Lead Product Manager (Native Mobile App | Scaling business | Product Growth)

London (2 days/week) | up to £120k

We’re working in partnership with a profitable, stable B2B2C Scaling business that’s reached a clear inflection point.

Their mobile app has launched, the 0→1 is done and the product is live, the focus now is scale: taking what exists today and turning it into a genuinely high-performing, repeat-usage product with strong activation, engagement and retention at its core.

This is a Lead Product Manager role, but also the most senior product presence in the business.

You’ll sit across squads, working closely with the CTO and PMs - moving between being hands-on in delivery and stepping up to lead, align and raise the bar across the wider product function.

What you’ll be responsible for

• Own and define the Product Development Lifecycle - from discovery through to execution and measurement
• Set a clear standard for what “good” looks like across product delivery and ensure it is consistently applied across squads
• Translate product vision into clear, executable roadmaps and outcomes
• Keep squads aligned, focused, and accountable for delivering against agreed goals
• Be hands-on in squads when needed - supporting shape, slicing, UX decisions and delivery clarity
• Drive consistent GTM and launch execution across teams to maximise adoption and impact
• Ensure outcomes are tracked and progress is visible, measurable, and acted on
• Partner closely with CTO to improve SDLC/PDLC flow and optimise delivery effectiveness
• Coach and support PMs to improve product thinking, execution quality and decision-making
• Act as the senior product voice internally, helping communicate direction and narrative across the business

⚠️ What this is not

• A pure strategy-only Head of Product role
• Stepping away from execution
• Centralising all decision-making away from PMs

It is about:

raising the bar for Product Craft

creating clarity for the cross functional squads

improving how product gets built and shipped

enabling teams to move faster with better outcomes

What we’re looking for

• Experience in consumer-facing mobile apps (native app essential)
• Strong track record of driving activation, engagement and retention-led growth
• Experience leading multiple PMs or squads in a scale-up environment
• Comfortable operating between hands-on squad execution and senior leadership influence
• Strong product operating model experience (PDLC / delivery systems / ways of working)
• Experience with experimentation, A/B testing and data-led decision making
• Strong alignment with engineering on delivery flow, quality and prioritisation

This is an exciting moment in the product lifecycle - the foundation is built, the app is live, and now it needs to scale into something that genuinely drives daily behaviour and long-term engagement.

Success here will look like a step change in activation and retention, a more disciplined and scalable product operating model, and an app that becomes the primary way users engage with the platform.

If you’re someone who’s scaled mobile-first products, enjoys bringing structure to fast-moving environments, and cares deeply about building products people actually return to - this is a strong next step.
