Description
We’re looking for a Product Manager to join our Financial Services and Insights team (TAG), part of Lightstone Auto’s Product & Transformation function. The role reports to the Strategist: Financial Services and Insights. You’ll own the product vision, direction and roadmap for an assigned product portfolio. Working within the guardrails set by your Strategist, you’ll turn strategy and deep customer insight into clear product outcomes, priorities and roadmap choices. You’ll work closely with Product Owners, Technology and Commercial teams to deliver measurable value. Within your first 90 days, you’ll map out roadmaps for both new and existing products.
What you’ll do
- Own the product vision, direction and outcome-led roadmap for your portfolio, aligned to team strategy and business goals.
- Develop a deep understanding of customers, users, workflows, pain points, market context and product usage.
- Lead product discovery to validate problems, assumptions and potential solutions before committing to delivery.
- Prioritise competing opportunities, enhancements, technical needs, compliance requirements and operational demands based on value, evidence and strategic fit.
- Define measurable outcomes and KPIs, and use data, customer feedback and commercial performance to keep improving the product.
- Partner with Product Owners to turn roadmap intent into delivery-ready work.
- Work with Commercial, Sales, Support and Marketing on adoption, pricing, proposition clarity, launch readiness and value realisation.
- Contribute to pricing, business cases and product investment decisions with Commercial and Finance.
- Manage the full product lifecycle, from launch and growth through to optimisation, rationalisation and retirement.
- Communicate the roadmap openly, so stakeholders understand the priorities, the trade-offs and what won’t be done.
