Founding Engineer (Full Stack) - Digital estate planning wealthtech
Location: UK-based, remote-first (with occasional London meet-ups)
Compensation: Founding equity + pre-seed salary
Start: Immediate
About Inheritly:
Inheritly is on a mission to make estate and legacy planning radically simpler, smarter, and more human. We’re building the global platform for digital legacy planning — one that integrates seamlessly into financial advice journeys, helps families plan with clarity, and unlocks lifetime value for advisers.
We’re starting with a sharp wedge into the UK IFA market — empowering advisers with a compliance-friendly, client-centric planning tool that improves engagement and drives product conversion. Our Alpha MVP is live, and we've secured strong design partner interest. Backed by ARK Venture Studio and Eagle Venture Fund, we’re now looking for a CEO to take the reins and scale Inheritly into a category-defining company.
The Role:
We’re seeking a strategic and hands-on Head of Product to own the product vision and delivery of Inheritly. You'll translate our vision into a product roadmap, build intuitive and compliant user experiences, and work closely with design, engineering, partners, and stakeholders. You’ll lead product development from MVP to scale, with a strong focus on user adoption and enterprise integration.
Mission & Culture Fit:
You’re obsessed with building products that customers not only trust — but genuinely love. You see legacy planning as overdue for reinvention, and you're excited to challenge the status quo with elegant, intuitive solutions. You thrive on translating complex, emotionally charged problems into seamless user experiences.
The skills and experience you will need:
* 5+ years in product management, including experience owning a product roadmap end-to-end.
* Proven ability to secure product-market fit and go from zero to £2m+ in revenue. Demonstration of data-driven decision making and ability to pivot rapidly.
* Experience in B2B SaaS (and nice to have in insurtech, legaltech, wealthtech)
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including working with enterprise partners.
* Nice to have: Familiarity with products in regulated industries
Key Responsibilities:
* Own the strategic product roadmap: Define, prioritise, and communicate product strategy aligned with business goals and customer needs. Lead the design of new features that deliver recurring revenue.
* Embed data and AI into the product roadmap: Use data and AI pragmatically to drive our roadmap, ensuring absolute accuracy during sensitive life moments.
* MVP data-driven prioritisation: Lead MVP development and iterate based on data and client feedback to refine features and optimise impact.
* Help build a transformational customer journey: Deliver more value at less cost, with user expertise as a key element.
* Cross-functional leadership: Collaborate across product, tech, and sales to bring features from concept to launch.
What success looks like (first 12 months):
* Define and align the company around a clear 12–24 month product vision and roadmap, adopted by leadership by Month 6.
* Launch Beta/MVP solving core pain points, with a target NPS score after 12 months.
* Establish a reliable, scalable product development and release process by Month 6.
* Build customer insight loops with monthly user research by Month 3.
* Provide a short note or Loom explaining why this role and mission resonate.
