Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Product Manager to help us lead and deliver one of the most innovative projects in our portfolio: the implementation of our Making Tax Digital proposition. This initiative is in response to upcoming UK legislation in April 2026, requiring sole traders and landlords to file their taxes more frequently and directly through software solutions.

This is a pivotal moment as we aim to deliver a best-in-class solution that attracts all customers who will be in need of software that helps them manage their tax obligations. To achieve this, we need an experienced product leader with a track record of driving zero-to-one product launches and turning complex user needs into innovative and scalable solutions.

This role involves collaborating closely across product development, go-to-market, and design teams to craft and execute our proposition. Beyond product execution, the ideal candidate will lead the pilot programme with early adopters, ensuring seamless user testing and feedback integration while resolving issues alongside the product teams.

This role offers the chance to define and execute the strategy for a game-changing product proposition, directly impacting how UK customers navigate digital tax filing.

If you\'re customer-obsessed, thrive in collaborative environments, and have experience building transformative software and mobile app solutions, this may be the opportunity for you to make a lasting impact on the future of tax filing in the UK.

• Execution at scale: Prioritise backlog tasks, manage day-to-day activities within the scrum team, and balance long-term strategic thinking with operational excellence.
• Progress updates to leadership: Regularly report on project milestones, customer insights, and progress against KPIs to senior leadership, driving alignment and accountability.
