About Groundsure
Groundsure is an authority on environmental risks. The main arm of Groundsure’s business provides environmental reports on residential and commercial properties. These compile authoritative, site-specific data and provide an assessment on various environmental risks to property (flooding etc) to inform a purchase, and form part of the ‘searches’ a conveyancer is typically required to order as part of any property transaction. Groundsure is a market leader, with the majority of the residential market ordering searches from Groundsure. 
 
Role Overview
  • We are looking for a product manager to help grow our exciting blend of software and ‘report’ products (software generated documents, consumed largely as PDFs)
  • In collaboration with colleagues, the incoming product manager will ensure we are doing the right things at the right time to take our business forward
  • The work will be varied; working across different product types, markets, industries and territories
  • The role sits within the Product team; composed of PMs, Designers, Researchers and Data Engineers, and will work collaboratively with Engineers in our own flavour of agile 

About the role
Your key responsibilities will include:
  • The “what”, “why” and “when” of our product development
    • Defining and communicating the “what”
    • Motivating stakeholders and teams around the “why”
    • Ensuring we’re doing the right thing at the right time (the “when”)
  • Maintaining momentum, making trade-offs to ensure we are regularly delivering incremental customer value
  • Having a deep understanding of our customers and the markets in which we operate
  • Facilitating communication between teams and stakeholders
  • Helping to define and drive the product strategy

You will be:
  • Collaborative in nature, working closely with design and engineering colleagues and others in the business to plan, define and deliver the work
  • Outcome focused, but comfortable working to deadlines and the business’ chosen planning framework
  • Familiar and competent with product management techniques and practices. Able to plan and deliver activities to tease value from customers and colleagues alike
  • Comfortable defining, designing and delivering customer research
  • Data-driven; making decisions based on all available information and testing hypotheses and assumptions appropriately throughout the lifecycle of a product or feature
  • A strong communicator; being able to tailor communication styles to different audiences. As comfortable engaging with engineers as with c-suite
  • Keen but lean; meticulous in research, planning and documentation, leaving no stone unturned - whilst remaining flexible and agile enough to pivot when needed
  • Balanced; as the intersection between customer, business and technology you will possess the ability to weigh up and communicate different kinds of value
  • Curious; you will possess a learning mindset, always driving towards the next test, learning and decision
  • A nice person! Open, honest, diligent and respectful in all things.

 Your experience:
  • A strong and demonstrable track record of creating value by solving problems end to end
  • 3 years experience in a product management role is desired, however equivalent or relevant experience will be considered for the right candidate
  • Knowledge of the mechanisms and processes surrounding the assessment and acquisition of property (in the UK or elsewhere) is desired (but not essential)
  • Familiarity with products that communicate, translate or visualise data is desired (but not essential)
