It has more than 700 employees spread across global locations in the UK, US, China, India, Singapore, Brazil, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland and beyond.

Job Description

The Role

The Product Manager will take on end-to-end ownership of individual industry products within our product portfolio, from customer discovery and proposition through to launch, adoption and renewal. This position presents a unique opportunity to drive innovation in our existing and new products, aligned to Fastmarkets' strategic goals and our shift to industry-led propositions. The role will focus on both commercial and digital product outcomes, including incremental ARR, customer adoption and retention.

As a key contributor in our cross-functional product teams and industry growth pods, you will collaborate closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Editorial, Customer Success, Tech, Data, and Design contributors, ensuring that your insights and expertise shape the development process and our commercial propositions. You will work under the guidance of the Product Director and alongside other Product Managers in the team. If you are passionate about driving product excellence and eager to make a significant impact in a dynamic environment, we encourage you to apply.

Principal Accountabilities

  • Market Analysis: Conduct thorough market research to understand industry trends, customer behaviour, and competitive dynamics for your products. Use these insights, along with customer feedback and usage evidence, to support product strategy and roadmap development, working closely with the Product Director and Senior Product Manager.
  • Go To Market Framework: Support a go to market framework that delivers strong outcomes for the launch of new products, content sets and product features. This includes working with Product Marketing and Sales Enablement to ensure the commercial teams have the positioning, collateral and guidance they need to sell your products successfully, and tracking launch performance after release.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, sales, marketing, customer success and content (editorial, analytics) teams to ensure successful product development and launch. Contribute to industry growth pods and regular portfolio reviews, and foster open communication to align on goals and deliverables.
  • Customer Engagement: Engage with customers through interviews, surveys, and feedback sessions to validate product concepts and gather insights on user needs, pain points and the reasons behind low adoption or non-renewal.
  • Problem Solving: Employ creative problem-solving skills to address challenges throughout the product lifecycle. Innovate solutions that enhance user experience and product functionality.
  • Leadership & Initiative: Take initiative to identify opportunities for growth and improvement, and act as the product owner for your products when customer or sales feedback is received.
  • Forecasting & Measurement: Develop forecasts for product direction based on market analysis. Measure product performance, including usage, adoption, renewal and incremental ARR, against goals, adjusting strategies as necessary to ensure success.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
