We’re looking for someone special to fill a brand-new role in our product team, leading Saffron’s new product development (NPD) agenda in both mortgages and savings. Saffron Building Society is a successful, growing lender with a clear strategic direction to be mortgage brokers’ first choice for their complex income cases. On the savings side, we serve a loyal and affluent customer base through a multichannel service proposition. We’re award-winning too, being named both Building Society of the Year and Mortgage Provider of the Year by Money Age. But we’re not complacent; our new strategy sets a clear path to growth and we need someone who is skilled and passionate to take us to the next level. This key role combines customer curiosity, commercial excellence and a can-do approach to project management. You’ll need to understand our customers’ needs, size commercial opportunities, work collaboratively to design distinctive products, and ensure they launch brilliantly in the market. A natural collaborator with a sound understanding of how to balance risk and growth, you’ll love the challenge of working with different teams to help our customers with their mortgage and savings needs. The Opportunity This is your chance to redefine the future of our product range. You’ll come into a respected and supportive team to help make our strategy a reality. You’ll work cross-functionally to lead the product innovation roadmap, owning all aspects of NPD and ensuring we deliver growth for the business. Key stakeholders will be Risk, Sales, Marketing and Change/IT. The focus will be on mortgages, including keeping our criteria and policy under constant review to ensure we have an advantage in the market whilst keeping within risk appetite. There will be some work to do on savings too, but this will be a smaller part of the role. What We Are Looking For Ideally Industry Expertise: Proven experience in mortgages, building societies, commercial products, or other regulated financial services. Specialist or complex lending experience (especially in relation to lending criteria & policy) is particularly welcome. A track record of successful NPD, from market analysis and concept development to launch. A strong understanding of regulatory environments and the ability to navigate compliance challenges. Strategic Thinking: The ability to identify opportunities and transform them into actionable product strategies. Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills – you’ll be working with diverse teams and senior leadership. A customer-focused approach and a passion for creating solutions that improve lives and build trust.
