Join to apply for the Group Product Manager – Accounts role at Seccl
This is a hybrid role requiring two to three days a week in our London office, and travel to Edinburgh or Bath a few times per quarter.
About us
Seccl is the Octopus‑owned embedded investment platform that’s on a mission to help more people invest – and invest well. We’re B‑Corp certified, have an impressive product‑market fit, early traction, and the potential to transform an outdated industry for the better. We’re proud to be part of Octopus, the multi‑billion‑pound group that revitalises broken industries through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Money.
The role
We’re looking for a Group Product Manager to lead the Accounts tribe, a critical part of the Seccl platform, which sits at the heart of how investors and advisers interact with Seccl – from tax‑efficient wrappers to pensions, investment strategies and account‑level functionality.
Your tribe will include:
* Investment wrappers such as JISA, ISA and GIA, ensuring smooth, compliant experiences across firms and end investors
* SIPP capability and the infrastructure needed to support a range of pension use cases
* Enabling advisers and investors to access the right assets aligned to risk profiles
* Account‑level functionality such as fees and inter‑account movements
You won’t lead a single squad day‑to‑day. Instead, you’ll lead multiple Product Managers across several squads, setting direction, aligning priorities, and driving strategic initiatives across your domain. You’ll work closely with two other Group Product Managers (Custody and Experience) to shape the end‑to‑end platform roadmap.
On a typical day you will
* Set the vision and strategy for the Accounts tribe, shaping direction 6‑18 months ahead
* Build and maintain clear, coherent roadmaps that balance short‑term delivery with long‑term impact
* Develop strong relationships with advisers, developers and firms, deeply understanding their workflows, pain points and needs
* Lead, coach and support Product Managers, helping them grow, prioritise effectively, and deliver meaningful outcomes
* Work closely with engineering leadership to deliver scalable, reliable, compliant platform capabilities
* Drive alignment across squads, ensuring shared context, cross‑functional collaboration and consistency of approach
* Champion customer‑centric product decisions through continuous discovery, data‑driven insights and tight feedback loops
* Collaborate with commercial, operations, support and compliance teams to balance current and future customer needs with business opportunities
* Promote operational excellence, improving processes that impact experience and efficiency
* Contribute to product culture, shaping how we scale our ways of working as the organisation grows, acting as one product leader with the other Group Product Managers
This role is for you if
* You have experience leading multiple squads or teams within a high‑growth, API‑first fintech, or regulated environment
* You are a strategic thinker, balancing long‑term vision with execution
* You have a strong commercial mindset, understanding how product decisions impact business growth
* You can build deep relationships with customers, acting as their advocate within the business
* You are an excellent people leader, coaching and mentoring product managers to excel
* You have a track record of improving processes and driving operational efficiencies
* You work closely with engineering leadership, ensuring a strong product‑engineering partnership
* You thrive in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments, using data to drive decisions
This role isn’t for you if
* You have never managed people
* You have never invested and don’t use any investment platforms
* You rely on top‑down direction. You will have significant freedom and ownership to shape your progression and deliver outcomes here
* You’re not comfortable in a fast‑paced environment. Our agility and scalability are what set us apart, and we expect quick thinking and adaptability
* You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who follow through and deliver on what they set out to achieve
* You don’t like change. You’ll thrive here if you embrace the ambiguity of rapid growth and see change as an opportunity rather than a challenge
What’s in it for you
* A salary between £110,000 and £120,000 – dependant on experience and reviewed annually
* 27 days holiday plus bank holidays (some can be flexible), a day off on your birthday and three days (full time) per year for dependant leave
* Two volunteering days per year
* Length of service award – one month paid sabbatical at eight years
* 6% employer pension contribution and life assurance
* Private medical insurance with AXA Health
* Enhanced parental leave
* MacBook and up to £500 home office set‑up budget
* £750 per person learning budget
* Option to work abroad for up to six weeks a year
* Health and wellbeing initiatives including free therapy via Wellness Cloud and mental health support via Headspace
* Strong financial wellbeing focus including access to Octopus Money, Octopus Share Incentive Plan, wallet writing offering via Octopus Legacy and Seccl invest (our own platform for you to manage your investments)
* Perkbox – flexi‑points giving you a range of discounts and perks including free weekly coffee, gym and retail discounts
* Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work and Octopus Electric Vehicle Leasing
Our culture
We’re proud to put people first, creating a culture where we truly listen to what matters most to them. Our transparent and inclusive environment encourages diversity of thought, challenge and experimentation.
Interview process
* First stage – 45‑minute competency‑based interview with a Group Product Manager
* Second stage – one‑hour technical interview or assessment with the hiring manager
* Final stage – 45‑minute bar‑raiser culture‑based interview
We’ll only close this role once we have enough applications for the next stage. Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out, and you should expect to hear back from us within one to two weeks of applying.
Diversity and inclusion
Our aim is to build a diverse and inclusive company of awesome people, with unique skills, passions and experiences. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to age, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, or veteran, neurodiversity or disability status.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’d love to hear from you!
