Lead Product Manager

🚀 Lead Product Manager (Native Mobile App | Scaling business | Product Growth)

📍 London (2 days/week) | 💰 up to £120k

We’re working in partnership with a profitable, stable B2B2C Scaling business that’s reached a clear inflection point.

Their mobile app has launched, the 0→1 is done and the product is live, the focus now is scale: taking what exists today and turning it into a genuinely high-performing, repeat-usage product with strong activation, engagement and retention at its core.

This is a Lead Product Manager role, but also the most senior product presence in the business.

You’ll sit across squads, working closely with the CTO and PMs - moving between being hands-on in delivery and stepping up to lead, align and raise the bar across the wider product function.

🔧 What you’ll be responsible for

• Own and define the Product Development Lifecycle - from discovery through to execution and measurement
• Set a clear standard for what “good” looks like across product delivery and ensure it is consistently applied across squads
• Translate product vision into clear, executable roadmaps and outcomes
• Keep squads aligned, focused, and accountable for delivering against agreed goals
• Be hands-on in squads when needed - supporting shape, slicing, UX decisions and delivery clarity
• Drive consistent GTM and launch execution across teams to maximise adoption and impact
• Ensure outcomes are tracked and progress is visible, measurable, and acted on
• Partner closely with CTO to improve SDLC/PDLC flow and optimise delivery effectiveness
• Coach and support PMs to improve product thinking, execution quality and decision-making
• Act as the senior product voice internally, helping communicate direction and narrative across the business

⚠️ What this is not

• A pure strategy-only Head of Product role
• Stepping away from execution
• Centralising all decision-making away from PMs

🪴It is about:

👉 raising the bar for Product Craft

👉 creating clarity for the cross functional squads

👉 improving how product gets built and shipped

👉 enabling teams to move faster with better outcomes

🧠 What we’re looking for

• Experience in consumer-facing mobile apps (native app essential)
• Strong track record of driving activation, engagement and retention-led growth
• Experience leading multiple PMs or squads in a scale-up environment
• Comfortable operating between hands-on squad execution and senior leadership influence
• Strong product operating model experience (PDLC / delivery systems / ways of working)
• Experience with experimentation, A/B testing and data-led decision making
• Strong alignment with engineering on delivery flow, quality and prioritisation

This is an exciting moment in the product lifecycle - the foundation is built, the app is live, and now it needs to scale into something that genuinely drives daily behaviour and long-term engagement.

Success here will look like a step change in activation and retention, a more disciplined and scalable product operating model, and an app that becomes the primary way users engage with the platform.

If you’re someone who’s scaled mobile-first products, enjoys bringing structure to fast-moving environments, and cares deeply about building products people actually return to - this is a strong next step.
