Senior Product Manager

Cardiff, Wales, UK

Summary

Led product strategy, vision, and commercial outcomes for the Home comparison vertical (£3m+ p.a.), encompassing Home Insurance, Energy, and Broadband, while owning the energy switching product portfolio (B2C and B2B2C).

Highlights

Relaunched a dormant energy proposition, untouched for four years, delivering it with a lean team of 3 developers and returning the flagship product to market.

Scaled the energy product to over 1,000 daily quotes, achieving a 2x increase in conversion rate and 4x revenue growth within 12 months.

Reduced eight competing senior leadership goals into two clear OKRs, significantly improving focus and stakeholder alignment, delivering an 8% revenue uplift on a product already generating £3m+ p.a.

Redesigned the prioritisation framework for the Home vertical, an approach later adopted by the Motoring vertical (the group's largest revenue stream), enhancing strategic focus.

Built a repeatable, hypothesis-led experimentation model, embedding A/B testing into product decision-making and delivering £269,000 in additional annual revenue.

Delivered product changes that reduced average customer premiums by 4.5%, outperforming the wider market by 2.3%, enhancing customer value.

Introduced data and insight tooling, improving visibility of user behavior, supplier performance, and optimization opportunities across the energy portfolio.

Drove strong delivery outcomes, leading to the expansion of the product function and assuming line management responsibility for an additional Product Manager.
