to key stakeholders.
