Data Product Lead

Location: London (Dean Street) or Manchester (Spinningfields) | Hybrid: 2 days in the office per week

Level: Lead

MONY Group - Where better off begins.

We’re on a mission to help millions of people make better financial decisions and build brighter futures. Through trusted brands including MoneySuperMarket , MoneySavingExpert and Quidco , we reach millions of people every month, making money simpler and helping customers get more from life.

We’re building the next generation of consumer technology experiences, using data, cloud technology and AI to solve real problems at scale. But technology is only part of the story. How we work matters too.

Our culture is shaped by our behaviours: Accountability , Simplicity , Inclusion and Innovation . We take ownership, make the complex simple, value different perspectives, and challenge ourselves to find better ways to do things. It’s how we create products our customers trust and a workplace where people can do their best work.

As our Data Product Lead , you’ll provide strategic leadership across Data Product and Advanced Analytics, shaping the data products and capabilities that help us understand our customers, make better decisions and deliver measurable value.

You’ll lead our Advanced Analytics product area, including MAPs, our strategic customer intelligence capability, while developing our Data Product team and helping shape how we use data, analytics and AI across the Group.

If you’re excited by turning complex data opportunities into products that create genuine customer and commercial value, we’d love to hear from you .

About the Role

As our Data Product Lead, you’ll sit at the intersection of Data, Product and the wider business, identifying where data and advanced analytics can have the greatest impact and turning those opportunities into clear, scalable products.

You’ll own the vision and roadmap for Advanced Analytics and MAPs, our account-level customer intelligence capability bringing together Main Account Facts, Activities and Predictions. Working across Data Science, Data Engineering, CRM, Finance and other teams, you’ll balance competing priorities and focus investment on the opportunities that can create the greatest value.

This is a leadership role as much as a product role. You’ll lead and develop three Data Product team members, establishing strong product practices, clear accountability and a culture of continuous learning.

You’ll also help us explore what’s next. As AI and advanced analytics continue to evolve, you’ll bring new thinking into the team, helping us identify where emerging capabilities can solve real problems and create practical value for our customers and business.
