Head of Product
Our digital products are at the heart of everything we do and we are looking for an experienced product leader to help us build a structured product management function. You will help us understand our customers and the problems they face, and work with the engineering teams to produce well thought out products which address them. As well as product management, you will be responsible for design and UX.
The role covers both our internal tools and our customer facing products, and you’ll be able to apply the same level of attention to detail and understanding of the users’ needs to both. You’ll take the lead in defining product management processes, and as a senior leader you’ll collaborate with the rest of the executive team to define our product strategy.
Who we are
We’re an ambitious team with big plans. Our goal is to be one of the defining tech companies of our generation by using technology to rebuild the process of selling a house from the ground up.
To us it seems unfair that people’s biggest asset is also the least liquid. Our vision is to allow every UK home-owner to get a fair offer on their house in minutes.
We’ve previously founded GoCardless and Songkick and are already on a faster growth trajectory than both. We’re backed by Europe’s leading VCs and entrepreneurs.
Having done it before, we know what it takes to be successful. We’re looking for people excited about building something that matters.
REQUIREMENTS
We’re looking for an experienced product leader with a proven history of delivering transformational products and managing product teams. Nested has ambitions to change how the property industry works and we want you to help us make it a reality.
More specifically, we believe:
- You’ll care about building the right product for our customers. You explore different methods until you’ve proven that the product has had the desired impact and we’ve learned effectively from the process of developing it.
- You’ll be analytical and detail oriented. You’ll be able to think about high level product issues in a structured way, but also get down into the weeds where necessary.
- You’ll have at your disposal a trusted toolkit of techniques to support product development, and plenty of experience using it.
- Although you may not have come from a software engineering background, you understand technology as your medium and the opportunities and constraints that it presents.
- You act as an enabler, thinking in terms of the output of your team as a whole, and are able to inspire them to do their best work.
We think you’ll probably have:
- Experience building product teams from scratch.
- Experience working with products with a significant internally facing element, or in companies with complex operational processes.
- Experience working in a high growth start-up environment.
- Experience in a role which involves leading UX and/or design.
