As a Product Manager in UPL Growth, you will own a meaningful part of how we originate loans: the decisioning, data and product journeys that determine who we can lend to, how confidently we can make an offer, and how simply customers can access one.\nThis is far more than keeping a mature product moving. You will have the space to identify the biggest opportunities to improve conversion, eligibility and growth, then take them from a commercial hypothesis through discovery and delivery into measurable results. That might mean rethinking how we use third-party data, improving a partner journey, or changing the rules and logic behind our lending decisions.\nYou will work in a small, ambitious product team alongside three flexible backend engineering teams, with close partnership from Credit Risk, Data Science and First Line Risk. The work is complex, fast-moving and consequential: the decisions you shape will directly influence customer outcomes and the scale of Zopa’s lending business.\nThe work sits closer to commercial and analytical reasoning than to customer discovery - you will spend as much time interrogating data, sizing opportunities and shaping decisioning logic as you will running user research. If that sounds like the kind of PM work you are drawn to, this role is built for you.\nA day in the life\nOwn a defined area of the UPL growth roadmap, from opportunity sizing through to launch, measurementand iteration.\n\nTurn commercial and customer signals into a clear product strategy, choosing where to focus and what not to pursue.\n\nShape the origination and decisioning experience, including the rules, journeys and data that sit behind a customer receiving a loan offer.\n\nLead cross-functional discovery with Engineering, Credit Risk and Data Science to find the most valuable, feasibleroute to growth.\n\nDevelop propositions that give customers greater clarity and confidence before they invest time in a full application.\n\nMake the call on scope and sequencing, balancing customer value, risk, commercial returnand engineering effort.\n\nUse data to uncover friction, validatehypothesesand quantify the impact of your work.\n\nBring new growth ideas into the roadmap, from smarter use of existing data to new external data sources and partner opportunities.\n\nTranslate complex lending and technical problems into decisions that senior stakeholders can align behind.\n\nBuild, launch and continually improve products that help Zopa move closer to becoming the UK’s leading unsecured lender.\n\nAbout you\nYou are analytically strong and comfortable using data to find non-obvious product insight.\n\nYou have made product decisions that delivered measurable commercial outcomes.\n\nYou can partner closely with engineers through scope and timeline trade-offs.\n\nYou approach ambiguous problems with sound judgement and a bias for practical progress.\n\nYou communicate clearly with senior stakeholders across technical and risk-focused teams.\n\nYou are motivated by growth, efficiencyand business impact.\n\nAdded bonus\nExperience in lending, consumer creditor related financial products.\nFamiliarity with originations, underwriting, pricingor servicing.\n\nA quantitative foundation through study or equivalent experience.\n\nExperience in a fast-paced, data-led fintech environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3431,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
