About The Role
We are seeking a Founding Product Manager to join our newly formed Digital Banking Products team and lead the build of our online private banking solutions at UBP.
This is a rare opportunity to shape digital services that extend the relationship between our clients and their banker, give them a clear view of their wealth and let them act on it securely, wherever they are. The work is led by a small, empowered product team, sitting close to our relationship managers. We are starting in London with our UK clients, with payments as our first product, and will grow across products and locations over time.
As Founding Product Manager you will be accountable for the value our digital offering delivers to clients and to the bank. You will shape what the team builds, grounding those decisions in evidence from clients and the front office, and steer each release safely through the bank’s governance.
You will work every day with a product designer, a tech lead and engineers, with direct access to clients, relationship managers, the bank’s subject matter experts and senior leadership.
