At Defaqto, we are on a mission to empower everyone to make smarter financial decisions, and we want you to be a part of our exciting journey to become the #1 provider in the UK. We are committed to excellence, not only in our people but also across our diverse portfolio of products:
- Our ratings, which provide consumers with expert guidance at-a-glance when purchasing financial products
- The most widely used financial planning software in the UK market; and
- Mission critical technology that helps product manufacturers to optimise the financial products that they take to market.
The Opportunity
We are excited to invite applications for a unique strategic opportunity to join Defaqto as Ratings Proposition Lead. This role will be responsible for all of Defaqto's ratings products within the General Insurance and Banking sector.

Ensuring all products and services comply with relevant industry regulations, you will also be working with relevant internal and external partners to bring products to market. Central to your success, you will continually evaluate the product portfolio to determine how to optimise growth plans, both for revenue and profit.
As you develop and implement product pricing strategies across the growing portfolio of products, you will need to analyse market trends, customer preferences and cost structures to set optimal pricing for each product offering.
The top 3 essential technical requirements that we are looking for:
1. Proven track record in product development combined with extensive experience in the ratings and / or data industry, operating in a product management capacity
2. Demonstrated success in developing and launching relevant products, ideally within financial services
