Product Manager

Zero Deposit is an innovative startup looking to revolutionise the property rental sector by offering products and services that meet the needs of tenants, landlords and agents. Our first product offers tenants the opportunity to avoid paying a traditional cash deposit and instead purchase a Zero Deposit Policy that provides the same protection to a landlord whilst freeing up cash for the tenant to spend on other things.
