Senior Product Manager

Acre is rebuilding the UK’s £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages.

Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We're covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow, to getting your keys. We're guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers.

After a hugely successful 2023, during which we achieved an impressive 400% year-on-year increase in mortgage volume, we have sustained this momentum by doubling our market share in 2024. To keep pace with our growing user base and maintain Acre's position at the cutting edge of innovation in the mortgage market, we are looking to expand our team.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and customer-focused Product Manager to lead the development and continuous improvement of our consumer services tailored for homebuyers as a part of our product team. Your work will develop and ship services that surprise and delight homebuyers and support them through the whole experience of buying and selling their home.


The ideal candidate will bring a curious mindset, eager to learn about mortgages, insurance, conveyancing and financial advice while having a strong background in product management for consumer services (apps, websites), with experience in leveraging user data to optimise products.


Acre is a product-led organisation and we believe strongly in collaboration between product, design, and engineering. There is no limit to the growth you can create as a part of our team which already facilitates a large share of the UK’s mortgages.

Responsibilities


As a Senior Product Manager in our product team, you’ll be responsible for delivering the following inside of your areas of responsibility:

  • Own the product lifecycle, from ideation to launch of new products, improvement and maintenance of existing ones, ensuring they align with the company’s strategic goals and quality standards.
  • Define product vision, strategy, messaging, and roadmap, based on a deep understanding of the homebuyer market, user needs, and business objectives.
  • Work closely with designers, creative software developers, and our users to build, ship and refine product features that resonate with homebuyers, balancing technical feasibility with user needs.
  • Test your designs with your users, in person or in the product via A/B tests, to validate assumptions, iterate on features, and optimise performance and engagement.
  • Leverage user data and analytics to gain insights into customer behaviour, using this data to inform and prioritise the product backlog, with a focus on user engagement and revenue growth.
  • Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to user growth, engagement, and revenue, adjusting the product strategy as needed to meet targets.
  • Champion the voice of the customer, ensuring that the app meets the needs and exceeds the expectations of homebuyers.
  • Collaborate with marketing, sales, and customer success teams to develop go-to-market strategies that enhance user acquisition, retention, and revenue.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with key users, stakeholders, and partners to ensure the services evolve with market demands.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement within the product team, encouraging experimentation and innovation.

Once you’ve smashed your task, we'll set up one last interview with your future colleagues and senior leadership. There we’ll chat through your task or technical exercise and talk in a bit more detail about the role you’re applying for.

Acre simplifies home-buying

Brokers are an important part of getting the best deal on your mortgage and insurance, and they help you navigate the process of buying a home. However, they’re often limited by tools that are outdated. These tools don't use existing customer data, so you have to constantly provide the same information over and over again.
We make the process easier by:

Putting users first

We’ve designed our platform around the users it serves. By putting home buyers and brokers at the heart of its design, Acre is building the best home buying experience in the market.

Automating compliance

There’s an unchangeable ledger of all actions so things are never out of sync. The requirements, documents, and rules change to match the product being sold, so there’s never any wasted energy.

Improving cross-sales

Protection, home insurance, and conveyancing, are all included in the journey. And if a client decides later on they want to buy one of these through their broker, they won’t need to start the advice process over again in a new tool.
