About Octopus Money
At Octopus Money, we’re on a mission to make money advice accessible to all – because the right advice can turn your life dreams into reality.
The facts are alarming: half of Brits reach retirement age without enough money to live the life they want, financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health and only 8% of us have access to 1-to-1 advice.
With Octopus, you get a personalised plan and a friendly expert to help you make it happen. We combine advisers, coaches and technology to understand your situation and recommend the right steps for your savings, investments, pensions and more. Then, we make it easy to invest in a custom portfolio, managed by experts.
We believe everyone deserves personal, 1-to-1 advice with their money.

About You
Collaborative and a great team player
We’ve built a great team of top performers, and you’ll need to work with others from across the business to identify problems, agree solutions and implement changes.
Problem solver at heart with an analytical mindset
You should be someone who gets excited by complex problems and can find creative ways to solve them. You should be able to digest complexity and develop a plan to move forward, without losing sight of the important details.
Goal driven and not afraid to get stuck in
We like to set ambitious goals and find creative ways to hit them, even if that means rolling up our sleeves and doing manual tasks before we’ve managed to fully automate them. You should have a bias towards action and getting things done.
Knowledge and Experience required

* Strong background in product management, preferably within fintech, financial services, or investment platforms.
* Proficiency in AI-powered tools for product management, including data analytics, automation, content creation and user insights.

* Experience working in an agile environment, driving rapid experimentation and iteration.
* Strong analytical mindset with experience in defining and tracking key product metrics.
* Ability to simplify complex financial concepts for a broad range of users.
Nice to have (but not essential)
