Lead Product Manager
You want to build products that don't just work, they feel right, especially in the moments that matter most. As a Lead Product Manager, you’ll own the day-to-day product portfolio for a technology-led business supporting families during some of the most sensitive times in their lives. This is where strategic product leadership, customer empathy and delivery discipline converge, and you’ll be the person joining it all up.
You’ll sit between product strategy and execution, taking the Product Director’s vision and turning it into a clear, prioritised, realistic roadmap across a multi-product portfolio. At the same time, you’ll lead and develop a team of Product Managers, act as the escalation point when priorities collide, and increasingly represent Product at senior forums as you grow towards broader product leadership.
What You'll Do
- As Lead Product Manager, you will translate product strategy into a deliverable roadmap so everyone from Product to Technology to Operations knows what’s coming and why.
- You will lead, coach and develop a team of Product Managers, setting high standards for customer insight, commercial thinking and delivery discipline.
- You will take accountability for portfolio-level prioritisation, balancing customer value, commercial return, technical feasibility and operational impact when making trade-off calls.
- You will act as the day-to-day head of product, resolving cross-product conflicts, aligning stakeholders and keeping the roadmap outcome-led and realistic.
- You will collaborate closely with Technology, Delivery, Data, Marketing and Customer teams to ensure products are well defined, packaged, named and successfully launched.
- You will maintain a deep understanding of users, from families and officiants to funeral directors and crematoria staff, and feed insight back into roadmap decisions.
- You will represent and deputise for the Product Director in senior conversations, contributing to portfolio governance, pricing input, lifecycle decisions and investment priorities.
What You'll Bring
- As a Lead Product Manager, you have proven experience leading Product Managers or senior product professionals in a digital or technology-led environment.
- You have a strong track record of turning strategy into roadmaps that teams can actually plan against and deliver.
- You have hands-on experience managing a multi-product portfolio and making tough prioritisation and trade-off decisions across competing demands.
- You have a customer-first mindset with real empathy for users in sensitive or emotionally charged contexts.
- You are confident working cross-functionally with Technology, Data, Delivery, Marketing and Customer teams, backed by strong stakeholder management skills.
- You use qualitative and quantitative data to guide decisions, and you bring a coaching leadership style and growth mindset.
What's On Offer
- Competitive salary, details on application.
- Hybrid working from South Yorkshire, blending office collaboration with focused home working time.
- The chance to act as the de facto head of product for a multi-product portfolio, deputising for the Product Director.
- A role where your decisions directly shape bereavement experiences for families and frontline professionals.
- Clear progression opportunities as you build credibility and experience in product leadership.
- Benefits package, details on application.
If you’re a Lead Product Manager who wants to own a sensitive, multi-product portfolio and grow into broader product leadership, this is the role to explore.
