Product Manager; Lending - Engine Starling

At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology.

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and two years ago we split out as a separate business.

Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back‑office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success.

We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies.

You’ll have touch points with our existing and future clients to ensure we support them effectively.

You’ll enjoy problem solving, getting to the detail, and understanding how clients can make the best use of our product, whilst designing ways to improve it. Your work will span product strategy, client‑facing requirements gathering & solution design, and product ownership in an Engineering context.

• Contribute to the overall lending roadmap with inputs from your sub‑domains.
• You’ll work cross‑functionally with engineers, designers, document writers, and QA to drive the design and delivery of improvements to the product that align with the vision of the business, taking into account existing and potential clients.
• You’ll confidently and independently prioritise incoming tasks and clearly communicate ‘the what’ and ‘the why’ of each decision to both internal and external stakeholders.
• You’ll manage deadlines and be responsible for proactively raising delivery risks that may impact our client projects.
• You’ll develop a close relationship with our Delivery and Customer Success teams, taking the lead on assessing feature requests and client requirements as a key input into overall feature and roadmap definition.
• You’ll work closely with our Business Development team by helping the team understand Engine’s capabilities in your domain and joining early‑stage Sales conversations as an SME.
